Overrated songs (punk, cd, genre, Radiohead, Nirvana)

I'll get to you MIsfits but first....

boo boo,

You are incorrect. Whether or not the plot is about gang war is irrelavent. The song is a critism of youth. That is what the song is about, how it is conveyed doesn't matter. What you say you expect others to accept without question, I can disagree with you without being called an idiot and a dumbass. You get very bitchy when someone disagrees with you and it is unneccessary. The bit about "I Am The Walrus" proves to me that somethings you say are completely made up. That song is about.....nothing. The first 2 lines were written completely at random while on an Acid Trip. The following 2 lines were written the same way weeks later. The chorus is in reference to Humpty Dumpty and thrown in as another "clue" about Pauls amazing Publicity Stunt. If anythhing the song is just rantings on John's love of Louis Carrol which explains the refrences to "Through The Looking Glass"

All of this doesnt matter though.
The question was not "What song started a revolution"
I simply named an overrated song.
SLTS is overrated. The song is ****e.
Nirvana...and other grunge bands had better

EDIT: and boo boo....I will say that overtime I have come to respect your posts and the information they contain. 9 times out of 10 you are right. Lets not turn this into "BUNGALOWBILL IS A TROLL"
I am allowed to disagree

Grunge was a style and an attitude just like punk. The music was directed towards teenagers. Angst ridden, dealing with issues that youth face. Usually characterized by "dirty" guitar tones.

Quote:

Grunge music (sometimes also referred to as the Seattle Sound) is a genre of indie rock inspired by hardcore punk, thrash metal, and alternative rock. It became commercially successful in the late 1980s and early 1990s, peaking in mainstream popularity between 1991 and 1994. Bands from cities in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, such as Seattle, Washington, Olympia, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, created grunge and later made it popular with mainstream audiences. The genre is closely associated with Generation X in the US, since it was popularized in tandem with the rise in popularity of the generation's name.[1] The popularity of grunge was one of the earliest phenomena that distinguished the popular music of the 1990s from that of the 1980s.

I like how most of the posts after my original one were done with at least half (but probably full) spite toward me as if I said my comment to be inflammatory.

To Hookers, the only intelligent responce I've seen to it thus far Ill say this, to be he seemed to be a sub-par beatles. I just don't think any of his songs are very good, the come off as 70's sunny and avant garde but they were things that just didn't hold up. I don't like Mott the Hooples "all the young dudes" and I think he was a supbar beatles. I confess that I don't know everything, but I ask why would I when the "best " songs are painful to geth through.

Space Oddity could have been a beatles song without question, thats a Macca rip off to me. Im sorry I just don't like him.

The songs lack of coherence was intentional, Lennon was mocking people who OVERANALIZE the meanings of songs, quite like what you are doing now...SLTS however, does have a meaning, and only the "a Mosquito, my Libido" lyrics have no real meaning, those were just filler lyrics to make the song click, which is the kinda thing Lennon and Maccartney did, but when they do it, its ok, yet when Cobain does it, its just bad, give me a break.

Sigh, I got to page 4 and decided I should lock three of you in a room and light the house on fire.

The thread was Overrated Songs. The criteria are as follows:

A song must be highly regarded.

It must not want such regard

Must be touted by people without a clue

PLastered all over radio.

I didn't need the extra horse****. I think people should be forced to read the ****ing topic before they post.

There are other Nirvana songs that are BETTER
That is all
Like Big3 said
SLTS is touted
SLTS is overplayed
SLTS overshadows

That is all

Wikipedia?... Give me a break, you call that a credible enough source?...Anyone can edit their articles at any given time, for all we know, you could have wrote that...THRASH METAL?...HARDCORE PUNK?...Name me one Pearl Jam song that you would describe as hardcore punk influenced, let alone thrash metal influenced...Theres thrash metal influence in Nirvanas music?... Give me a break...THE BANDS HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON...Except for the long hair, flannel shirts and being from seattle, and thats what really defines the music isnt it?

Nirvana is mostly punk influenced, with some metal and alternative rock influences, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains have little to no punk influences at all, and they are mostly metal influenced...As for Pearl Jam, theres nothing metal about them, only some punk influences, they are strictly alternative rock and hard rock influenced...Then there are these guys.

The Melvins
Green River
Temple of the Dog
Tad
Mudhoney
Mother Love Bone
Screaming Trees
L7

These bands have little to nothing in common except for being in the right place at the right time.

Cool your F*cking jets its not like we went totally off topic and started dicussing anal sex we dicussed if that song was really overated its a forum if every post was on topic no one would stay here everyone would leave it would be boring and not a community. We wouldn't know eachother because we wouldn't be aloud to argue we'd just know. He likes *this this this this* dislikes *this this this this* not what makes this person tick,etc...
