[N£MO]

Radiohead,Oasis and i agree with you Metallica too. ;)

[Celerystalksme]

Silverchair, Radiohead and Savage Garden...

[soopaman]

Bon Jovi - They reek of shit!!

Nirvana - Take off the rose-tinted spectacles. They weren't that good!!

Michael Jackson - Hasn't made a good record since Off The Wall. And he's a nonce!!

[hypoluxa3k]

Oasis :angry:

the brits wanted a band to crack the US, so desparate they were, they hyped up these idiots.

anyways i'll add another couple of bands...

The Vines *Even though im an aussie they are f*cking pathetic*

and

Queens Of The Stone Age (yeah they are good...but come on they are no where near the greatest band of all time hype)

[BigBank_Hank]

Well i'm gonna be brave and put on my :flame: suit I'm gonna have to say The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I can't see how people can listen to that crap.

[N£MO]

I agree with what someone above said.Linkin Park are way over rated IMO. ;)

[zacspeed]

No Doubt =
Utter shite
<_<

[Celerystalksme]

Your right there i downloaded that and it is crap.

[AlucardXXVII]

I&#39;m backing up all the people who said Linkin Park. Same with Limp Bizkit. How they both got on Sanitarium, I&#39;ll never figure out. Metallica used to be cool, but their new album isn&#39;t worth the shit I could wipe on it.

Linkin Park = Mall Metal (Young children, mainly girls, freak out about this group. And why does that blond headed bastard scream like a fool in "I WANNA HEAL I WANNA FEEL WHAT WAS SOMETHING NOT FOR REAL" ?)

Limp Bizkit = Suck (because Fred Durst refers to the name of the band in every song)

EDIT: In my most humble, informed, honest opinion =]

[Jay]

i hate all the boy bands

one more vote here for Radiohead and Oasis as the most overrated bands. i want to say The White Stripes as well, but being a mediocre Led Zep tribute band still isn&#39;t nearly as bad or pretentious as Radiohead and Oasis.

i spat in chesters face and threw a glass bottle full of piss at the loser guitarist (the one that was stood on the right hand side of the stage, fuck knows what his name is).. anyway.. HAHAHAHA LINKING PARK YOUR COVERED IN MY SPIT AND PISS YOU LOSERS&#33;&#33;

I would also like to point out at this time that linkin park MIME ON STAGE&#33;&#33; .. losers had nothing plugged into the inputs on the guitars and bass.. the singers had headsets on which im sure were telling them which words to sing... the only guy doin anythin was the drummer, but the poor sod got kicked off and deftones drummer took his place.. the "DJ" mixed in the wrong samples for the songs they were playing and the whole show was a fucking farse lol&#33;&#33;&#33;

O well deftones rocked and so did taproot.. after watching the taproot singer jump from the seating area balcony into the pit, i decided that there was no need to try and run past the bouncers on the downstairs doors anymore...

Anyway back to overrated bands.. Nickelback.. they should burn, Limp Bizkit.. how the hell can anyone call them good.. ok 3 dollar bill y&#39;all was ok.. but after that they just took the piss, i mean "keep rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin" whilst doing a shitty little pop band dance routine..wtf is that about... they can go on the fire with nickelback&#33;&#33;

Haha glad im not alone here

There are just too many pop bands with guitars nowadays, busted are a prime example

[olibomb]

I hate The Strokes

[Amplifier_SFH]

Linkin Park is pure garbage and OVERATED
Limp Bizkit pure garbage not overated
Rolling Stones are overated, they are good, just not THAT good

[mdb175]

I&#39;m a Beatles lover since I was a child but I must tell that I have also ever loved bands like the Rolling Stones, Who, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Hendrix, ...

In my humble opinion 99% of the bands known in the last, say, 20/22 years, should pay a FAIR fee for the good influence that the bands I mentioned gave them.
Many bands mentioned in this thread did very good songs and often very good albums, but they can&#39;t compete with the importance of many amazing Bands that were almost ever EXCELLENT in the past .
Bands like Radiohead, Metallica, Linkin Park, Oasis and a ton of others will be remembered for some songs and albums, but it is unlikely that they will influence other bands in the same matter they were influenced by the greatest old ones.

