Most Underrated/Overrated Artists

~~Fabio~~ · 10-11-2012, 08:27 AM

Often in all artistic fields to be overrated or underrated depends ONLY from how much money a company invest on your work to support you in the media circus.
Do we really think that the music mags, the radios, the tv's don't receive money or favour to tell us that Rhianna (is just a name for example) is fantastic and you are a jerk if u don't buy her stuff?
Imagine how easy is to convince the teenagers that if they listen to something they are cool and part of a cool community.
The history of music was, is and always will be full of underrated great artists and terrible jerks that the world considers great.
That' s life, simply

Super-Bob to the rescue!

Let me know how you feel. Took me a few listens to truly appreciate the lyrics to be honest. "Celebrity" may be in my Top 20 songs of all time.

end of story.

I would say more of Nicki Minaj. Minaj was expected to make great music but instead is making laughable music.

Why was she expected to make great music?

Please tell me it's not because of her booty.

Has reasoning in this thread gone completely out the window? It seems to just be people naming artists.

One artist who I'd put into the under-rated category is The Weeknd.
The guy kickstarted a one man revitalisation of r'n'b last year with three excellent records in his debut year.
In the span of 12 months, he made r'n'b relevant to me again, and alongside Frank Ocean is the only r'n'b artist I could give a sh!t about.
The guy's incredibly versatile and has probably the best voice in modern music.
Yet, few people on here talk about him in this vein, if at all.
We should be hailing him as the next big star, because he will be very soon.

Over-rated: Pg.Lost.
I'm sorry if some of you guys are going through your obligatory pretentious music fan descend into post-rock wankery, but this band are not as good as everyone crowing about them would have you believe.
I challenge any Pg.Lost fanboy to tell me what they've done that hasn't been done a million times before, a million times better by bands like *shels, GY!BE, 65daysofstatic or The Slowest Runner in The World.
Plus their name pisses me off, as it's too close to the excellent Pg.99.

Three excellent records? One maybe.

I agree, Nicki Minaj! And all those auto-tune fakes like Britney Spears etc.
