List of overrated bands

57 Miles Davis where did this guys learn to play their instruments? Walmart? maybe they should try tuning their guitars BEFORE recording the album. the material is lacking. this band displays a deficit in quality with mix of atonal rhythms and eclectic presentation while their overall structural foundation has proven essential to the ecology of musical landscape all across the board i would give all albums an absolute one star if not the worst i have heard this year.

58. Johnny Cash- this guy thinks he can rap now?

59. John Coltrane - "I ran through a bunch of scales for 40 minutes! Make me a saint!"

This reminds me of about 1,000 different threads from 2001

@moodles : and thats a bad thing ???

was that not the supposed glory years of ilm ..

60. The Glory Years of ilm- A bunch of Belle & Sebastian fans talking about FAPs

61 The Clash made 3 good albums then disappeared up their own arseholes and I'd argu that supporting The Who on a US stadium tour was not the act of a spokesman of generation

62 Oasis,on the other hand,are a crap Beatles tribute band who didn't evolve at all,but disappeared up their own arseholes in a blizzard of coke.

63 spacemen 3

64. The Spice Girls are very lucky and very overrated. None of them can sing and their music is not half as good as Girls Aloud's. Spice Girls appealed to little girls. It wasn't good music - mums would buy the albums for their kids - it was all about the gimmicks.

otm ...

65. Cheryl Cole. She has been the most overrated GA member ever since she got arrested for hitting a black lady in a toliet just after the band became famous.

66. Taylor Swift. I find the allegedly refreshing and honest lyrics of Taylor Swift repellant and artificial, as if thought up by a middle-aged Swedish guy with a coke and Ritalin problem, and if I had to listen to them for long I would probably have to run screaming from the room. There is nothing in this music that does anything new besides fusing together a mandolin with a programmed drum track, and so I say it is inert, like the flattened squirrel, manufactured, ungenuine.

67 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.

68 My answer? Because the best club in the world put all their eggs in the Lionel Messi basket, and the Argentinian wonderboy is vastly overrated.

Again and again, Messi is given too much credit, too much confidence, and he just barely doesn't make it over the bar. He does enough to wow you, but whether it's the World Cup, Copa America, La Liga or the Champions League, Messi just can't switch it into a higher gear.

Does Lionel Messi deserve all the blame for Barcelona's preemptive—and slightly embarrassing—exit from the Champions League? No.

Does he receive too much praise? Are people too quick to gush over him? Is he overrated?

Join me as I present to you the five biggest reasons why I think the answer is yes.

Why Radiohead is just not good
By Benny Lo
December 1, 2000

I just got through listening closely to Radiohead’s newest pretentious opus, Kid A, and I can safely state, as well as scientifically prove, why exactly it is a heaping loaf of shit.

You have to work at albums like "Kid A." You have to sit at home night after night and give yourself over to the paranoid millennial atmosphere as you try to decipher elliptical snatches of lyrics and puzzle out how the titles might refer to the songs. In other words, you have to be sixteen. . . There is nothing wrong with making albums for sixteen-year-olds, but Radiohead’s previous efforts had more inclusive ambitions.

70 Muse are an overrated monotonous dirge, every oceansize song is different and interesting, which constitutes 'staying power'.

why do you need to feel the need to slag off oceansize then? To me it sounds as if you've hardly listened to their stuff (too much going on for you?) and probably haven't seen them live.

Pigeonholing is so childish and btw, have you heard much of Muse and Coopers lately? no I thought not, how about Oceansize? Oh right, a brilliant new album and a fresh tour to promote a new single.

Bands that people drool over, who you think are crap...
I don't see what the fuss is about - and I have quite a wide eclectic taste in music - with:

Pink Floyd
Depeche Mode
Bob Dylan
Radiohead

With the exception of a couple of songs each (except Radiohead - which is all just a depressing durge), I just don't get why people go nuts over them...

So - who do you find crap when everyone else seems to hero-worship...?

Im not unaware but you will have yourself become aware that bantz dont excuse everything

Wtf no dylan til now btw

shaun ryder/stone roses/dylan not so much overrated as just outright awful.

