the amount of desperation in her voice when she sings the line ''cause you see i'm on losing streak" is crushing. so much more powerful than Mick's take.
Pearl Jam. Ten was awesome! They totally sucked afrowords.
These threads make for better trolling than an in-line spinner. I find myself disagreeing wth most everybody and just on the verge of typing a 2-page response before catching myself.
Gosh... I have so many more than five so I'll add in just a few more before I get too annoying.
1. Nickleback. Somebody give the Canadian Jesus a throat lozenge
2. Greenday. Used to be real punk... now they're over commercialized and lame. I heard that they even have another band to play their songs at concerts. And while I'm at it, I'll add any punk band that's played on the radio here. Punk is underground, that's the essence of it, get a clue Good Charlotte, Blink 182, AFI, etc.
3. Metallica. After the black album they became a bunch of whiny bitches. They also keep trying to reinvent themselves to keep riding the wave of 80's power metal that ended in the 80's.
4. Any pop group such as Britney Spears, NSync, Backstreet boys, 98 degrees... It's all crap
5. Most new country bands, apparently all a guy needs for a country song nowadays is a big truck, a sexy tractor, a barbaque stain on a white t-shirt, and a cowboy hat. Where's the good ol' Hank Williams "My bucket's got a hole in it?"
6. Dave Matthews for sure. He totally capitalized on Jam bands and made it cool for rich people to have their own jam band crap to listen to instead of listening to the good stuff like Phish, String Cheese, Grateful Dead. The only reason why guys listen to this whitebread crap is because their girlfriends listen to it.The only reason why guys go to Dave Matthews concerts is so they can get high and fu*k their girlfriends. I know cuz I've done it.
ok, so for some underrated bands.
1. Dredg
2. Taproot
3. Primus
4. First Blood- people need to find this stuff, super good hardcore
5. Oh yeah, and Iron Maiden

This applies to music too:I'm a dumbass
NIN/Trent Reznor, Tool, Coldplay.
Edit: Throw Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst on that steaming pile.
Can we limit this to bands that people already think are good? People posting pop-punk and Britney Spears...we already know they suck. Move on.

Yeah, saying Britney Spears over and over again is dumb. Its a given had she not been hot and been annointed by the record companies that she would be dancing around a pole in Louisiana somewhere.
Like the man says, move it along...
And Kookkeg, thats the point. Here on the internet, every has an opinion. Whatchugot?
Blue, I used to work in a shop where the owner worshipped NIN. At the time I was in my classic rock stage, and couldnt stand them. Still cant, btw, but then it was even worse. Ugggghhhh...shudder...

Yeah. But the whole conversation is retarded. Especially about subjective crap like music.JohnE said:
Where is DHGirlie and her RRICA when you need it?
Agreed on Oberst. I just don't see the draw. People will argue that he is this generations Dylan. I just can't agree. Oh well, I atleast still enjoy the fact that their are more artist out there that can do it for people like that.blue said:
I saw them/him live last week. Amazing. (Also should note I'm not a fanboy. I only knew three or four songs.)blue said:
You want an overrated band? The Red Hot Chili Peppers. What a ****ing abortion...
dave mathews band by far.

On Oberst...I'm not saying he sucks, but he's not Jesus like some of the hipsters have made him out to be. He's got a few good songs, but, like you said, not an idol. Same goes for Coldplay. They're both rather dull and repetetive.
Skared, of course its subjective. Do you expect all of us to come to a conclusion? I can see it now, RM stickers of approval on CDs! If you dont like it, and have nothing to say regarding the topic, roll on.SkaredShtles said:
RRICA?
So it's mental masturbation?JohnE said:
Ok. 
Do a search, yah n00B!

this is pretty damn funny, btw. john wurster is also known as the drummer for Superchunk.
I agree with Oasis. Most pop music. and the Beatles.
Hmm...
Creed: Hearing that band makes my teeth grind...
311: ditto.
Any band that had Dimebag Darrell in it: I got dragged to a Skid Row concert back in the early 90's and they were the opening band... I fell asleep... litterally.

OK, OK...The Toninator said:
Ian, please tell me that you do not consider Pantera overrated or sleep-inducing. I could chainsmoke 10 blunts and still be amped when the opening riffs for "Hostile" or "Respect" came through the PA!Ian F said:
Sorry bro... I only keep Pantera CD's around for the occasional cases of insomnia...llkoolkeg said:
I totally forgot the name of the band... like I posted earlier... I've been on a classical kick for awhile now... heavy guitar music just isn't doing anything for me anymore... and I cut my teeth playing that stuff...
Might I suggest some Andres Segovia, Jose Feliciano or Julian Bream, then?Ian F said:Sorry bro... I only keep Pantera CD's around for the occasional cases of insomnia...

The premise of this discussion is flawed.
Individual taste in music changes with time. A lot of music seems lame until you come to understand it. Some music that you like eventually seems stale.
It's inane to write off anything as overrated or underrated in the larger scale. Listen to what you enjoy, and keep an open mind - you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.
(Listening at the moment to Beatles, and not to Dr. Dre...)

I'd like to add Stained or however they spell it to the list - Way overrated.
Nickleback - why the hell do radio stations play them so much.
Hell most of the stuff that gets played on Greater Hartford Radio Stations is overrated.

This probably goes without saying, but country music in general is overrated. Just thought I would throw that out there.
