The Most overrated Band ...

[John Daniels]

Poison. it's almost nothing, and it got quite big for a while.


and those who overrated these bands:

Nirvana has awesome songs, same for RHCP and Colplays's song "trouble" is one of the kind.

[Dave_Rose]

Radiohead and Coldplay they both suck!

U miss the point - over-rated doesn't denying they have some great songs its just the hype doesn't match the reality - hence 'over-rated', if they had no good stuff they wouldn't be 'over-rated' they would just be shite

The Big Three:

Dave Matthwes Band
Coldplay
Linkin Park

All equally horrible and unoriginal.

I'm not going to try to tell you that your opinion is wrong, like some people might around here; I'll just disagree about DMB being unoriginal. A 5 man band consisting of an acoustic guitar, electric bass, drums, violinist and saxophone isnt exactly your run of the mill band.

"... There have been hundreds of bands in the world...  some have changed the Music Scene forever with the power, talent, and drive required to make it... some others just were overrated ..."

Wouldn't Nirvana's impact on "the scene" match the post starters original statement as to the definition of overrated used in this instance...glam rock hair bands all but lost their call backs from record companies when nevermind came out...and while their was a definite plateau wit that sort of music, they did open up door for a lot of bands to gain a larger audience...

As far as who's overrated? I don't know I barely listen to corporate radio anymore...

Kujo, sure on paper they appear unoriginal but their sound is far from groundbreaking.  Most of their songs sound the same to me.  I've seen them live twice and even bought one of their earlier albums but they do nothing for me despite my efforts to like them.

Thats cool with me. I respect that you at least gave them a chance. Not everyone is going to agree on everything

[Queen of Everything]

The most over-rated band for me is 110%.... blink 182!! I hate how everyone is always going around "Oh blink182 are so cool, they are so punk" phhfftt! Im glad that they broke up!

well, now i have THAT off my back

Nirvana and RHCP are two of the greatest bands period, definitely not overrated.

Overrated I choose Led Zepplin

For some reason no one is ever suppose to be a greater rock band and I dont agree, I just dont hear what others hear.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Nirvana and Motley Crue. Definatley the Crue.  I mean come on, "The Most Infamous Rock Band in the World?"     They were the perfect example of cock rock.

[Tied-Up]

Overrated -- definitely Bon Jovi.? Ick.? Yuck.? ?

[Izzy]

Nirvana and RHCP are two of the greatest bands period, definitely not overrated.

C'mon RHCP are so bland - its inoffensive radio friendly stuff, no wonder it has sold well - their early more intresting stuff is unknown. What have RHCP contributed? As musicians they are very average, they haven't really left a mark.

Overrated I choose Led Zepplin

For some reason no one is ever suppose to be a greater rock band and I dont agree, I just dont hear what others hear.

We agree here. I like Zeppelin but it doesn't click with me - they strike me as very average, even guitar wise.

hey guys I started this THREAD why, my name is not First?

I STARTED THIS THREAD MMMM

Izzy I gotta disagree

John Frusciante is one of the best guitar players alive today and no one can match Flea on bass, Chad Smith is an excellent drummer, Anthony is a good lyricist, not the greatest vocalist but I love them and think they are unique and great.

By The Way alone went platinum in over 35 countries, that's pretty impressive, they have radio friendly songs that arent technically radio friendly

Just look at some of their past hits

"Otherside" wasnt a poppy radio friendly track but yet it dominated radio,Zephyr Song was very very left of right.

We will agree to disagree on them though.

I just never saw the fascination in Led Zepplin, Stairway is epic and great but their rock songs are just not what id call the greatest of all time and Robert Plant is the most annoying frontman ever to pick up a mic in my opinion.

[KeVoRkIaN]

The Beatles and The Ramones

Actually estranged88 started pretty much the same thread on 24 October 2003 so he beat you to it by way over a year dude, and i'm guessing one of the mods or jarmo thought rather than have several threads on the same subject lying around why not put them together...saves people repeating their views in thread after thread....does it bother you that much that your name is not first?

As for overated bands...jeez the list is endless it's hard to pick just one...there's Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Radiohead....guess the worst of them all is that Crazy Frog if he counts...he's on course for a UK No.1 so quite a few people must rate him...and since i think he's shite i'd say he's overated by a long way more so than all the bands i've listed.

P.S.  Kill The Frog

[Eduardo]

the rolling stones

i offically have deemed kieth richard numbnuts

hell i could probably play better then him

Pfff.. If you ever come up with ONE riff that can even hold a candle to the likes of Jumpin Jack Flash, Cant You Hear me Knockin, Brown Sugar, even Satisfaction. Then you?ll play better than him. He's probably the best rhythm guitar player ina rock n roll band ever

[Rob]

Nirvana is definitely an extremely overrated band.  Kurt Cobain was a bad singer and a sub-par guitarist.  I find their songs extremely boring.  If Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself they wouldn't be nearly as revered as they are now.  They receive far too much credit.  Not that I'm a big fan of either, but Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains were far superior grunge bands that don't get nearly as much credit as Nirvana.

Oasis- Can't stand 'em!