In example and speaking for myself, I can quite live without listening to Radioheads&#39; OK Computer for years, but now and then I MUST give The Bends a go since I consider it a real masterpiece...and the same thing happens often with many other Bands.

It is indeed VERY difficult to always produce GOOD MUSIC and ONLY the BEST can achieve that task regularly...and usually the best are a few... :rolleyes:

Have a nice day & take good care everybody &#33; :)

Nirvana weren&#39;t about the music after all, the important thing was the morals in their songs about the changing world, shitty generations.

i.e
Come as you are - talks about how appearances are so important today ( and thats so shit >)

I could go on forever.
Please have respect that&#39;s all im saying.If you dont like the music its perfectly fine, but their reality is something totally different-

But they were overrun by fame. FOR THE WRONG REASONS--

P.s soopaman no harm meant, just sayin my point :)

Why all the hate towards metallica, I mean i understand they get alot of flack about theur views on filesharing. But there old stuff is awsome, I have not listend to any of theur stuff since LOAD, but that shit was awsome back in the day. Just wondering, I like alot of their music from back then.

Also wondering about the mention of silverchair... I have not heard from them in a long time, but they had some wasome shit back in the day to. Sucidle dreams, tomorrow.

[Control_you_3]

All the pop bands are overrated- It&#39;s not music what they&#39;re making. And they do it only for the money.
( I mean even rock bands do it for the money i.e Metallica) but I think more effort is put in the music.

Linkin park= most overrated band of all time. Everyone acts like they are the best band ever. Way too many bands are overrated from blink 182 to avril to metallica to Nirvana. If cobain was alive today nobody would care about nirvana.

[Arm]

Any new mainstream artist. They all suck. :angry: From Linkin Park to Evanescence. <_<

One riff from a power metal band will outdo every guitar piece on a whole nu-metal cd.

Hey, someone has to like the sh*t out there, if we didn&#39;t have this comercial chart-friendly singalong cr*p then the karaoke business would go under. The only reason these kinda bands are allowed to make music is so that they make the record company plenty of cash. Give it 2 years, 1month and 4 days and all those 9 year olds you see wearing Linkin Park/Limp Bizkit/Blink 182/Sum 41/Slipknot/Busted hoodies and tee&#39;s will have moved on, wearing instead the merchandise of the next generation of metal/rock/punk (boy) bands.

This isn&#39;t a dig at you or anyone else on here, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. F*ck, I know plenty of people who like them...admittedly they&#39;re all w*nkers, but then again this is Blackpool and most people here are w*nkers.

Maybe you (CeleryStalksMe) need to listen to some Royal Trux or just something a litttle more chilled than the hardcore sounds of the &#39;Park if you&#39;re gonna get so p*ssed off everytime someone disagrees with your current choice of music.

is radiohead really overrated? sure, they get a lot of attention from the critics, but half of that is people saying that they are not really that good. the people who like radiohead happen to like them a lot. those who don&#39;t like them hate on them because the people who like them like them so much. i personally think they&#39;re the best band out there right now, but i don&#39;t really see them being overrated...

[fr600]

Gregorian - Masters Of Chant...

[bongiovi]

Bon Jovi Rocks

Eminem / Linkin Park Overrated

[3RA1N1AC]

Coldplay!! and Radiohead are still overrated.

honorable mention: Bloc Party.

[mogadishu]

this thread is almost 2 years old... i thought celery was back for a second then i saw the post dates.

i am back...how fkn twighlight zone is that :D

Green Day.
Bunch of arse.

[GepperRankins]

not a band, but tupac sucks

[MCHeshPants420]

The Beatles.

[manker]

I'm not familiar with Bunch of Arse but I don't think Green Day are over-rated.

There aren't that many bands who can pull off several different styles fairly successfully and get a political message across into the bargain.


I'd say that Coldplay, Bush and Craig David (altho' he isn't a band) are completely over-rated. It's because they have enjoyed a modicum of success in the US so they get some kind of status boost from this.

A quick glance at the US charts tells me that their collective taste is not to be used as some kind of quality barometer.

[Barbarossa]

Wow! I thought it was just me who thought Coldplay were overrated... :unsure: I'm feeling part of the group at last... :)

[n18]

Dave Mathew Band, and Rage againt the machine

[Tormentor]

Wtf, this thread is retarded, how can a band be over rated? So what more people like mettalica then say staind or some shit(personally I think metallica blows), it dosnt make the band overated, just means they have a larger fan base then others.

