which Bands to you consider to be very over-rated?
Here are mine:
ACDC - Made the same album 16 different times, just changed a few lyrics. Musicians are not creative, are not clean, lyrics are weak. They are a long term more successful version of Nickelback. Man its a shame how this Ozzie band can sell so many albums, get so much legitimacy, win awards etc. while a truly good band such as Midnight Oil go virtually unknown. Haha well at least it is the Wiggles and not ACDC that are the highest earning entertainers to come out of Oz.
Rage against the Machine.
ok ok I will give them props lyrically. But as a sound its awful to listen to. One of the original rap metal bands so therefore they are one of the original bands to suck ass in potentially the worst genre of music and certainly of Rock to ever exist. This band gets so much props but musically I dont understand what for. Most of the instrumentals do not sound good except maybe in Killing in the Name of, their lead singer does not have a good rapping voice, but I will say they are fairly talented musicians. It just doesnt sound good.
Sublime
ok ok before you shoot me. I like Sublime actually. I think they are good I just dont think they are one of the top 10 bands ever like so many people seem to think. I actually find their fan base pretty annoying and somewhat ironic simply because Sublime is so freaking trendy amongst the un-trendy. Their fans (maybe that is who my beef is with but that is who makes them over-rated) are the type of people who dont listen to anything because it is mainstream, or only likes certain types of movies because they are not mainstream and are so conformist to a culture that is trying to be non-conformist (ok they are not as bad in this respect as Goths). I guess what annoys me about these people (and I am friends with quite a few people like this, but this part of their personality does annoy me and I challenge them on this all the time) is that something is bad simply because people like it. Everyone I know who is like this loves sublime which is why I call them the trendy band for the un-trendy. Most of these people will typically say that "what I got" is one of Sublimes worst songs, and in reality the only reason they say this is because it is known and people like it. I think they think it makes them better or cool to like what other people dont. Anyway, a lot of Sublimes "respect" has come from these types of people and this has spread so that they have become one of the more respected bands around. Like I said I like them, but IMOthey are not the great band of our time that nobody listens to because everybody listens to them, they just dont get much radio play so they are not "mainstream" in that sense, but everybody listens to them and they are an average band with some good songs, some not so good ones, one that you can listen to but nothing so creative that it blows me away. Santeria is my favourite song of theirs, its a wicked song, but lets be honest its simple and somewhat cliche.
Funny i wrote the most about the one band up there I actually do like.