71 The Studio - West Coast

2/3 aint bad

72 Premier League - Its very overrated and the England national team is also overrated. Due to the media. The premier league is falling out of touch.The majority of top players around the world play in Spain or Italy and English teams performed extremely poorly in the cl. Man united are also relying on both Giggs and Scholes who are practically ancient.

either way I always feel like BoC's music creeps me out like 20% as much as they want it to, "Color of the Fire" excepted. which is ultimately why I feel they're massively overrated.

73 For me, the most pretentious, overrated band of all time is REM. God, they're dull and Stipe is almost as big a pretentious, overblown tit as Bono.

74 I got some Ramones stuff and I listened to it a good bit and I just did not like it AT ALL. Seems fairly rubbish, tbh.

Which brings me to something else that SERIOUSLY gets on my tits...

People who know nothing about music wearing t-shirts of rock bands.

75 Nirvana

Probably the most overrated band of all time. Kurt Cobain couldn't play guitar, nor could he sing, and could barely write.

His skill at guitar was so pathetic and limited that he was only able to play power chords and his guitar solos consisted of only two strings as a maximum. As a vocalist, he had a scratchy voice with a one-octave range. His vocal range was so horrible that he wasn't even able to hit the high notes when he covered the Meat Puppets' song "Lake of Fire". He often ripped off other bands (Killing Joke, The Breeders, The Pixies, Husker Du, Meat Puppets, Butthole Surfers etc.) and based his sound on their own. He even went as far as to steal a riff from Killing Joke's "Eighties"; changed it up a bit, and then used it for his own song "Come As You Are".

He was also an awful lyricist and most of his music consisted of simple wordplay that had no real meaning.

For example, let's take a look at a verse from "All Apologies":

"I wish I was like you. Easily amused. Find my nest of salt. Everything's my fault. I'll take all the blame. Aqua-seafoam shame."

And honestly, that has got to be some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard ...

*Le Gasp* You are bold! But I shall tell.

To put it broadly, I'll try any genre at least once, but of course, I like some genres more than others. In the gothic spectrum, what drew me to the music of the subculture wasn't classic gothic rock, like I stated above. It just didn't seem too mysterious to my taste. I was drawn into the gothic subculture mainly by the influences from the Victorian Period: the dark events that took place, the risque forms of entertainment, the mysterious forms of entertainment that took place in parlor rooms. Not only the Victorian Period, but also the Reneissance as well: I loved the whole atmosphere that one would feel in a gothic cathedral, or happy minstrels and gypsies entertaining in the town square. I wanted to listen to music that reminded me of these settings, and I found it in ethereal wave, "gothic" classical music, medieval folk, dark cabaret, new age with gregorian chants, and neo-classical, symphonic, and gothic metal. So, I'm in more of a gothic mindset when I listen to these genres.

But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy all gothic rock. I love Rhea's Obsession and Faith and the Muse, and I do like some songs by The Cure. I think the closet spectrum of gothic rock I listen to would be pagan rock, which somewhat overlaps gothic rock and medieval rock elements (because I noticed that a lot of pagan rock groups are also considered gothic rock and/or medieval rock, like Qntal and Inkubus Sukkubus, but I guess this topic is debatable too).

This was totally off-topic. http://www.goth.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Hmmm..... Nick cave.

I respect him, but he's kind of an artist I like select songs by, but can't really sit through an entire album of his.

I still like "The weeping Song", but I think Blixa Bargeld really makes that song....

Yeah, I just can't understand why people would just like everything that happens to fall into their chosen genre.
There should be something that ATTRACTS them to that genre in the first place.
I consider myself a full-time goth, yet most of the music I listen to nowadays would be dark ambient, martial industrial, black ambient, darkwave, neofolk, early industrial, and experimental music.

What attracted me to gothic music was not it's punk/new wave relevance, nor it's place in rock n roll history, but it's darkness and atmosphere.
What I love about classic goth bands especially was the importance of deep, brooding basslines under eerie wailing guitar effects.
Many newer goth bands tend to forget the importance of bass.

Yet, there's definitely times I would choose Laibach or Lustmord over Joy Division or the Sisters.

"Give it to me DARK!!!" says I.

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.