[MCHeshPants420]

Wtf, this thread is retarded, how can a band be over rated?

By becoming famous and not having any actual musical skill.


Ten Most Overrated Bands

by TheMan

In today's musical world many bands have become famous despite having no musical skill or taste. They are in a word, overrated. It is time to give these musical cancers the recognition they deserve. It is time to rank the top ten most overrated bands of all time. The following list was compiled through deep investigative reporting and a poll of top music insiders. Ranked by a standardized point scale, these ten bands were chosen by the amount they were "overrated" in four areas: overrated albums or singles, overrated concerts, overrated hysteria, and plain out overrated musical skill.

It has been also been determined that approximately 95.5% of the fan base of these overrated bands possess one or more of the following: 1)an IQ under 50. 2)addiction to alcohol or drug-related substances. 3)A subscription to Oprah's Magazine 4)an emotional need to feel accepted and 5)no life.

Without further ado, lets begin the list of the top ten most overrated bands of all time:

10)Limp Bizkit. I wish that this band would keep "rollin'" into some deep, inescapable abyss. Hearing their music makes all of body limp. If I had it "My Way," I would take Fred Durst's red hat turn it sideways and stick it straight up his chocolate starfish ass.

9)Hootie and the Blowfish. Need I say more?

8)Pink Floyd. Perhaps the only legitimate band in the list, their reason for being placed here is strictly because of the "overrated" quality of the list. Pink Floyd is a good band, but not a great band. Devoting thirty minutes on a classic rock radio station to their music not only shrinks the intelligence of the listening audience but also misleads them into believing that Pink Floyd actually has three good songs. Maybe some education would have helped their song writing.

7)Nirvana. "Smells like something crappy." I would like to take their "heart-shaped box" and flush it down my "oval-shaped hole" in my restroom. Lucky for Nirvana, their "lead singer," and I use that term loosely, died; otherwise, they would have produced a decade of pathetic music like number one on this list. To further promote my point, Nirvana's drummer is the lead singer of Foo Fighters. Ouch, that one hurt to say.

6)AC(Lightning Bolt)DC. I believe all of the musical experts on my panel picked AC/DC for the same reason. Suppose you are driving in your car and the radio plays a song. Immediately, you recognize the song as an AC/DC hymn. Why is that? Because every one of their songs is exactly the same. To quote Led Zeppelin, "The Song Remains the Same" over and over and over again for AC(Lightning Bolt) DC. AC/DC needs to change their songs, and change their clothes(note to lead guitarist).

5)Metallica. Metallica fans are losers. Have you ever seen one w/out a black shirt on and a semblance of a tan? Do they ever leave their parents basement?

4)Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Now I can understand trying to sound like other famous and successful musicians, but why would Tom Petty want to sound exactly like Bob Dylan? This band's problem: they don't write like Bob Dylan. You guys be the boy, "in the courduroy pants", and I'll be the girl, running like a "bat out of hell" away from you.

3)The Dave Matthews Band. I have one question to the loyal fans of this group: "Can't find a better band?" Obviously, fans of "DMB" live secluded lives and fit all of the criteria listed above. Wanna see what I am talking about? Go to a DMB concert. A better name for this group would be, The Dave Matthews Wish We Were Good Enough To Be Called a BAND But Our Songs Drone On For Way Too Long And Our Lead Singer's Voice Sounds Like He Swallowed A Squeaky Toy And Got It Stuck In His Windpipe.

2)Aerosmith. The only good thing to ever come from this band was Liv Tyler. One of many bad things to come from this band: "Jaded." Need I say more? The world has only one solution. First, gather all of Aerosmith's albums. Next, hire a blacksmith to make some type of safe. Third, hire a locksmith to make an impenetrable lock for the safe. Finally, place all of the "albums" into the safe, lock it up, and throw it into the same deep, dark abyss as Limp Bizkit.

1)Pearl Jam. First of all, the band's name is a blatant rip-off of the arcade game "NBA Jam." Second, the initials of the band's name is PJ. Mess up there guys? Third, it doesn't help a band when their fans cannot understand one word in their songs. And fourth, this band cannot be very good if I do not know one of their songs. And that is saying something, because Pearl Jam is the most overplayed, overloved, and overrated band in the history of music.

