Who's Overrated?
 

Who are the 10 most overrated bands or artists of all time? Not the worst of all time, the worst of all time were never rated that good. For example, that canadian rapper Snow. No one ever cared about him. I want to see a list of artists that people actually liked or still do. They can still be good... but they are overrated.

My poll:
10. Yellowcard
09. Simple Plan
08. Staind... should've stuck to their roots like mudshovel
07. Backstreet Boys/ Backstreet Boys... let's face it they're the same
06. Nelly
05. Greenday... i love them, but they get way too much credit
04. Blink 182
03. Good Charlotte... a few good songs doesn't make you good
02. Puff Daddy... likes rapping to other people's songs... even Led Zep :yikes:
01. Elvis Presley!!!!!! WHY DO PEOPLE WORSHIP THIS MAN????

Elvis Presley!! :yikes: No way is that man overrated! Jeez compared to what the music scene was like around him at the time... Ah well, guess we're all different. Mine'd probably be..

Green Day
Franz Ferdinand
Coldplay

Cant think of anymore for the mo.. Thatll do for now.

And I just read that and now Im confused..

Whoever happens to have a 20 page spread on them in the NME this week

Ha, well played, I don't read NME but I've heard stories that they have a "next big thing" every issue.

omg yes! cannot stand Franz ferdinand.. but soo many ppl i know are like hell no they're good! :banghead:
Coldplay.. while not my personal taste i don't mind them sometimes, and i don't think they're really that overrated, Greenday.. yea definitely! I think some more overrated artists would be: Good charlotte, Chingy, The offspring, Jet, U2, The killers, Queen, Britney spears, No doubt, Metallica...

well thats my opinion, i'm sure i'm gonna have a few ppl disagreeing!

Of course they are , have you been living under a rock for the past 4 years?

ok..anyone agrees with me that THIS WHOLE SH*T WITH OVERRATED BANDS is overrated??? come on, wake up, people!! we don't care. at least i don't

I care, its just like stating any other opinion on music.. What would be the point in a music forum if we didnt post our opinions... aHA it makes sense.

I agree with yellowcard and simple plan but I never could get into them anyway. Everyone loves greenday, and they're good at what they do...they're clearly doing it for the money so when they get the paycheck they're good at what they're trying to do.

"07. Backstreet Boys/ Backstreet Boys... let's face it they're the same" Surely they ARE the same band??? (confused)

Nelly, puff daddy, blink good charlotte - what can I say? They're rubbish

Elvis Presley is the king...

Elvis is the biggest thief of American black music....after Jimmy Page and Eminem of course.

this is urprisingly difficult, a couple of bands i find overrated are embrace, oasis (despite the fact im a fan) and the strokes (again, despite the fact im a fan).

Saying people saying bands are overrated is overrated is overrated

and saying saying peoples saying....i wont.

In no way are The Offspring overrated...they actually have talent to back up there popularity.

Just correcting your post :)

I actually attempted to delete that post anyway so..... yeah ....

People still like the Offspring? Wait a minute, the Offspring are still putting out music?

Did they ever?

believe it or not, they actually did

Must have missed that 5 minutes

wow it's good to hear I'm not the only one who realizes how overrated coldplay are.

yeah, you were probably too busy thinking about what witty thing you should say next...

Does anyone realize how overrated Nirvana is? I still like them but I think that they are way overrated. Especially their album Nevermind, which is perhaps the most overrated album of all time.

no, it is not the most overrated album of all time...
you must have forgotten about U2 and co

For music banter's age demographic, I'd say that it is one of the more overrated, especially considering that it is not even Nirvana's best work. In general, ^U2 and the word 'overrated' go hand-in-hand. I also have to add that the Unplugged Cd is also quite overrated, considering that if you take away the Meat Puppets and David Bowie covers, you're left with a mediocre acoustic album. Not enough people talk about Bleach and Incesticide, those were the "good" ones, at least in respect to the entire discography.

I can say that Nivana was never overrated, at the time, they were, but the albums are classic now and if you grew up in the nirvana phase.....you kinda just love them through and through....
one of their albums that were underratted was Insecticide however...but that's just my opinion...

For very good reason

It was a collection of awful B sides that sounded like they were made up on the spot

i seem to be a fan of irony tonight, but the way i see it, if anything nirvana are underrated now. a lot of people seem to jump on the "criticize and belittle nirvana" bandwagon. but really, just look at what they did in the big picture. they brought an entire genre to the masses.

So did Motley Crue , , but the genre they bought to the masses ain`t fashionable at the moment.

furthermore, nirvana literally changed the sound of rock music for the next 5 or so years with one bloody song and an album to bolster its appeal. whatever you say about it you cannot doubt neverminds impact. im not the biggest motley crue fan, nor do i know much about them, but im pretty sure they never produced anything near as good as nevermind or bleach for that matter.

Glam rock was the biggest selling Rock of the 80s

Motley Crue were the first Glam rock band to get any exposure. They also sold albums by the millions. You say Nirvana changed rock , so did Motley Crue a decade earlier. Before they came along the american music scene was full of soft rock & 70s has beans.Motley Crue paved the way for the likes of Poison ,Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi , Ratt & probably helped revive the careers of Aerosmith & Alice Cooper in the process.All million selling artists in the 80s , Motley Crue`s success in that decade pre dates all of them.

Just because you don`t like a genre of music doesn`t mean you can`t give credit.

It doesn`t matter if Nirvana`s albums were better or not thats subjective

I'm going to go out on a limb and say The Beatles. Not because they're bad, they're not, they're very good. and not because I underestimate the influence they've had on contemporary pop/rock music. I don't. I just find them quite boring, especially compared to reverence and mania with which most people approach their music. I also think the Rolling Stones are very UNDERRATED as far as their influence on today's music is concerned. They don't get enough credit. I'd rather listen to a good Stonrs album than the Beatles any day.

Yeah... "Stonrs" Is there any way to pronounce the letters "nrs"?

Yeah... That would be "STONE....RRRRRRRS". Give me a f**kin' break. the E is right next to the R. I'm gonna' search your posts and bring up some of your insignifigant typos !!! :whythis:

how very petty of you.

wow, i couldn't agree with you more. Plus they toured with Ozzy, i can't think of anything better! (Back when he could speak that is) Snorting a line of ants and drinking piss, aaaaah those were the days

More importantly, who the hell are you?

Someone who goes around correcting typos,spelling mistakes & basically acting like someones English teacher.

I`ll bet money he`s a student.

im a student. what up with students?
