:rofl:

I think Peter Frampton's "Comes Alive" era band qualifies. Dude wrote a few decent pop tunes (after a stellar guitar stint in Humble Pie), and backed them with a generic vanilla band that went so low as to use electric piano............ :finger:

The album was compiled from 4 different shows and most of the crowd response was embellished, and tacked on after the fact. (see: Alive by Kiss)

More ****ty and overrated bands
 

Hole are a crappy overrated band. Just because Courtney Love married kurt Cobain suddenly people started to give a **** about her lousy band. The reviews on their 1994 album Live Through This sum that up pretty well. Courtney Love rode the wave of fame that she was lucky enough to get. She milked every drop of fame that was left from being associated with Kurt Cobain well after he died. The fact that she became an A list actor in the mid to late 90's sums up the ridiculousness of the time period. Would that ever happen again these days..... **** no. With ****ty hits like Malibu and Celebrity Skin Hole managed to achieve modest success but by the end of the 90's just like with Courtney Love's acting career faded away. The albums that are considered Hole's best work are even rumored to not be written by them. It's rumored that Kurt Cobain wrote the material for Live Through This and Love even admitted that Billy Corgan wrote Celebrity Skin. Other factors in Hole sucking are Courtney Love's ****ty vocals. She sounds like ****en Nelson Munts.

Kings of leon. Kings of leon started in 1999. They became really famous and successfull in 2008 with the album Only by the Night and the hits Sex on Fire and Use Somebody. I remember actually liking Sex on Fire but getting sick of it really quickly. Then after that Use Somebody came out. I didn't like that song much. They overplayed that ****en song so much on the radio and on tv. All this hype about the band led to people considering Kings of Leon the most popular new rock band in the world. In 2010 they released Come around Sundown which everybody thought would be such a great album considering how good Only by the Night was(not really). I heard the album and there were no hit singles. They released a single called Pyro which wasn't very good and the only track I could tell that was even a bit interesting was called The End. The album was a disappointment but it showed what became obvious which was the bands career was built on hype that they could never live up to. They only had 2 songs that people gave a **** about and those weren't even that good. Eventually the band just faded away from popularity like all fads do.

To be continued. Lots more bands will be mentioned in future posts.

So, which bands do you like?

My favourite bands would be Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Megadeth, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Vines, Sepultura and there's more but those are my main favorites. I know you're thinking that all I wanna do is talk about how **** bands are that I'm making it out that all bands suck but that's not the case at all. I'm just giving my opinions on some overrated bands that are considered geniuses when all they are fueled by is hype and bull****.

I'm pretty old school with my tastes but I don't care because that's my favorite period for music.

I'm also a fan of R.E.M and Pantera. I know my tastes are pretty old school. But to me rock started dying in the 2000's and now has become what we see today. The 80's and 90's were the golden age of rock.I wish I were around in those days to experience it live. I also Like The Doors and Jimi Hendrix those are my two favourite 60's rock acts.

Some more bands that I like are The Cranberries, Tonic, Urge Overkill, The Pixies. I even like pop solo artists Like Bryan Adams and Richard Marx. The Brian Jonestown Massacre or ok, I only like their album called Give It Back. The Dandy Warhols suck but I like their hit Bohemian Like You.

Funny how Nick1976 would have said that rock died straight after the 80's ended :laughing:

I think there's still some good rock acts, they just tend to be pretty obscure. Christian Mistress, Jess and the Ancient Ones, Royal Thunder and other bands that got started well into the 2000's - I think they're really damn good. Especially Christian Mistress, who are one of my favorite rock bands.

Holy ****. Those are some of the blandest, most overrated acts ever.
I don't see how they are in any way different from the boring bands you rightfully **** on in this thread.
