Most Underrated/Overrated Artists

Screen13 · 08-28-2012, 09:58 AM

Here's my list for now...subject to change.

Under-Rated: Sean Bonniwell, Micheal Nesmith, Goblin

Over-Rated: Nickelback (Mostly knowm for somgs that sound like Power Ballads put through a Meat Grinder sung by someone puking in the bathroom), Greatful Dead, Skrillex

EDIT: Went back to the first page and found the words "that you listen to"...well, then, I will have to revise my Over-Rated list as I don't listen to those three regularly, but I do feel that they are seriously over-rated judging from the songs I heard so far.

Because then this wouldn't be a discussion or a forum.

Interesting fact: I've never listened to a Grateful Dead record.

I understand that, but it's the same point. Once you make the one point, what else is there to add?

Well, lots of things. Once the one point is made, there could be many other points to make one's opinion stronger. Doesn't necessarily make their opinion right or wrong.

What Goofle's saying is that on the subject of whether or not Thom Yorke can sing, one person saying he can and one person saying he can't back and forth isn't automatically going to make one of those standpoints true as it's subjective.

If I said he was good more than someone said he's bad then that doesn't make me correct and vice versa. So, now you've aired your grievances about a subjective matter you can move on.

On the topic of The Beatles that was mentioned earlier in the thread. I feel like that's one of those bands that is overrated but rightfully so. Could just be my opinion though, but I found a lot of satisfaction from listening to The Beatles for the first time even when I knew how much hype they created.

I was trying to expand on my issues with Thom Yorke's voice. Thus bringing us his lack of eloquence.

Maybe you didn't read the thread properly because that wasn't what happened.
From what I saw someone expressed surprise that somebody could think in such a way and people gave reasons as to why they did. Nothing wrong with that.

On the topic of the Beatles, I think they've got some mind-blowingly good work, but on every single album it's mixed in with dopey worthless crap. I don't think they have a consistently great album, so I would agree that they are both overrated, but deserving.
