Good if they were influential, but all the bands who came later an were "influenced" were better than them. You've made a wholly subjective (and fatuous) reply to my stated fact, what was the point of that? All the bands who came after The Beatles were superior to them. Theres no point really, the Beattles just suck. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they suck...Now, the Doors, they are amazingly overrated, I mean, the Lizard King? WTF?

The Beatles are my favorite band. With that said, I totally understand why they are not everyone's favorite band. There's a lot of good music out there. But to say they suck, well, did you really listen to the songs. There are so many good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, a thread like this is pointless when what it really is, is just, bands you don't personally like. A band who has a had a greater influence on rock music then any other can't really be overrated. Now whether you like them or not is another story. Popular bands I can't stand would include... Def Leppard Bon Jovi The Grateful Dead To me their overrated because I don't like them at all and they are very popular so for me..... Overrated. It really all is in the eye of the beholder and thus holds no real merit. Edited March 18, 2011 by tick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shail Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The Rolling Stones. Please. This group is some average garage band. Way to much hype about this band through the decades. They have huge stages with millions of lights for lame classic rock tunes. Some of the stuff is very good but it's just... meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Sometimes I prefer underrated and under-the-radar. Lots of bands get ruined when the pop scene picks up on them. It becomes all about pleasing the masses and keeping the gravy train rolling and the contracts renewed. REM comes to mind. They were a hell of a lot better when they were Mitch Easter's little indie band on IRS records. Then they got the big contract, Stipe cleared his throat prior to going into the studio, and they started to suck like an Electrolux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT is probably my favorite band. However, they are not the "be-all, end-all" of music. Plus, I certainly appreciate a lot of other bands from many different genres. They, just tend to have very passionate fan(atic)s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone on this board will argue with you about Nickleback. Pearl Jam is another of those bands I never really "got" either. Another one of those grunge bands that just happened to last. Has anyone mentioned The Dave Matthews Band yet? Can't stand 'em, and from what I can tell, they have one slow song, one fast song, and several variations of the two to make up a catalogue of music.

I don't mind the grunge genre at all save for the angsty teenager "boo hoo I'm so sad" lyrics. Pearl Jam never really faded away though. I agree with the Dave Matthews Band. My dad is so into them that I just go nuts when he starts playing any of their music. Some things are better left unsaid (in this case, unplayed).

Peter Gabriel had a great response to what makes a good song/music: "One that makes you think, one that makes you feel, and also makes you move as well." I love that quote.

rummut71 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 If this thread goes on long enough, every band that ever took up instruments will be listed by the folks who participate in it... That being said, I must repoint out for those that have not been arsed to read the whole thing and just jumped in: Listen to White Stripes. Jam knitting needles in your ear so you will never risk hearing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
