Musopticon? Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I remember writing an essay why some of those bands sucked so badly. Highest possible grades. :D kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today.

Judge Hades Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I would have a completely different 10 bands. Okay, 9 bands. <_< Now I think about it 6 bands. Totally different 6 bands. No, there is that one band, and those buggers... Hmmm... 4 bands. Definintely four different bands out of the 10 he listed.
Krookie Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I wouldn't even count some of those bands as 'rated', nevermind overrated. Nickleback isn't all that popular.
Enoch Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 His evidence is a bit too lyric-centered. What that guy needs to learn is that virtually all song lyrics sound stupid if you just read them off the page. It's about context. And, based on lyrics alone, the worst song ever written is Journey's "Any Way You Want It." There can be no debate about this.
Musopticon? Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 One thing though, I would change RATM off the first place. Just an idle thought. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I dont think hes quite right at grouping APC with Tool, though. Tool were amazing but APC is just Smashing Pumkins feat. Maynard James Keenan But nowadays I just get the feeling that music has died creatively. I havent heard anything new that was actually NEW in years, and none of the bands that sound like copies of old bands are any good either. I wonder if the thousand monkeys with a thousand electric guitars have finally wrote every song that could be written? Lets face it, there is only a set number of combinations of notes that can be put together so that it sounds good and weve been churning out tunes for 400 years now (not counting Hildegard von Bingen and the lot) Edited April 9, 2006 by Kaftan Barlast DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Guitars are so played-out. The musical sound of the new millenium is the muted trombone.

Oerwinde Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) When I read the thread title the first band to come to mind was U2... which wasn't on that list.

WinterSun Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I thought Audioslave were OK. RATM without Zach and his third-rate student politics. James Blunt should have been higher though. Whenever I hear his psycho-stalker lyrics I can't help wishing he'd been killed in Bosnia. master of my domain Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.
thepixiesrock Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 Alright guys, fine. You don't get it. I can't stand the radio anymore, and I'm too poor to buy a CD player for my car. So I took it all out in the form of a bait article. Some of the readers at my site are going to spam out the URL to fanboards of some of these bands in my Top 10 Most Overrated Bands. Let's see how many people I can piss off.

Hurlshort Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I agree with a few of his choices, but yeah, he's too focused on lyrics. I listen to White Stripes because Jack White plays an awesome guitar. I don't care what he's saying. I'm also completely against having Beck on there. One, Beck doesn't get a ton of exposure, so I don't get how he's over-rated. Also, it's not his lyrics, but the combination of beats and the odd sound of his voice that are intriguing. And what's with Rage Against the Machine being there? Seriously, this list is lame. James Blunt hasn't even been around long enough to be over-rated...give him a couple albums at least. Here is a real over-rated list: 5. Metallica (I like them, but seriously) 4. Limp Bizcuit 3. Gangsta Rappers in general 2. Ozzy Osbourne 1. Bon Jovi

Hurlshort Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Get what, that it's a bait article? It still lends itself to discussion. Uh...why did you post it if you don't expect people to discuss the list?

Blarghagh Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) It's about as funny as Maddox (speaking of overrated). He's just saying "yeah, this is bad, so here's some swear words". Where's the funny? EDIT: Also, didn't Chris Cornell say he would only join the remaining members of RATM if they weren't political? Oh yeah, he DID. Do your research, ****er, at least Maddox had that much decency. Edited April 9, 2006 by TrueNeutral
