Over-rated musicians/bands

The problem is that many Radiohead fans seem too stubborn to admit that Thom Yorke did not invent the damn genre. Radiohead is overrated because everybody claims that "Radiohead did it first". No they did not, they were just the first ones to become popular (which has more to do with luck than talent most of the time).Nazulu said:
It's fine to enjoy it. It's another to purposely ignore and flame other bands because they can't be the Beatles. So many bands get blasted by Beatles fanatics for "screwing up" cover songs and anyone who even attempts to bad mouth or even express disinterest in the Beatles gets eaten alive. Seriously, they had a good thing going and they were extremely influential, BUT you gotta hand over the reigns. The Beatles are (almost literally) dead and gone. Stop making them out to be some kind of gold standard. They were just four guys with some really good ideas, not rock gods.Nazulu said:
People who like psychadelic rock like it because it tries to not center around simple riffs and other rock cliches. It's more of an experience with the music than just listening to a song. But there are so many genres and bands that also do this that get skipped over because they aren't on the same list in iTunes as Pink Floyd.Nazulu said:
It sounds like you are one of those "rock snobs" who thinks they know everything about music, but in reality don't really listen to much at all. I notice that you didn't even respond to my posts about Metallica and Dragonforce.
One of the most overrated bands of recent comes from the past...more like history...ancient history. Metallica sucked when they were 'heavy' and new with mediocre sound and themes, and they suck now with FAIL sound and pathetic themes. Maybe they could've salvaged some dignity if they'd all died in a fire or a were hit by an 18-wheeler. There is heavier, better music by newer, better bands people. Stop throwing money at these old, tired men. I know they need hip replacements and all, but they're millionaires already.
Here's a hint, in case you missed it:ironlordthemad said:
Every band that has EVER existed is over-hyped, and over-rated. The worst offenders will change depending on who you talk to. Oh, and EVERY band / artist / musician's a dirty worthless sell out. Asking people's opinions on the matter will tell you EXACTLY what I've told you here, you'll just have to slog through a lot of crap to realize it.
I was trying to make a comment about the fans of metallica instead of the band themself. I used to be all over Metallica then I heard stuff like Sleepwalker, In My Darkest Hour, etc. I still like Metallica just Megadeth a little more because all Metallica songs follow the same formula (2-4min buildup, 3minute singing, 1 min solo, then end).Zeeky_Santos said:

Nope, I'd agree with that. They've got about two songs that I enjoy, the rest never even began to interest me.RavingLibDem said:
I also never understood the thing about U2. Admittedly I dislike Bono for a whole heap of other reasons but, even if he were 'just some bloke', their music would still bore me to death.
The whole Metallica vs Megadeth thing is absurd to me. I agree with what someone said back there - they're both overrated by their fans, while anyone else doesn't really care. I have a few Metallica albums, most of which were bought for me by others - they're alright, but nothing to get excited over. I have precisely two Megadeth songs and, to be fair, they're both great songs but there's no way I could put up with a whole album of it. Quite how either band manages to inspire such ardent fanboyism is a mystery to me.
Kanye West, his music I suppose would be passable, but he acts like he is god because he got one or two hits. (Golddigger is the only song of his I know and that is solely because Weird Al polkafied it.) Although I have to admit his mentally retarded antics for the fun times make. Didn't he try to say he was more popular than god or something? I am pretty sure only the Beatles are more popular than God. Also "I wouldn't want a books autograph." Shine on you crazy diamond.
As for most underrated, Weird Al.

Slipknot, Nirvana, Metallica, Pantera, etc.
People expect me to listen to these bands when I mention the word "metal", then get an incredulous look on their faces when I tell them I don't. Fuck them.

Aerosmith, Taylor Swift, Nickelback, Metallica after Ride the Lightning, Blink 182, Slipknot, any parasitic over-sexed female pop star who doesn't write her own material, any electronica band, any screamo band, any bullshit "post-grunge" band who's trying to be a modernized Nirvana but can't write music or lyrics to save their lives...
They aren't "over-rated" necessarily because liking them is a subjective issue, but I certainly can't see the appeal behind any of them.

Well you didn't say any of this the first time, no you had to wait to be provoked. I shouldn't have to go through with that but what the hell!
To say "Only half the band is even still alive. Get over it already" is what an asshole would say!
As for Pink Floyd, people listen to their songs, believe me. You know they have great riffs, also riffs aren't just made by guitars either.
As for what you said about Metallica, well you don't like their sound and their is nothing no one can do about that. Dragonforce, I agree with that one.
No you said "Radiohead (seriously, there are so many more bands to be paying attention to in alternative than these guys)", which has nothing to do with their fanbase thinking they invented the genre. I also hope you don't believe all Radiohead fans are like that.Cerrax said:
Once again you said "The Beatles (Only half the band is even still alive. Get over it already)", which once again has nothing to do with people flaming other bands because the Beatles are the best and whatever.Cerrax said:

It's because you said something completely different this time and that you assumed I could read your bloody mind! I listen to a lot of music, probably more than you so don't even go there.Cerrax said:
