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?
The Beach Boys. Talent a mile wide and an inch deep.
I always thought they were a bit lightweight and "poppy" but I caught them at a festival in 1973 and I was very impressed. The studio version of good vibrations was brilliant although they could not produce that sound live.
So. Damn. Many.
Elvis. The Beatles. Coldplay. Nirvana. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Abba. 50 Cent. Beyonce.
That's it for now, lol.
Oh, and The Rolling Stones.
@KCjoe108 We can always bring back the Bay City Rollers for you!
@phxbillcee
Who the fuck are they???
The Beatles????!!!!!!!!!!
There are bands I don’t like, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re overrated. I’ve never gotten the appeal of Justin Timberlake, but I’m not gonna knock him. The Stones haven’t put out anything I’ve liked since Tattoo You, but some weirdos actually prefer their older stuff. Radiohead? I loved The Bends and Kid A. Johnny Greenwood is great. Then they stopped being a guitar band.
Is it an American Band?
We used to call them Grand Fucked-up Railroad!
Not a band. But Diana Ross is completely overrated. Her voice is whiney and lacks range and creativity. Youtube her when she sang with The Three Tenors on PBS. She was totally out of her league. And the tenors didn't bend an inch to accommodate "Her Highness".
I'd have to agree with you on Radiohead. They've got a couple songs that are ok but they're really just kind of blah in my opinion. I saw them a couple of years ago at a music festival and we were so unimpressed by them that we left after they played 2 songs.
The Ramones and that stupid Gabba Gabba Hey song. Blech!!
There are definitely more overrated bands from each decade, but this is my list.
60's: The Doors
70's: Led Zeppelin
80's: Metallica
90's: Nirvana
00's: Coldplay
@JustLynnie I haven't, and I don't like smoking of any kind. If you need to get high to appreciate Led Zeppelin then that proves they are overrated.
@JustLynnie I think it's the other way around. Music is one of the reasons I haven't committed suicide, so don't tell me I don't know the power of music.
