Most Overrated Band(s)/Music Artist(s) of All Time : Othor Games

» Thu Sep 02, 2010 4:04 am

There is no such thing as "overrated" or "underrated". Just things you hate that others love, and things you love that others hate.
You're telling me that your personal opinion denotes that *insert band that you hate that 90% of the world loves* is "overrated/bad" simply because..you don't like them? Is your personal opinion that important, that it supersedes 90% of the world, thus making said band "overrated"? Lol?
I've not the faintest clue how you people take yourselves seriously. :rolleyes:
Music is nothing more than personal opinion, sorry. Either you like it or you don't. Anything other "emotion" associated with the classification of musical taste is irrelevant.

UR RONG!

I can't take your subjective opinion regarding the validity of our opinions seriously. :rolleyes: Its not hard to recognize when a certain artist reaches a "saturation" point in regard to critical acclaim, coverage by the media or word of mouth. For instance I love the Beatles. I really do. But in spite of their great contribution of Pop/Rock music I don't think those nice little Lennon/McCartney ditties are as profound as many try to play them up to be. In that sense I feel they're over-hyped. Doesn't mean I hate them (as you stated above). Just that they've have too much press and too many accolades above what they're music warrants.

Whats wrong with this? When 90% of people like something and someone doesnt, of course they are probably going to call it overrated, and others will agree. Yeah its opinion, but that doesnt make calling things 'underated' and 'overrated' meaninless, its just a way to express your personal opinion on said topic.

Almost everything comes down to personal opinion, you can make this argument with a lot of things especially morals and the existence of good and evil. But that doesnt make it wrong to call something good or evil.

You're exactly right.
But what's wrong with it is the ridiculous slandering and crude remarks that follows the statement "Such and such band is sooooooooo overrated! herp!". It's annoying, very annoying. Because people generally base these slanderings off of the fact that they think their own personal opinion is fact. Which it's not. Just reading half of the remarks made in this thread is evidence of this. It's laughable.
And my argument stands for the taste of musical preferences alone. I make no argument against good and evil using similar logic, but your statement was correct.

@Jeffredo
It is your personal opinion that the Beatles get too much coverage based off what their music warrants. Some might argue that it warrants more.
So. Who's right?
