Soundgarden is a great band and superunknown is one of my favorite albums, but it didn't really have a breakthrough song that would make everyone go 'holy sh!t, that's amazing', and shift everyone's attention away from metal.
Smells Like Teen Spirit may not sound that spectacular now, but back in 1992 it absolutely blew me away.
Rofl @ oasis overrated.
Never have been, never will be. You have the lowest album selling @ 3.0 certified RIAA and your best album at 18x(Not many bands do that... wow) Probably 30x by the end of the decade, then we'll talk
Oasis has NEVER been overrated, their music is praised and criticized on a MUCH higher level. If you realize that Heathen Chemistry and Standing on theShoulders of the Giants, both good albums(NOT GREAT)< they were rated BELOW PAR and even bashed.
No one in America knows who Oasis is and never willb ecause of your EXACT idiocy "BLoated egos". You grow up poor with no dad and we'll talk about who's overrated champ. Then make 2 albums, the 2ndof which you achieve peaks not many bands will in their career.
Oasis is still managing to sell out tours in AMerica (MSG Earlier this year, anyone?), so stfu, because I take it personal. I admire them from where they came for and their ability tomake their OWN Music and do covers that are usually even better than the original song, b-sides that are a-sides for your favorite band, My chemical romance, NOOB

No way, Black Sabbath are gods... they created heavy metal.
Pink Floyd?!?!?! You can't be serious.... Roger Waters is one of the greatest song writers of all time.
Greatful Dead.... I'll give you that, only because I can't stand them. But there are many that worship them.... go figure.
How did I forget REM? I'll put them in a tie for 3rd with 311... 🙂
No, you can thank Iron Butterfly for that.

fixed... He's got the least talent. His band, and mostly everyone he tours with are real musicians.

His singing is up to if you like his voice or not
you either hate it or love it.

1-Green Day. Catchy songs, sure...but they way overhyped and overrated. Media Darlings. They liked the album when they heard the title, way before they heard the songs.
2-Black Eyed Peas-Make them stop!!! They are horrible. The dude(s) mumble, and the chick is a whiny beotch. She also looks beat. I know looks don't have to do with their artistic talent, but their promotion group shots are painted with the ugly brush dipped in gnarly paint.
3-Red Hot Chili Peppers (flamesuit on), I like most of them on their own, they have plenty of talent...no question there. I just don't understand why some of their songs are played over and over again.
DMB-Not too fond of them either. But their drummer is something else. Would like to see more him on his own.
slightly OT-Does anybody know the comedian that makes impressions of DMB and Hootie and the Blowfish. Friggin funny. He also makes fun of eddie vedder and others I think.

I am 42, play guitar and sing in a coverband. I do a bit of synth and bass on the side. I have discussions like this in my band where I am the oldest guy. There's a lot of stuff that they didn't pick up when bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who were making waves. Plus they are more Top 40 oriented than me. There's a lot going on besides the Top 40 from which commercially succesful bands get their inspiration/rip-offs.
My 3, in no particular order.
- Michael Jackson
Robbie Williams (suprised I didn't see that one yet)
Just about any DJ except maybe JXL.
I read U2 once admitted they didn't dare to play as a coverband, back in the day, because they didn't have the musical skills it would take. That's why they decided to play their own music. I like playing Vertigo with my band because there's so much energy in that song.
Edit
I would have liked to add Sting. He can join Bono is in his sacred quest for world peace until his balls fall off, for all I care. He takes himself way too seriously.

While I understand that you favour Oasis highly above Queen, that doesn't make Queen overrated, still. I am not a big Queen fan too, but I can't deny their talent and musicianship.
How can you downplay Brian May's playing like that? Anyway, I believe Freddy was an amazing singer/performer and songwriter. Your Oasis frontman doesn't even come close. But that's just my taste.
Besides, We Are The Champions has become a soccer anthem way, way after release. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the epic songs up there with Child In Time and Paradise By The Dashboard Light.
