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.

They get my vote anyway

Why are people so concerned with how certain sounds are made, or who composed them, or what the artist's intentions are for recording them? Hate Justin Bieber's music because it sounds bad to you, not because he's "manufactured" or "doesn't write his own songs". Who cares? The Beatles were manufactured, Frank Sinatra didn't write his own songs, Brian Eno uses autotune and most everyone you listen to is largely in it for the money.

I didn't say a word about how I felt about his music. I was just listing the facts.

But on that note...I'm not a fan. Again, mostly because his music has been shoved down my throat since I was born (being from Memphis and all).

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.

Who cares if he didn't write them, not many artists did then. And if people hadn't ripped off black artists there wouldn't be any rock music anyway. It's not like he's the only one guilty of it.

When you strip it down to the bare essentials the body of work he did for Sun Records was amazing. And that's all I really care about when I put on an album.

I totally agree with you.

The story seem to suddenly end in the beginning of your post when you didn't tell us if they are under-rated or over-rated.
