For me it is Radiohead. Sorry fans, I just don't think they should be treated as gods of new music. Seems no matter what they put out, people just melt.
Not to say I don't like some of their stuff, I just think they are way overrated for what they do.
Who is yours?
Led Zepplin.
you ARE kidding.......right.Robert Plant...Jimmy Page,John Bonham and John Paul Jones..Plant,one of the most highly praised vocalists/////Page...came up through the ranks of GREAT BRITISH guitar players.You DO realize he played with Clapton/Beck and the rest of the Blues Breakers band.The drummer and bass player stand on their own merits.Did you listen to the music backwards trying to hear the devil?PLEASE,you guys.come to whatever senses you have left.
@PalacinkyPDX do you ACTUALLY KNOW ANYTHING about Led Zeppelin? Or have you just been watching videos of the 3 stooges porno....WOW
I was never a fan of theirs as well.
Way over rated.
@lookinhard No, I'm not kidding. I was asked for my opinion, and I gave it. You get to add your own, but you don't get to dispute what I feel. I never liked LZ, even as a kid when they were still a working band. I never said they weren't talented. I just answered that I think they were/are over-rated.
There's a difference. Don't come at me sideways just because you don't like my answer.
@KKGator RELAX......didnt come at you any way.Sorry for giving my opinion.please
@lookinhard No, you absolutely came at me.
You felt the need to attempt to "educate" me about the band members in some sort of effort to defend them. That was unnecessary. Especially seeing as how I never even said anything other than the name of the band.
"Did you listen to the music backwards trying to hear the devil?PLEASE,you guys.come to whatever senses you have left."
That's not just "giving your opinion", and don't tell me to "relax".
@KKGator you take care now.really sorry about stepping on your toes.won't respond to any more of your stuff
@lookinhard Awesome! Thanks.
I screwed up terribly. You are correct and i was mistaken. You didnt say anything but the name. The rant was not aimed at you. Really soory
@lookinhard Apology accepted, thank you for extending it. Have a good night.
Way to start WWIII!!!! LMFAO!!!!!
@Akfishlady Yeah, I can't stand Coldplay or ABBA either.
@JustLynnie ABBA is ABBAmonable!
Country music. I love this old joke:
What happens when you play a country song backward?
A guy gets his job back, his truck back, his dog back, his woman back and his trailer back.
The Hooties, so much so the the term hootie effect is used when a band is more popular than they deserve.
REO Speedwagon gives me the urge to rip vocal chords out. To boil my eardrums in acid. To find the dullest knife to jab repeatedly into speakers...
Beyonce (I realize she is not "a band" )
I know what you mean but she did a good Etta James in movie Cadillac records
SO over rated. Don't like her or her shallow vapid "music" at all. "Single Ladies" blech!
The Grateful Dead. That band is definitely less than the sum of its parts.
@Akfishlady The irony is that I just made a ton of money playing a weekend in a GD cover band at a hippie fest in the hills of redwood country. I had a ton of fun, but I still am no fan of the Dead.
I always thought that if all of you guys are gonna follow a band around, why not follow a GOOD band.
REM. All their songs sound exactly the same, and it was pretty dull even when they started doing it.
@Akfishlady I have The Pixies for that purpose
Steve Miller Band
monotone drivel.
But some complex lyrics! I'm gonna fly like an eagle... So deep
@weelittleone So profound I am still pondering the meaning. =0}
@PalacinkyPDX That & "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've got love in my tummy"
1910 Fruit Gum Company. But they were not a band. They were a joke on anyone who bought that piece of vinyl unless it was for a beer coaster.
Greatfull Dead, REO, KISS, KC and the Sunshine Band, ABBA, Kansas
@Liberty I hated disco.
Christ on a bike, I forgot fucking Coldplay. How many variations on one tune can anyone get away with? They have the answer. And Ed ‘the looper’ Sheeran.
Gwenythe says he is a "genious". At plagiarism perhaps.
Van Halen! Ugh, especially when David Lee Roth was lead singer.
I can't stand the screeching vocals!
@JustLynnie I do not dispute that at all. But, David Lee Roth sucks.
Anything involving Prince. The definition of quantity over quality. His whole image was a cheap polyester rip off of Little Richard, and he looked like a foetus dipped in pubic hair.
Try listening to his album "true". No hype, only released to his fans, largely acoustic and no videos etc.
Oh wow, we really do need to get married. Here in the UK, Radiohead have been widely considered the Greatest Band Of All Time for many years; personally, I fail to see any point in them at all. People say, "Oh, but the lyrics tap into the melancholy of existence," and I say "Yeah, but Leonard Cohen and Joy Division did it far better decades ago".
I was now going to write a long list of all the other bands I view in a similar light, but to be honest there are so many I just can't be bothered. Abba would be high on that list, though.
@Akfishlady The main reason I stopped going to gay bars was I just couldn't tolerate any more Abba! have you seen Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?
@Akfishlady Best line in any film ever:
