Most overrated bands ever?

Just curious, what are the other three words?? :-)

lucifer_sam · 01-02-2009, 10:37 PM

inventive
groundbreaking
neo-folk

awww, I thought you were going to use words like "good", "engaging" or "listenable"...hehehehehe

But I guess those are indeed appropriate and relevant words to , um, not use about In Utero...

I guess my choice of "experimental" was not quite the best one to describe the album, in hindsight...

Experimental isnt a word i'd use either. However, the difference between In Utero and Nevermind is in the production and lyrics. Whereas Nevermind had a very polished, wholesome production style In Utero sounded intentionally abrasive and distorted, its a dirtier sounding album whilst Cobains lyrics give it a darker, deeper feel.

Radiohead can never match up to the praise heaped on them on here by their many insuffereable fanboys.

Thats really daft.

This is a thread where people can state who they find overrated, if he finds Radiohead overrated, he has a right to say it... no matter how much you or i disagree. You should try out my method in dealing with the haters, just dont reply to it

I didn't say that, did i me laddo? I don't have particularly strong feelings on Radiohead either way(although i like The Bends quite alot), my point simply was that going by the standards of this forum Radiohead would be classed as overrated.

The Rolling Stones, hands down.
