Most music from the past few years has svcked. The downfall of music began with Nirvana and the grunge movement.

At least it's had the positive effect of making country so popular recently.

That right there, disqualifies you from posting on this thread

Which part? The overrated part or the fact that he used to like him?

The fact that he used to like hi..he...it

Also, this:

Oh god all those stupid indie bands just t me off. LIke Arcade Fire, oohhh, he mumbles and there are 16 members how fancy. Seriously I cant like them, and everyone claims they are original and stuff, but they aint.

I meant that REM are so bad, because people still listen to them are over-rated


I must've forgot, they aren't the worst ban in existence, but a lot of people view them as gods.


I think it can. They might've defined eras, but that doesn't mean they aren't over rated. They have spawned bands which are occasionally better than them, chances are, someone can do Hendrix better than Hendrix.

I'd like to change my answer to "whatever your favorite band is."

The Beatles really do take the cake on the overrated scale. I've never heard such unexciting music in my life. I wish they'd stuck with being an alternative punk band that ate fried chicken on stage and set fire to condems. Then they might have been something interesting.

Pretty much every female pop star out there today

EDIT: I love Metallica. And so many people these days think they're overrated that they actually qualify as underrated.

It's pretty obvious that most of the people calling Metallica overrated have probably only listened to songs like Enter Sandman or St Anger.

80s Metallica and 90s/2000s Metallica might as well be two completely different bands, that's how much their newer stuff svcks. Noone should judge them on the past two decades.

Dang, you beat me to it! I was gonna say that! :intergalactic:

While it is true that I haven't heard much of their stuff, I still think they're way too hyped for what they are. I like Enter Sandman, but that's about it :shrug:

ok well you're wrong but have fun with that

I've listened to Metallica since I was 9. I'm 6 months shy of 30. So, yeah, I don't fall into your ill-formed notion. I liked them when I was younger, hated them when I got older, enjoy their older music now, but I still think they are damn overrated. Worst part is, the whole Napster thing got them even more attention, even if it was negative, it still attracted people towards them, and some of those people listened to their music to see what it was all about, which realistically was probably their plan all along. People love a ruckus, and will pay attention to one no matter the reason.

U2
Elvis Presley (not saying he's bad, but not as good as people seem to think he was.)
Almost everything people buy according to the (Dutch) Top 40.

Metallica was great back then but now, for me they just don't sound right. i wish they still had Cliff Burton.

Beatles are awesome to me whether overated or whatever. Its all opinion.

Escape the Fate: My sister listens to that. I tihnk I liked one of their guiar solos and that was it. Can't stand all that shrieking and whining.

\/ Just look at my sig. Oh, and the Jonas Bruvvahs *shudder*

Let me guess, your dad listens to them so to be unique you dislike them? Thats some individualism right there!




The Beatles aren't really overrated, they are good musicians but it appears that they have been caught up in some sort of fad.

AC/DC

I think they're utter crap.

I was also thinking "most overrated hate" is an interesting point. Another one is that "Friday" song by whatever her name is, the one that provoked such ire; when I eventually heard it I was left wondering what was the big deal. Yeah, it was inane and not very good... like a substantial amount of the pop music to be found in the charts at any given time since about, well, ever really. But prior to hearing it I'd got the impression it had somehow redefined terrible music, which it just didn't, at all.

I suppose I'm left feeling as puzzled about the bands and singers that people love to hate as I am about the seemingly inexplicable success of REM etc. That said, I have an enduring hatred of much of what my sister used to listen to, since being forced to hear such drivel on a regular basis gives you a very special appreciation of it...

I also agree that Pink Floyd is overra....ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD

Overall I have to agree. They portray that really ignorant beer-swilling working class appearance, but it's all really phony anyways.

Still though, angus young has an awesome guitar tone.

Any thing to with rap
