or vice versa. what were some bands that were really good, but never really caught on.

my pick would be saosin. they were awsome, (by were i mean the original saosin. theyve changed a lot) but they never really got big until recently.

anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Hanson. they were supposed to be something of the alternative to BSB and NSync. and now that I'm older they definitely weren't all that great.

Frightmare have alot of talent but I don't see them catching on anytime soon.

A band that cought on quick but were pretty horrid = KoRn. Probably the most annoying band on Earth.

Also any teenage pop boy band crap that get the 13 year old girls in a lather. Their not worth the cd's they're recorded on.
see this is an over the top band-you-love-to-hate mess made of a perfectly decent band, overhyped yes, but ****s sake they werent bad, i saw them live and they did a reat job and apart from chad krogers dismal lyrics i thought the music itself was just as fantastic as they're live performance, there is nothing wrong (imo) about Nickelback.

Aside from them writing boring music? Nickelback are by no means talentless, but they do write some bland songs and seem to recycle alot of ideas they used in other songs. That aside, they do know how to play their instruments well enough to be writing something worthwhile.

Nickelback is overrated and there's just nothing special about them.

littleknowitall 12-24-2006 03:43 PM
Yes overrated but i can hardly see how they can be compared with a crappy school band....thats a bit insulting, they have talent.

so how do you explain the popularity of the spice girls? Popularity has more to do with marketing than tallent
Franz Ferdinand and The Killers aren't anything special


any way my choices for bands all about image
Bullet for my Valentine
My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy
Funeral for a Friend
Marilyn Manson

as for a band who never caught on
New Model Army, fairly succesfull but I allways think they're underrated

Got to agree with you on most of those especially MCR. I saw them with taking back sunday (amazing) when the lead singer guy (dont care about his name) had long red hair (2003 or somethign) and they didnt care at all about there image which was awsome and their singing was more raw and creative than since they've started getting big

ArtistInTheAmbulance 12-26-2006 10:53 AM
smashing pumpkins.
although that wasnt image.
that was just.. yknow, i dont know what happened there.
