Haha, you're right Lil Wayne! I DO hate a shy *****! I'm so glad I could find a musician who shares my view on shy bitches.ShotgunSmoke said:
Green Day. Two words. Get it right. Saying its bad cos of the 3 chord style is like saying Metallica is bad cos it has heavy guitars, its the style of music. Personally I think Green Day is one of the best things that happened to punk since the first wave bands of the '70s. They are best viewed as a politically motivated band that write all of their music because they enjoy music themselves and want to voice their opinionbjj hero said:
The current day Guns and Roses is overrated, one man doesn't make a band. Axl needs to admit that GnR died when they broke up. He should go solo and redeem himself instead of pretending to be something he's not.
Nirvana seems to be getting lots of bad rep... Yes its true their sound was not original, in fact it is well known that Kurt wanted to mimic the style of one of his favourite bands, The Pixies with the combination of loud and quiet and soft and abrasive within his songs. He said once that Nirvana's sound was like a combination of The Beatles and Black Sabbath. Musically Nirvana weren't that special or different save for a few songs, as a song writer/composer Kurt was a genius. The thing that makes the band so special isn't their music but how they made alternative music popular. Just imagine all the alt bands from the '90s and imagine most of them not ever becoming well known. Its what they did to the industry that makes them special
As much as I love Metallica, they are over-rated. (except by megadeth fans who under rate them.)
Also any music from the fecking disney channel. Yes, I'm looking at you "The Jonas Brothers."

Nirvana had a few good songs.. I thought they were okay. You can't deny how they changed the industry in the 90's, going anti-establishment and paving the way for what was one of the freshest eras for quality music.
Course, they did effectively kill Metal, and i know alot of people that hold that against them. Cobain dissed PEARL JAM, however, so that guy will forever be cool in my book.
Alot of older bands... It's a situation of "You really had to be there" to understand the impact they had on the industry. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Nirvana....They were really trailblazers who have, since then, been mimicked and copied so much that NOWadays they seem cliche. Many people don't realize that THESE are the bands that invented the cliches.
At any rate, U2 gets my vote for overrated. Them or Pearl Jam. Though i have to say Bono DOES know how to play to a crowd.
Metallica are an entertaining band simply because of their Egos. If you ever get the chance, go watch "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster".. It's a fascinating documentary about the band as they prepped to release "St. Anger".. Lars' ego carried the band to places it never should have gone. You can call them overrated, but they definitely influenced the industry, at one point.

All of these are pretty much mentioned but I'll show my list:
-Nirvana
-Led Zeppelin
-The Beatles
-Green Day (oh god do I HATE Billy Joel Armstrong's voice, I'd rather go through a wood chipper than go to a concert with him singing)
-U2
-Nirvana
-Led Zeppelin
-The Beatles
-Green Day (oh god do I HATE Billy Joel Armstrong's voice, I'd rather go through a wood chipper than go to a concert with him singing)
-U2
How about Lil Jon?Zeeky_Santos said:
To the window, to the wall. To the sweat drop down my balls. To all these bitches crawl. To all skeet skeet ************.
To all skeet skeet ************ indeed Lil Jon! No one has expressed the plight of sweat dropping down balls better than you Lil Jon.
Then I'll correct myself. Most worthwhile Metallica songs follow the same formula by having a huge intro for examplesZeeky_Santos said:
And Justice For All - 2minute buildup
For whom the bell tolls - Almost half the song
Battery - 1/3 of the song
Master Of Puppets - 1 1/2 minute buildup
One - 1/4 of the song
I think that is why Ride the Lightning is my favourite Metallica song. Takes only 40 seconds approx. and doesnt fuck around.
Coldplay, because their songs are basically just stupidly simple guitar, stupidly simple drums, and a Bono impersonator on vocals.
U2, because they're Oldplay. (Cookie if you get the joke... Please, God, tell me you get the joke.)
Also, MILEY FUGGIN CYRUS or whatever Hannah Montana is calling herself now. Dunno if anyone's said this yet, but how could I resist? Dear God, how the hell did this abomination get famous? Her music comprises the most repulsive glob of sound-shit I have ever smelled.

Ouch, well. They aren't over-rated...anymore.DannyBoy451 said:
I actually went up to someone in my school, asked them who The Beatles were, I was given a response of "I don't know."
I cried.
Also, I hate any mainstream music. It can die...in a hole...filled with gasoline.
glad someone broke the ice for me. i especially like when people praise robert plant as this gift-from-heaven singer when most of his high-pitched vocals sound almost whisper-like, mariah carey-ish if you will; not to mention singing flat in songs that apparently "immortalize him as a singer" (eg kasmir drives me nuts, the rover even though it's a great song).Superior Mind said:
now, hears where the fun really starts: there are too many over-rated bands to list, but one i think is under-rated? the mars volta. sure, sometimes i call omar's solos into question (half of the bedlam in goliath comes to mind), but this is some of the ballsiest music i've heard in the last 10 years. anyone want to challenge me on this? besides, opinion is just opinion: i won't freak out if you freak out on one of my fave bands
overrated=kurt cobain
if he hadn't blown his brains out while he was in his prime everyone would have forgotten about him by now.. just like counting crows
