Most Underrated/Overrated Artists

Isbjørn · 10-10-2012, 10:01 AM

I think Green Day is overrated. Fine, they're good, but I hate it when teenagers are all like "I love punk, I listen to green day" when they haven't even heard about Blink-182. I think Blink-182 is kind of underrated. They're popular as hell, I know, but they don't make it into the top 10 list on Spotify, and they're drowning in Green Day's popularity when they're about just as good.

Trust me, there is much better punk music out there than Blink-182.

That might be true but Blink 182 is not a bad band. It is like most rock bands, pretty average. There are a few rock bands that really are special. Blink 182 is not the band I would say is special.

I did like their music a lot as a kid and I enjoyed hearing their songs.

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

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.
