ronniethebear Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I'm just going to give my opinion, off the top of my head. And by overrated, I mean that the talent (or lack thereof) isn't consistent with the hype/exposure the band gets. Here goes: The White Stripes Say Anything Alkaline Trio Pelican Against Me! Taking Back Sunday Avenged Sevenfold Atreyu Silversun Pickups I'm sure I'll add more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniethebear Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 He can play guitar, I'll give him that. But come on, dude can't sing for shit. The Raconteurs are a way better band, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotnerd Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 yeah, i like the raconteurs more than the stripes, but i think white is a fantastic guitar player and songwriter, singing skills aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicyclepirate Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 pretty much all those other false metalcore and pop punk bands Fully backed. What qualifies a band as "false"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Fully backed. What qualifies a band as "false"? to most people it seems to be "being popular on a mainstream level" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Fully backed. What qualifies a band as "false"? I think there are a lot of bands that are being heavy for heaviness sake, that don't have any real passion anger rage etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 What qualifies a band as "false"? to most people it seems to be "being popular on a mainstream level" Not to me. I mean, that would be like saying the Foo Fighters suck. And we all know that ain't the case. "False" to me means fashionable posturing simply for the sake of it, or having little or no integrity or originality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimonsarfunkel Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I think saying a band is overrated is different than saying they suck. I'd say the Foo Fighters are overrated. I'd say the same thing for Nirvana and Kurt Cobain in general. But that in no way implies they aren't talented musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 definitely agree w/ the white stripes. and the raconteurs for that matter but id go as far as to say i cant stand either so i guess im impartial. whoever said to turn on the radio and take your pick--hate to come off like a total music snob but i pretty much agree 100% i hate the radio.

cadetapplesauce Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i love the Foo Fighters. but One By One never should've won a grammy. there were like 3 or 4 good songs on there (at best). bad, bad album (even admitted by Grohl himself). In Your Honor was alright. they're one hell of a live band, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotnerd Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 while the foo fighters has put out an even amount of total crap and good music... i think the fact that they released the color and the shape absolves them from ever being classified as "overrated". that's just like, my opinion, man.

jacobe Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The people I've met that say Nirvana is overrated are usually under the age of 23 or so, which is nothing about age vs. taste as much as impact upon people that were really into or just getting into music outside of the late 80's cock rock and early 90's pop.

cadetapplesauce Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 ^^dude i totally see your point. i loved the Foo's There Is Nothing Left To Lose. maybe one of the more looked down upon FF albums, but it's my favorite. it's so laid back and chill, as opposed to the Foo Fighters that were divorcing and angry during the Colour and the Shape. still an incredibly fucking exceptional album, though. it's their best, simply for having a song like "Doll" opening it up (even though TINLTL is my favorite).
