People seem to forget that Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains were right there with them making a huge impact on the modern hard rock scene. And oh yeah, all three of those bands material crushes Nirvana's stuff. I'm know there's more but those two have topped my list for many years now. I'd add Smashing Pumpkins along with those "better than Nirvana" bands. Nevermind is just decent no more or less. In Utero is way better for it's raw sound.   Besides, The Pixies did what Nirvana did before and were better at it. Nirvana did not do the same thing as the Pixies. The Pixies are so far from grunge, I don't see how you could put those two bands in the same class?   You are right about one thing though. The Pixies are superior to Nirvana in so many different facets. I love the Pixies.   I got board with Nirvana in no time.

I think they were the best of the grunge bands. Sweet Oblivion is a really good CD.

No Black Sabbath No Deep Purple No Heavy Metal and those are the facts jack.............

And add no Led Zeppelin II, no metal. But Sabbath are the Godfathers and basically invented an entire genre' depite what a few misinformed folks think/say.

 

I saw an interview with Rob Zombie one time he said that "basically, everyone in metal is just doing Sabbath. Some of us speed it up, some of us slow it down but it's all really Sabbath. We're just lucky Tony, Geezer, Ozzy and Bill don't sue us all for plagerism."

To me, they were a Blues Rock band with some Hard Rock overtones.

As far as bands go, Sex Pistols are quite overrated for me musically. Clash, Ramones and Rotten's Public Image Ltd. were way better. Edited March 29, 2012 by invisible airwave

The Sex Pistols get notoriety not because of their talent but because of their rebellious attitude. The Ramones and the Clash were almost docile compared to the Sex Pistols.

 

John Lydon's (AKA Johnny Rotten) band Public Image Limited is much better musically than the Sex Pistols.

It pains me to say this, but I think The Who are hyped up way too much. They had, IMO, 2 great albums, Whos Next and Quadrephenia...I think Tommy is overrated..good , but not great. I get their historical significance , but I just don't think their actual output justifies all the praise.

Don't forget about their impact and power at their peak as a live band. Also, a lot of their greatness lies in their early singles and they started at a time when singles were just as important as albums. Plus they 4 great albums by my count: Who's Next, Tommy, Live At Leeds and the 60s hits compilation Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy (I'm tempted to add Odds & Sods as well). Taking all this into consideration, yes they deserve it.

QUOTE (Archangel717 @ Mar 28 2012, 09:47 AM) Black Sabbath Definately not as good as everyone makes them out to be. Wrong.   They INVENTED Heavy Metal as we know it. You would be hard pressed to find a metal band who doesn't give props to Sabbath. While I definitely don't feel that Sabbath are overrated in any sense, I don't think they or any one band should get the credit for inventing a genre of music. Things just don't happen that way but evolve slowly, gradually over time. Even the darker occult subject matter and image wasn't completely unique to Sabbath at the time. If they were the first HM band though they're still the best (which doesn't reflect well on the genre as a whole).

Also, Ozzy bugs the hell out of me.   Listen to the music that was out back in 1970, and then listen to what Black Sabbath was doing. They blazed a path that so many musicians have gone down. Very few bands have done as much as Black Sabbath has to shape where Rock & Roll is today.   I suppose next you're going to tell us that Elvis was overrated. This goes back to the point I raised in the previous overrated thread in that younger listeners don't make the effort to understand and appreciate what the music was like or indeed what the world was like back then and people's general attitudes, etc. Rock music itself had a history of only a scant 15 years or so when the first Sabbath album came out. People simply had never heard music quite like that before and it actually scared some people.

As I said, there are some bands I like but still think are overrated. As far as the Ramones go, they may have invented or at least contributed greatly to punk rock but their music is still rather bland. I only think they're slightly overrated because of that point. And as for the Rolling Stones, they're extremely overrated because no band that makes such boring music deserves to be so popular. I really don't see them as having created anything unique or innovative like The Beatles or Black Sabbath.

I'm done trying to make arguments. When Dylan, LZ, The Who, etc. show up on lists of the overrated, it's obvious that this is only a "here are bands I dislike" list.   Have a nice day... Yeah...too many people don't understand the difference between thinking that a band if over rated and just not caring for a band's music.   The Ramones practically invented punk rock, and got little acclaim for it in the mainstream. They are one of the last bands to deserve to be on any list. It's almost as absurd to call them overrated ss it is to include Black Sabbath.   And the Stones? Please...what other band has stayed on top from the 1960s - 1990s. That's four freakin decades! The Clash were a superior band to the Ramones in every way, including the development of Punk..the Ramones were cartoonish.
