List of overrated bands

The Sisters Of Mercy.

There, I said it.

I mean, they are good, but not deserving the maniacal praise they attract.

I find myself pretty disconnected from the modern Goth scene to be honest, so I guess you could say I think the majority of modern goth bands (by which I mean whats played in the clubs) are over rated.
There are of course exceptions, but it's true of the majority. Maybe I'm just not "down with the kids" anymore :p

There, I said it is a given

literally would throw a tumbler of sulphuric acid in the face of anyone using THERE I SAID IT

Music

INCREDIBLY overrated. People are so caught up in the music scene that they forget that there's more to life. A simple book can get you out of reality. People obsess about originality and being unique and individual... but they always limit it to the music scene. Society cannot think outside of music. Music is conformity itself, believe it or not. We have people thinking that they are rebelling by LISTENING to metal. People thinking that if they LISTEN to underground bands, they are different. They limit originality to what they LISTEN to.
15 year old boy: I'm tired of being a tool of society, I think I'll go rebel by LISTENING to black metal.

Person1: Oh, she listens to Good Charlotte, she must be a teenie.
Person2: He's gangster, he listens to rap.
Person3: He's so punk with his mohawk and his Sex Pistols tee.
Person4: Ew, you listen to Beyonce? Don't talk to me.

Notice how I emphasize the word LISTEN. Only because people judge others depending on what they listen to. Music went from something beautiful to something society uses as a tool to stereotype people/bring people down/judge people.

Music is the route of stereotypes.
Music is destroyed by society.
Music is overrated.

No, you've been labeled a troll for being a twat - by me in fact. The only person who can claim to be 'God' around here is me, and I'm both not that egomeniacal and not a moron who thinks that kind of thing is 'cool' when it's just lame. But then, I've stopped being (and stopped acting like) and angsty teen for a long time now.

You're lucky you just got the label, initially I was just going to deactivate your account outright, but then I saw you started to actually post things relevant to the topics you were posting in. If you keep it up, I'll remove the label again.

Sorry, I call em as I see em http://www.goth.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

As for getting on topic - last time I was in clubs (granted it's been years know, ahh, kids ... ;P) I found a lot of basically techno music being played and trying to pass itself off as goth. WAY overrated and definitely not goth. But maybe I'm old school for thinking that music, any music, should have an actual artist involved somewhere, not just a completely computer generated track.

nilmar don't you have a match in a few hours

Music is overrated.

Just turned the telly on and saw a bit of Yes and it reminded me how I always thought that, , even back in the 70's, there was a lot of well orchestrated noise and not much substance in their music. Or was it just a platform for S.H. to irrrrrrrrrrrrritate everyone on the planet with his "pleaseforgivemeifiamgoingtoboreyouforhalfanhourwithoneofmineilostthewilltolivesolos". Am I alone? Are there any others?

Yes! Is this the most pretencious, overrated band of all time?

84. The Rolling Stones. To me they are no more than just overrated jerks who write melodically dead emotionally dry music. The most overrated band I know of, actually. The Rolling Stones receive way too much praise and credit for everything from influence to the quality of their hooks. I'd give them a one at best. That said, there are a bunch of Stones songs that I do like (even a couple that I love) and I can easily say Beggar's Banquet is a really good album, but for the most part they really leave me cold. Sorry, this is just how I feel.

i like it when people read the thread

treeship, that weren't me.

oh, people were sarcastically mentioning all the best bands. well, i'm not going to apologize for linking to that woodstock footage; i think it enriched the thread regardless.

95 the rolling stones

not quite. it's not best bands - hohoho - it's just the magic of random hating

we're crowdsourcing

This review of "Let it Bleed," written by an insane person, exists on Amazon:

1.0 out of 5 stars Ttile sound familiar?, August 25, 2004

Loyalist "Beatlenut" (USA) - See all my reviews

That's because the Beatles already released and album called Let It Be. The Rolling Rip-Offs strike again!

Stone Roses
Libertines

does that Amazon guy know the Replacements also called an album Let It Be? Didn't they know the Beatles already had an album with that title? The Replacements are overrated!

replacements? more like replacement beatles amirite??
