Who determines if a band is overrated? What if the opinion of the person that says they are overrated is overrated?
Overrated was a term invented by doofuses that want more people to hate the same things they do.
Pink Floyd was before I was born and I consider them one of the greatest bands in history. Beatles aren't really my thing though.Most bands of the late 60s and 70s such as the Beatles and Pink Floyd. While they were great musicians, they are put on a pedestal by the demographic dominance of the baby boomer generation.
Again, don't flame, they were great awesome musicians, but people act like their music was beyond comparison to anything ever produced in the history of the world.
The Beatles are overrated.
And I dont believe too many arguments about them being "influential". Paris Hilton has influenced millions of young girls all over the place.
Jesse Jackson has influenced millions of black men in America.
They are both people who qualify as "influential" even though I dont care for what they've done. Dunno if influential should be an automatic WIN when describing someone. Especially if the argument is Overrated vs Underrated, which is what we have here.
nine inch nails
the man popularized an entire sub-genre all by himself.
All of these bands, all of them, have more talent in their little finger than all of us do combined. They'll always be better than us and I guarantee that if you were in a position to request an improv jam that all of these bands would knock your socks off.
Such a subjective question anyway.
Coldplay... Honestly, I hate to say this (big Joshua Tree era fan), but modern U2 sucks, and they're treated like rock gods... Look at Pearl Jam - they're not given much respect but still continue to make decent to good albums (while releasing classics in the 80s/90s).
That whole sub-genre is overrated. :awe:
I like Reznor, I just don't especially like his music.
This thread is going to be fun.
I'll help:
Metallica
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
U2
The Who
Michael Jackson
Elton John
Foo Fighters
Beatles
Pearl Jam
Rolling Stones
Neil Young
...not a lick of musical talent in any of their bones.
Is my sarcasm meter broken?
If not,
motion to nominate edro as the biggest idiot on ATOT.
Overated?
Maybe a couple of those on the list.
No musical talent?
Absolutely preposterous.