Ten Most Overrated Bands

by TheMan

In today's musical world many bands have become famous despite having no musical skill or taste. They are in a word, overrated. It is time to give these musical cancers the recognition they deserve. It is time to rank the top ten most overrated bands of all time. The following list was compiled through deep investigative reporting and a poll of top music insiders. Ranked by a standardized point scale, these ten bands were chosen by the amount they were "overrated" in four areas: overrated albums or singles, overrated concerts, overrated hysteria, and plain out overrated musical skill.

It has been also been determined that approximately 95.5% of the fan base of these overrated bands possess one or more of the following: 1)an IQ under 50. 2)addiction to alcohol or drug-related substances. 3)A subscription to Oprah's Magazine 4)an emotional need to feel accepted and 5)no life.

Without further ado, lets begin the list of the top ten most overrated bands of all time:

10)Limp Bizkit. I wish that this band would keep "rollin'" into some deep, inescapable abyss. Hearing their music makes all of body limp. If I had it "My Way," I would take Fred Durst's red hat turn it sideways and stick it straight up his chocolate starfish ass.

9)Hootie and the Blowfish. Need I say more?

8)Pink Floyd. Perhaps the only legitimate band in the list, their reason for being placed here is strictly because of the "overrated" quality of the list. Pink Floyd is a good band, but not a great band. Devoting thirty minutes on a classic rock radio station to their music not only shrinks the intelligence of the listening audience but also misleads them into believing that Pink Floyd actually has three good songs. Maybe some education would have helped their song writing.

7)Nirvana. "Smells like something crappy." I would like to take their "heart-shaped box" and flush it down my "oval-shaped hole" in my restroom. Lucky for Nirvana, their "lead singer," and I use that term loosely, died; otherwise, they would have produced a decade of pathetic music like number one on this list. To further promote my point, Nirvana's drummer is the lead singer of Foo Fighters. Ouch, that one hurt to say.

6)AC(Lightning Bolt)DC. I believe all of the musical experts on my panel picked AC/DC for the same reason. Suppose you are driving in your car and the radio plays a song. Immediately, you recognize the song as an AC/DC hymn. Why is that? Because every one of their songs is exactly the same. To quote Led Zeppelin, "The Song Remains the Same" over and over and over again for AC(Lightning Bolt) DC. AC/DC needs to change their songs, and change their clothes(note to lead guitarist).

5)Metallica. Metallica fans are losers. Have you ever seen one w/out a black shirt on and a semblance of a tan? Do they ever leave their parents basement?

4)Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Now I can understand trying to sound like other famous and successful musicians, but why would Tom Petty want to sound exactly like Bob Dylan?

No musical skills? How the fuck do you get millions of fans with no musical skills? You dont. You damn dirty musical racist.

[MCHeshPants420]

By becoming famous and not having any actual musical skill.



No musical skills? How the fuck do you get millions of fans with no musical skills? You dont. You damn dirty musical racist.

Then explain a band like The Spice Girls. They didn't play musical instruments, don't write their own songs and can't sing live. Yet were once the most popular band in the world.

That's an extreme to be sure but an overrated band would lie somewhere between The Spice Girls and a decent band; lacking any credible musical talent.

A band can get massive amounts of fans because people are, on the whole, very stupid and will listen to what they are told to listen. We live in an age where we are force-fed bands and if you can't understand the concept of overrated bands them I feel sorry for you.

Also, a band can release one good album and then turn into self-indulgent shit. People think they are better than they are because the sun shined on their ass for one day. Like The Smashing Pumpkins.

Just to let you know spice girls had talent, singing is a fuckin talent you know. How the hell can a shitty band have millions of fans with absolutley no tallent? because one person told everybody they were the best? dont fuckin think so, people like the music because it sounds good to them, wich is the point of music, would you listen to music that you thaught sucked because someone told you too, dont fuckin think so. your opinions are bias and stupid. overrated is just another way of saying i hate this band.

What a naive opinion you have there. And you managed to completely miss my point. And you seem to like the Spice Girls as well. :ermm:

No,not true...i like the beatles...but they are so fkn overated it's not funny.

[MCHeshPants420]

No,not true...i like the beatles...but they are so fkn overated it's not funny.

