jayeffscene Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 What bands/ albums do you think are completely overrated? I really wasn't too huge on the newest Loved Ones album. I left after a couple songs when I saw them live. I thought Keep your Heart was pretty good, though. I've also never really been able to get in to Mustard Plug.

I think Bad Religion is overrated by a lot of people, a lot of my friends like them but I think their music is pretty boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new album now, but when I saw them support NOFX late last year, they fucking sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kevinb Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think people get so pissed that gaslight is getting this big, and there just playing some fuckin punk music, nothing special its just in vein of all the classic shit, it dosent always have to be original and all studio glossed up(not that punk ever is either of those two.. you get what im sayin though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Morrissey. The Smiths too? Or just his solo stuff? I'm not a huge Smiths fan, but pretty much the only reason I don't like them is because Morrissey is the singer. I think the Smiths would have been pretty awesome without him.

It's not punk. And Springsteen is tolerable at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 To me, this thread is rather meaningless. If the question asked was "Name some bands that are overrated" rather than "What bands do you think are overrated" then perhaps it would be valid. As it stands, this thread would be better off being titled "Bands you don't like." I feel that some people do not grasp the concept of defining something as "overrated." For example, someone mentioned the Beatles. If you think the Beatles are overrated then you should turn in your ear drums and almost any record you've purchased that was released after 1960. Not only did the Beatles change the way music sounded, they also paved the way in terms of how it was recorded (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles%27_influence_on_music_recording). There are a few other bands mentioned here that have pushed the musical envelope by creating a genre or excelling one to knew heights. In that regards they can't really be "overrated" because they've actually done something notable. On the other hand (even though they're my favorite band), Weezer could be classified as overrated. Would music be any different if Weezer were never a band? Sure it would be slightly different, but the impact wouldn't be the same if Nirvana never existed.
