Most overrated bands ever?

sikoholickkouboi · 07-30-2005, 06:34 PM

KISS. This guy at a local used record/music trading store was talking about how Marilyn Manson is more entertainer than musician when I bought an old import. I said I didn't really care. Half the artists I like are a lot about image, but if I don't like the music, I wouldn't listen. I laughed when I heard this guy liked KISS??!! They weren't more image than anything. At least Manson's **** could pump me up, unlike all that pussy ballad pop-rock **** from KISS. If they dressed like they sounded, they'd look like Bryan Adams. Not that I don't like a lot ofmellow music, too, but, jes statin my opinion.

I reckon the Beatles were heros back when they pioneered a lot of variations in the music universe but times have changed. It's no fault of the Beatles but since things have evolved if i had to pick modern bands or bands that are "slightly old" (led zep etc) or the Beatles I know what I would rather listen to. (..the modern stuff)

But given the the position the beatles came from and their time, in no way are they overated. Everything needs a foundation on which things can improve. People always look at the beautiful structure not thinking about the fact that it wouldnt be there without the foundation. Take nothing from the fab four.

Well, I may be a "Noob" . . . but I'd like my first post to be one complaining about bands.

I qoute the above because they are the 2 best Metallica songs written, poosibly "Fight fire with Fire" in there too.

But onto the topic at hand, over-rated bands.

Let me see . . . . .

Green Day for one, sold out basically after "Dookie", which really sucks because it was a great album.

Good Charlotte. {No Further commenbt required}

Simple Plan. Ugh. Sad, sad, sad. With the relative success of their debut album,. they proceeded to bring out what everyone seems to think is a great album, but sucks. Alot.

Franz Ferdinand - Good, but not as good as everyone makes them out to be.

And I could go on for a long long time, but I wont.

Hope I didn't anger anybody

P.S: Linkin Park. . . . Ewww.