I was going to add something along those lines. Saying you think a band is overrated doesn't neccessarily mean you hate them just that, maybe, you are "meh" to them and really don't see the fuss. Or you like them but feel everyone is "blowing smoke up their asses".

Yes, particularly pointless when you are unable to grasp the actual point(s) being made and can only resort to cheap insults.

People aren't neccessarily saying they hate a band, they just can't see what the fuss is all about.

[GepperRankins]

the spice girls voices were all digitally enhanced or faked anyway. they couldn't sing for shit. if you ever heard them solo you'd know all they can do is talk on key.


most bands that split up or had a member died at their prime are over-rated. don't quite know why this happens but... tupac? biggie? the beatles? nirvana?

Success in pop-world isn't about music anymore, it's about fashion. Talent has little to do with it. More often than not, it's about having a face that fits in the right place at the right time.

Look at the Crazy Frog... :lookaroun

I'm not familiar with Bunch of Arse but I don't think Green Day are over-rated.

There aren't that many bands who can pull off several different styles fairly successfully and get a political message across into the bargain.


I'd say that Coldplay, Bush and Craig David (altho' he isn't a band) are completely over-rated. It's because they have enjoyed a modicum of success in the US so they get some kind of status boost from this.

A quick glance at the US charts tells me that their collective taste is not to be used as some kind of quality barometer.

Yes, the British seem so much more discerning then us American heathens.

here's an interview with a true musician, please listen out what he gotta say.

Especially the part where he tells thae music nowadays is just cosmetic.. (how the looks is more important than the music).

It's an 2 minute interview with one of my favorite artists that i recently saw perform live in the Netherlands :)

Haven't been in here much lately.... but to jump into the discussion the Most overrated band is probably U2. There's alot of other overrated bands too, but at least they don't take artist names like "Bono" and "the Edge." What a bunch of gays...

That's utterly irrelevant. I said that America's collective taste is not to be used as some kind of quality baromenter. I did not say that the UK's should.

I see that you've condoned the UK Top 40 - personally I think it's a pile of wank but to each his own.

[3RA1N1AC]

rock 'n' roll integrity is overrated. "this band writes, produces and performs all of its own songs." so what, if the songs aren't any good? it's just a different method of producing music, in contrast to a manufactured pop act. britney spears for example may not write & produce her songs, so she apparently lacks talent in that respect. but whoever DOES write & produce britney's stuff is definitely quite talented -- her albums contain some of the best mainstream pop ever recorded imho, regardless of whether or not britney is a talented person.

i don't have any less respect for britney's songwriters & producers than i'd have for, say, burt bacharach or brian wilson (beach boys) or timbaland. or mozart, for that matter. they're all talented composers & band-leaders who used other people to perform their music.

You said that British folk seem to have much more discerning music taste as a collective than the American heathens and cited the UK Top 40 as a source to validate your claim.

I think the UK Top 40 and the US Top 40 are both a pile of wank.

I'm sure some of the soul/R&B lovers would shoot you for saying that :lol:
what with Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, etc etc

in the 60's and 70's bands actually played ;)

If i had to choose a decade... it would have to be right now. Music these days are dead.

If i had to choose a decade... it would have to be right now. Music these days are dead.

I heartly disagree. I think music is coming more alive than ever right now, with all that technological innovation brings to it. And even in a classic sense, there are some sweet bands with original sounds like Secret Machines and The Arcade Fire that are turning out brilliant albums.

ohhhh...... the Rolling Stones are one of the most influential bands of all time. Nameing off all there great songs would be pointless. Just look at all the generas of music that sprouted up because of them. Without the Stones there would be no rebellious rock. The Stones directly caused the Beatles to take drugs and create more, instead of the saccarine tinged "I wannaaaaa hhold you're hand" pap.

Nirvana. :dry:

Nirvana was way over hyped, but they did open up a whole genera of music to a lot of people. Nirvana almost single handidly created modern rock radio stations.

And without the blues, there would be no Rolling Stones.

And without black accapella and latino guitar there would be no blues.

So with out former slaves and illegal aliens, there would be no "rebellious rock"

It all comes from somewhere.

[ModestoMouse]

True, it does all come from somewhere. You could probabally trace it all the way back to whoever created the universe. But would you call God overrated for creating the universe? The Stones and the Beatles were genera influential, like muddy waters and B.B. King before them.

