Evil_Sabre Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I made this thread a year or so ago and it got deleted when we changed forums, so I thought I'd try it again to see if people have changed their opinions. From what I remember there were a lot of answers involving Nickelback, Dragonforce, and Fall out Boy. Some of my personal picks would be (in no order): Nirvana, Owl City, Metallica, and Guns n Roses. So what are some groups or artists you find everyone likes but you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Inc Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Well simply because I hate something everyone else likes doesn't mean its overrated. For example, I really dislike metallica, but I can admire what they've done for the music industry. Just... Fix that hair. And I think the problem with Dragonforce is people take them seriously, and, well. Thats the whole problem. But in all seriousness, the most over rated band/artist? Trey Songz. Ugh. I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001.

Obtaurian Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 What are the criteria for determining whether or not a band is overrated? To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intriguing Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Stupid thread. Most of the time artists that people would call overrated are those who either pioneered or popularized a new genre. Of course such artists are going to appear overrated in comparison to artists that follow them, as the following artists are focusing not on creating a new sound, but on perfecting an old sound. The other instance in which one might consider an artist overrated is simply because the person doesn't particularly appreciate the type of music they play. In that case, it's not so much to do with the artist's ability as it is to do with the subjective genre preference of the listener. So again, stupid thread. Cool.

The other instance in which one might consider a thread stupid is one which a mod has already locked, or will lock sometime in the near future. So again, pointless post.

Zierro Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think a lot of people are drawn to Tool solely because they aren't traditional and that's the spirit of rock. What drew me in was their take on the whole "heavy" sound. I really can't stand how most bands implement heaviness. Most of them just take it too far making it too husky and leaving no room for melody. For me, Tool is one of the only ones who seems to be doing it right. Some good examples are the endings of Parabola and No Quarter. Don't get me wrong though - there are a lot of Tool songs that would make me rather listen to The Beatlers.

champion Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 John Mayer :wall: Agreed, seems to me like all of his songs are mumbling and overly repetitive choruses. I could say Nickelback and the like are overrated but a lot of people properly think they suck, so it's not necessary. Can't think of any other bands at the moment.

Rush---I'm a drummer and I'm even beginning to think these guys are overrated. Now they're not garbage, but their stuff just doesn't do it for me anymore. I could go on for hours about all the bands I hate. Pick anything that came out in the last 10 years and I'll probably hate it.

I think your confusing stupid threads with unpopular threads. I have no doubt this thread is going to get replies, and it doesn't constitutes something worth locking. Regardless, the point still remains that this thread is just a place for people to bash artists, and while some discussion may be generated it really has nothing to do with the merits of the thread but on the quality of the few posters who will generate discussion here.

D Jay99 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I actually really like Have a Nice Life even though I've never bothered to read the lyrics (nor the 75 page booklet :mellow:) :P Most punkrock and stuff like that (the offspring sum41 and more of that) is really overrated, the songs are all the same and they usually have some fake happy sound to them.And yeah I never really liked Tool, mostly because I couldn't care less if something is deep.
