Most Underrated/Overrated Artists

Franco Pepe Kalle · 08-28-2012, 08:02 PM

I would argue that Alice in Chains is one of the overrated bands. It made ok records but their lead singer to me was trying to sound more aggressive than Kurt Cobian. That stinks very badly.

I would also add that U2 is somewhat overrated because it has bad musicians. The only reason why U2 is anything is because of BONO. Vieux Bono.

Burning Down, I don't hate Lady Gaga. Let me make that CLEAR. I don't hate Lady Gaga but she gets over promoted. Her second album was a major fail. Her songs of her second albums were nothing. Lady Gaga is a great singer to me. She can sing no doubt about. In fact months ago, I said that I want to see Adele and Lady Gaga sing together because it would be a excellent duet. I stand by that. Lady Gaga is a great singer. One song that she made that I will always enjoy is BAD ROMANCE. Great Record.

One of the current overrated rappers to me is Mr. Clown fish Petite Lil Wayne.

Was he? I didn't go back too far in the conversation, but what I saw said "You have to admit he's good", which I took to mean something else, I guess.

You just sound bitter. I don't find Thom Yorke's voice appealing, and you more or less take it personally. I like a couple of Radiohead albums, and respect the artistic direction of the band, but they can be a snoozefest at times, and Yorke's voice doesn't help keep me interested.

I think OK Computer's a great album, for what it's worth.

Either way, not going to spend two pages squabbling over this. Yorke's voice is often out of tune, and shakey in general. He's just not very smooth-sounding.

I'm basing my take on it more on this:

Oh now it's Alice in Chains. I guess you just don't get them, like people that don't get Radiohead in this thread.

Look, I don't get Madonna but I also don't go about bashing she can't sing.

I'm not sure there's anything I could say to this that you wouldn't misinterpret.

I'd be interested in hearing a Thom Yorke solo record though, just to see how it sounds.

He has a solo album, actually. It's called the Eraser... It's basically Radiohead minus any guitars, though.

I'll still give it a fair listen. Thanks, i'll look into it.

His vocals were horrrrrrible on those albums! I still love them and own them all, but come on. :P His voice was a train wreck.