[Wolfmight]

Never heard but one song from Silverchair, and it was called "Untitled". Sounded like a the theme for a someone who is very depressed or holding a rage inside of them.

Anyways, I thought these were overrated at the their time:
Static X - A few good songs, but the rest get annoying because of the dude's voice...eh
Brittany Spears - ...how she has crashed and burned now of days.....even the slutty album didn't save her.
Jay Z working with Linkin Park - Collision course...literally. Bam!, nothing new.
Metallica and Tu-Pac - Loads of albums, but the songs are nothing new now of days. There are some people that are fan-addicted to these still. They should try some other music too. Maybe Fuel...or Sean Paul (shake-dat-ting----miss canna canna....)

[ziggyjuarez]

sounds like you need to find better radio stations to listen to.
like what? hot97? :lol:
Hot 94.1.F.M over here,sux:pinch:

[nkhlsrf]

i think radiohead

[daveboyboy]

Probably every band listed on the first page, especially Nirvana.

[AuReDo]

Green Day

[silent h3ro]

Fallout Boy and Green Day IMHO

[vlcoq]

there are so many of them on the top:: oasis

[silent h3ro]

Oasis isn't overrated where I live.

I think the MOST overrated band (on the radio at least) is Nine Inch Nails, IMO. More so than Green Day and Fallout Boy.

[killuminati96]

U2
Linkin Park
My Chemical Romance

[trevor2000]

I'm backing up all the people who said Linkin Park. Same with Limp Bizkit. How they both got on Sanitarium, I'll never figure out. Metallica used to be cool, but their new album isn't worth the shit I could wipe on it.

Linkin Park = Mall Metal (Young children, mainly girls, freak out about this group. And why does that blond headed bastard scream like a fool in "I WANNA HEAL I WANNA FEEL WHAT WAS SOMETHING NOT FOR REAL" ?)

Limp Bizkit = Suck (because Fred Durst refers to the name of the band in every song)

[cpt_azad]

Any metallica after 'justice', black album (and all others that followed) = overrated, and don't give me crap about how the black album was good. it was not. it was nothign compared to their previous works and is over-sensanatlized by people. I cringe nowadays because people assosciate Metallica with "enter sandman" and "nothing else matters", when I mention songs like "battery", "fade to black" or even "seek and destroy" they raise their eyebrows in a vain attempt to understand the situation, just ridiculous.

-green day
-mcr
-Sex pistols
-nirvana (oh god, i'm gonna get flamed for this)
-coldplay

oh and a note to some ppl that might have forgotten the name of this thread, it's most overrated bands not bands you don't like

so saying that, I do like nirvana, I do have some coldplay on my computer, and I sure as hell have tellica's discography, but they sure are overrated (exception for metallica on albums before the black album).

[Morgoth]

Without a doubt NIRVANA.

[tesco]

Has anyone said The White Stripes?

They've had like 2 or 3 catchy songs.
Now any crap they want to put out (icky thump, that other new one) gets HUGE airtime because people listen to it just because it's a "popular" band. :frusty:


Another one is radiohead. Same thing. They had 2 good songs (creep, iron lung).
The new stuff is CRAP and the radio stations still play it. I don't know anyone who likes their new stuff.

[tiolewis]

Metallica.

[angryghost]

Fall out boys, never really understood their music and wayyyy to overrated

[javchik]

Mushroomhead

[RoSsoNeRI]

I would go with Metallica as well

[grimms]

Not really into rock that much, so i wouldn't know.

[shot2hell]

nirvana

[NOLF]

In my opinion U2 is VERY overrated

[JROQuinn]

Korn(although I like their earlier albums), Limp Bizkit

I can see where some say Metallica is overrated. The loss of Jason made that an easy choice.

[Presto]

In my opinion U2 is VERY overrated

:cry:

Anyway, I agree with Green Day. It's really-really overrated if you ask me. As well as most of the "punk-rock" bands.
And I totally agree with JROQuinn about KoRn & LB.

[grimms]

nirvana

Not much into rock but kurt cobain was good also gwen stefani from no doubt was good as well.

[motomonst3r]

Don't flame me, but man Enya is so overated:rolleyes:

[callygull]

Arcade Fire - I just don't see the big deal.

