The problem with critics is they always have their own favourites just like everybody else, that's why awards shouldn't just be taken at face value.

I also find Stevie Wonder a bit patchy, Song in the Key of Life is the most consistent for me. And I'd say Thriller is easily Michael Jackson't best. Overall Stevie Wonder's creative period perhaps...

There can be quite a few cover versions of some songs though, and not all of them are inappropriate or just trying to make a quick buck by over-copying the original. Cover versions can be creative...

I know singing other people's songs hasn't completely gone away, that's why we are discussing it. What I mean is that it became more looked down upon by people (though not by everyone obviously).

If people have an honest knowledgable opinion then I have no problem with that. People do throw the 'hipster' insult around aimlessly making it meaningless, sometimes just to criticise people who...

It depends how you judge it I suppose. Most people go by what rock critics say even though I think their judgement can be just as influenced by what is thought to be hip as popular opinion can be. ...

But Bob Marley is 'rock'? And yet he can just be fashion too. Exactly how you define what is rock and what is pop is far from easy anyway. But really you could just as easily argue that most of...

They wrote more than 2 good songs I expect, but they are overrated for sure. Again, it's because of the image and social impact or influence people saw them as having. They rode on the wave of the...

Influence is overrated, I listen to music on whether I think it is good or not and not on whether people think it is influential (that's for music historians not listeners). On actual musical...

Icons by their very nature tend to be overrated musically as people rate them not just on music but image and social impact.



I agree on this though. Just like songwiters can be great artists...

I actually found that page because I was looking up to see who else thought Let England Shake was overrated. I'm not really much of a fan of her anyway, but even some of those who have been seem to...

Modern Japanese pop as you'd hear in their charts is very overrated by some, probably because of their obsession with idols or anime music. Much of that mainstream music is just as bad as it is in...

Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada are way overrated, probably because not many have heard electronica before the 90s. They are pretty much middle of the road stuff for the 90s anyway and not that...

I think Love has become more famous over the last two decades even if previous to that they hadn't been given enough praise. I'm glad that they managed to get more recognition while the main band...

The Moody Blues are definitely underrated, they did some great songs and had several good songwriters who brought some variety to their music too.

I base my opinion on far more than just one song. I don't dismiss any future recordings of an artist just because I didn't like what they did before. See the Sufjan Stevens example in my last post....

Tallest Man on Earth seems quite popular on some places I have been. I don't know if it is popular here or not.

In your opinion those others aren't overrated, I obviously disagree.
