Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Wow - good call! They are the poster child for over-rated! Respectfully disagree.
CosmicBills Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I very much agree with the people that said John Mayer. He's the Dane Cook of music. Two birds, one joke. Love it.
Pete Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 The Who. They have a couple great tunes- but I find most of their stuff awful. They were prolific with mediocre at best albums IMO
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Throw in Bob Seger. Anyone who complains about being a rock star is a piece of guano, in my book.
Peace Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Throw in Bob Seger. Anyone who complains about being a rock star is a piece of guano, in my book. The king of the power ballad.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 The king of the power ballad. Whiny heap of steaming turd, Bob Seger is.
truth on hold Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 The Who. They have a couple great tunes- but I find most of their stuff awful. They were prolific with mediocre at best albums IMO I had similar thoughts about them for a while. But recently gave them another look and now I think they're deserving of their status. You have to put it in context of what the music scene was like during their most prolific periods. Some of their lesser known trackes like "The Seeker" just flat out kick butt like no one else ... whats cool is the louder you play them, the better they sound. Enjoy! The Who "The Seeker"
Rico Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Pretty much worthless without Neil.
bbb Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Bob Seger - the king of the power ballad? Are you kidding me?!? He's got great ballads (Night Moves actually changed my life, Beautiful Loser, etc.), and he's got great straight ahead rock songs. Rock and Roll never Forgets, Katmandu, Get outta Denver, etc. How can The Who have only a few good songs? Every single song on Quadrophenia (a double album) and Who's Next is incredible. No filler on either album. Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Pretty much worthless without Neil. I think Suite: Judy Blue Eyes is one of the best songs ever written.

Just Jack Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 For me to consider someone overrated, they have to meet two criteria.... 1) Their concerts are considered a "must see" by a majority of people, not fans, just people in general 2) If their songs come on the radio, I immediately turn to a different channel So, based on that, here's my list... Aerosmith Rolling Stones Genesis/Phil Collins Eric Clapton Billy Joel
justnzane Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I very much agree with the people that said John Mayer. He's the Dane Cook of music. Honestly, I love his jazz stuff that you'll never hear on radio. Part of the problem is that the radio stations overkill so many bands as opposed to putting on a variety of bands from major and independent labels. Classic stations tend to rely on some hits on a daily basis while other songs just sit on their media library waiting to be played. Frankly the radio industry has faltered due to the lack of variety as a large enough portion of their base has either downloaded a mixed together what they want to hear, they frequent websites like Pandora, and/or they pay for stations that give much more variety on Sirius/XM I will say that I find these to be overrated: Phil Collins Poison Audioslave post Black Album Metallica Sublime (great hits, rest of catalog is terrible) Creed Eminem post 8-mile Kanye West, especially after the college dropout (who is a gay fish) Edited September 8, 2010 by justnzane
The Dean Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Bands I fricking DESPISE: Steely Dan -- shoot me in the head (the Cuervo Gold? really?) Seriously, you should stop listening to music, then.
justnzane Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Seriously, you should stop listening to music, then. I think he meant Steely Dan is the most overrated poster of TSW All-time
bbb Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Seriously, you should stop listening to music, then. He can't - he'd miss out all that great Police music. What can possibly be wrong with the Cuervo Gold?
The Dean Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I think he meant Steely Dan is the most overrated poster of TSW All-time By whom?
Rico Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 He can't - he'd miss out all that great Police music. What can possibly be wrong with the Cuervo Gold? De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da. I think Steely Dan's standing is just about right, more a cult band, if anything, they are underrated by the masses.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da. I think Steely Dan's standing is just about right, more a cult band, if anything, they are underrated by the masses. From how the story goes... The Police named that song that way on purpose... In order to eff with the person on the radio that has to say the name of the song on the air.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Seriously, you should stop listening to music, then. Really? No, really. Really? I mean, rock is rock, man, and Steely Dan AIN'T rock. Please, let me get off the elveator now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzfwtX2kgOA Edited September 9, 2010 by Joe In Macungie
John Cocktosten Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Hands down, it's Nirvana I grew up in the "grunge" era and while I loved the music, I can't believe how dated some of it sounds especially Nirvana and Pearl Jam. A couple that I forgot: -Billy Joel: No denying his talent but his music blows...except for Captain Jack. -The Sex Pistols: I never by in to buy into "contraversial" bands. Hardly what punk should sound like, more like the Limp Bizkit of their time. -Iron Maiden: Maybe it's me but anything that sounds like it could be the soundtrack for a Dungeon and Dragons game, sucks. -The Strokes: Is this It is the best album of the but what have they done since...sh*t!