[FiXXXeR]

I agree that U2 is Overrated. But for me the must overrated band is Snow patrol!!!

[kubrick]

In Australia that would have to be wolfmother.

[Cruel]

I'm saying Metallica since they haven't done anything good since Load/Reload (Yes I know the earlier one was better but SINCE) and even though Nothing else matters is great.

[AmpeD]

U2:sick:

[mayhemInc]

Foo Fighters

[sandtaker]

I think U2 currently and Limp Bizkit although they are around anymore, they were massivly over rated in thier day.

[tesco]

oh U2 for sure!

[sscape]

Limp Bizkit

[typeoholic]

Killswitch N'Gays

[Evil_Monkey]

Fuck U2...
the music was ok when it was first released
but now those bitches are taking over the world :ermm:

[Smith]

Greenday

[angryghost]

My Chemical Romance :emo:

[athenaesword]

yeah U2's way overrated. i got a tonne of their songs and am deleting them one by one every i hear one lol.
and i somehow don't really like radiohead's music either. i did try hard to like it though, got all their albums and played them back to back for quite some time. after awhile i just gave up lol.

[Definite]

Linkin Park.

[oddball]

I dont care if i get flamed for this but...

Linkin Park

:lol: I'm with you man. They do suck bigtime.

Limp Bizkit is awful too but I guess everybody knows that.

And there are so much more...

Way too many to mention...

Way too many...




Oh yeah and Kanye West :ph34r:

There I said it.

[suppie727]

linkin park is definitely overrated. their sound has changed way too much and they're just like another other pop artist

[axlrose17]

Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit

[1000possibleclaws]

Linkin Park is one of the most overhyped and overrated band for sure.

I wouldn't go as far to say lIMP BIZKITs music is overrated though. It's not revolutionary or anything, but Rollin' is a pretty good driving song, and the Unquestionable Truth EP is actually pretty good rapcore, in a ratm-esqe way

[mamacita]

OMG yes! People actually agree with me! Linkin Park is so wildly overrated it's mind-numbing. Their music is decent, but its just as decent or even worse than other rock music that's out there. I remember thinking that I used to like "In the End" but then it got overplayed so much I wanted to take a hammer to any radio I heard playing it.

The other group that sucks beyond compare but was crazy popular is Blink 182. Their music was simple a kid could write it, and what's worse...they couldn't even sing!! Did you ever hear them live? *covers his ears*

[iamKy666]

All those idiot nu-metal listenings...metal scene was much better before their existence.

[F3n1x]

u2

[SenorBubbz]

Panic at the Disco

I know shit loads of people obsessed with their completely fucking shitty ass music

Fuck them

[markupmaster]

I'm not going to lie..

I like linkin park..

:P


/me prepares to be attacked..


But, I do agree that Limp Bizkit it totally overrated...

since ive known little more about axel rose i think guns&roses is one of 'this' band

[IdolEyes787]

I think anything by the Rolling Stones after Goat's Head Soup is pretty awful.

Gallows

[under.zero]

Metallica

[wazza100]

i think angels and airwaves blow bad, one decent song all the rest are crapper versions of the adventure. they became what tom set out they shouldn't be- a one hit, a one person band.

[antiglitz]

Most mainstream bands today. They pale in comparison to the bands that became mainstream in the decades before.

[Express]

metallica

[Mudbug]

Oasis and Green Day.

[lopezfd]

Metallica

[layla17]

I agree Metallica is completely overrated.

[1000possibleclaws]

Gallows

lol but Gallows are the next best thing in hardcore since Refused in '98 :O

[Sanka113]

Nickleback...Ughh!

[Bassi2o]

Bon Jovi
Linkin Park

[ljqzkw]

Most overrated....Metallica, Radiohead! ppl say Nirvana, but its just that back in the 90's ppl played there songs like crazy on radio, and especially Smells like teen spirit, Bloom, Come as you are etc, "Smells like.." is the most overplayed song in history of radio!

most underated...I gotta say Rage against the machine, fucking killer band...they get no publicity, little airplay, but their albums are still killer!

[silent h3ro]

I also think that Nirvana is overrated but that is because the lyrics make no sense at all. A good example is Smells Like Teen Spirit (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nirvana/smells+like+teen+spirit_20101055.html).
