Aw, c'mon, you're shooting fish in a barrel.

Give us some controversy!

Post some bands you find overrated. This is a colaborative list. smile.gif

I thought the title of this thread said BANDS, not music personalities or individual performers?

I think the word 'band' was referring to 'artist'.

 

 

My feelings can be summed up in two words.

 

The. Who.

Ask the members of the band this forum is named after, I guarantee you they'd dispute that claim. Moon and Entwistle alone were two of the most influential and innovative players on their respective instruments.

I agree with both of you! I don't think The Who was as innovative as their reputation suggests, but, at the same time, I think they are one of the greatest bands ever.

CCR

I like a song or two, but I don't think they're as amazing as people say they are

The great Creedence Clearwater Revival is underrated! Song after song, album after album, it's great rock and roll - almost all of it.

Where I live, it's kind of overrated. All of my friends love classic rock, and they all love CCR. laugh.gif

Aerosmith
Bon Jovi
U2

...to name a few!  wink.gif

I'll agree on U2. I love them, but they aren't nearly as good as everyone makes them out to be.

 

I swear, Bono is more popular then God. laugh.gif

Don't get me wrong...

 

All these artists have songs that I really like, but from an overall (catelog) perspective, they are overrated IMO.

Springsteen

U2

Rolling Stones (after 1980)

The Beatles (yeah, I said it)

Aerosmith

Ozzy (Black Sabbath gets a pass, but only barely)

 

And any Top 40 pop garbage that's around right now. I've tried to listen to that stuff on occasion but it's horrible. All of it. Katy Perry, Gaga, and all their clones... horrible.

Agreed.

 

CCR is definitely underrated.

Honestly, you can make that argument after Goats Head Soup until Some Girls, throw in Emotional Rescue, and then again after Tattoo You. But up until Goats Head Soup, and then for Some Girls and Tattoo You, I think they deserve all the praise they get.

and...

Nirvana

The Police (just barely)

Bruce Springsteen

U2

Bon Jovi

The Rolling Stones
