I wouldn't consider Green Day overrated. They were very new and very unique in thier time. I don't really like thier new stuff, mostly because it's waayyy overplayed on the radio, but they do make good songs.
So, overplayed? Maybe, but overrated? I dunno. They deserve alot of credit for being a very influential band then and now.
No, no, Green Day is definitely overrated. How can anyone see their appeal?
Not one to purposefully hit a sore spot, but I think RHCP are overated in many ways. Their music doesn't have much appeal to me (except Califonication, which is good), and I think there's much better/harder working bands out there that don't get a sniffle of the heaps of praise Pepper's get on a nigh on secondly basis.
panic at the disco is becomming overated now
mtv ruins everything :(
I agree. Not to be a huge fanboy, but Mr. Bungle's "California" is loads better than RHCP's "Californiacation".Quote:

Also Dani California sounds suspiciously like Mary Jane's Last Dance, by Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers, it's actually the same song with rearraged words. A radio DJ pointed this out by the way, and several said it actually does follow the same chords, beat, tempo, etc. So yeh, what do we call them now, the Red Hot Chili Pettys?
I think Iron Maiden are overrated. :)
She does. I listened through a cd of her stuff with low expectations and enjoyed several of the songs.Quote:

My Chemical Romance is far overrated by the kids at school. And i think DCFC probably gets a bit more attention than it needs.
I agree with that. While I do enjoy listening to some of their songs, a lot of their stuff is incredibly boring and sometimes irritating.Quote:

most of the new bands...i find myself watching kerrang tv wondering why they play the same song over and over.....oh wait they were different songs.....or were they?? i dont know!!! i just know that most of the newer music sounds the same!!! Greenday wil lgo down in history with status quo as 10 years on, they manage to make the same few bars into different songs (not that i am a GD hater....i dont mind them) Nirvana for me were way overrated, i do not see the point of listeneing to musci that makes me want to kill myself!!! for me at the mo though the most wildly o/r band is coldplay.........can anyone really tell there songs apart??????
bring back the original guns n roses pleeeeeeeeze!!! now there was a beautifully diverse and talented band!!!!
In my opinion, it's U2 by faaaaaaaaar.
Ugh. They're terrible. >_>Quote:

The Rolling Stones are way, way, way overrated, and so are most things John Lennon ever did (gets shot). Kurt Cobain was and is overrated.
I don't think Nickelback is really overrated, because I don't know of anyone who claims their music is particularly innovative. I agree that they're overplayed, and normally it's their crappier songs.
Greenday used to be pretty good, but just because they used to be doesn't mean everything they do is golden nowadays. I was expecting American Idiot to be epic, and I was really pumped about it. I was disappointed.
Jack White is interesting, but there has been nothing about his guitar work that has struck me as spectacular. But Rolling Stone is a pretty crappy entertainment magazine.
Every female within a hundred miles of me freaking bleeds Anna Nalick and about how amazing a songstress she is, and yeah she's good for a seventeen year old. But so was Lennon, and no one ever gave a damn about her music. Anna Nalick is way overrated.
I still don't understand why Willie Nelson is so legendary.
I'm done for now! xD
