I don't know what to say to that..


In the end, does it really matter if a band is overrated?

Slipknot. Seriously does a band need 9 guys to make music that 1 guy can make even better music?

Tool have some highly annoying fans who tend to overrate them but fuck it, they are in fact a fantastic band. Most of the haters concentrate on the fact that they're not the most complex or most progressive thing in music, which is tremendously stupid.

Overrated musicians? Coldplay, Lady GaGa, Green Day and I could go on forever.

Agreed!

Everyone is going to have their own favorite bands, so why even have a nice argue-y thread like this lol.
I love Green Day and Metallica, and sure I'll agree that some of their stuff is overrated. But still I'll listen to them any damn day of the week because what they write is the stuff I like.

Overrated, but overrated by whom? The sheep? Or the people actually interested in music?
Really... when you call The Beatles overrated, I just think something's wrong.
With you or me.

I also agree with Joy Division. Seriously? They put out 2 fucking albums. TWO! Ok, so Trent liked them...he also liked Prince for Christ's sake.
Prince wrote a few masterpieces in the 80s, you know?

And many of the bands mentioned here are not overrated, just because you don't like them doesn't mean that they don't deserve the level of recognition that they have.

My overrated band - Tool.
Mostly because their fans go "Maynard is GOD!!"
I hate obsessive fans that say their favourite musician is the best
.Sorry, just couldn't get into them all that much. Not to say I don't like them, of course. I liked 10,000 days and Lateralus. Mostly because their fans go "Maynard is GOD!!"

Well, you see a lot of that crap here on nin.com. I like NIN (in fact is one of my favorite bands) but, sometimes, when I'm talking to some other nin.comers and I say that I don't like something specific about NIN or Reznor, they go mad and they defend him like if you were a fucking enemy ready to kill. People should learn to separate the artistic work and the guy behind it as the two separate entities they are. Too, people should stop idolizing people just because they need a guideline to build their lives around something

Couldn't this thread basically be called "bands that have the most annoying/over adulating fans" because that's pretty much where most of this crap comes from.

To figure out whose more overrated, just put two musicians next to one another & see which fanbaserabid horde of crack-babies produces the most saliva.

Michael Jackson
Lady Gaga
As I Lay Dying
Muse
Avenged Sevenfold (I don't hate A7x. I'm just annoyed at the amount of praise they've been getting since The Rev died)

Red Hot Chili Peppers (Newer stuff)
Depeche Mode

30 Seconds From Mars: These guys really get on my nerves, I saw their new video and it's so over-board dramatic. Jared Leto should go back to acting, his new mohawk and Rockstar look pisses me off; Such a Poser!!!!

Linkin Park: First off, how the hell are these guys still relevant. Just the same with 30 Seconds From Mars, their new video is ridiculous…it's pathetic there was ever and still are fans of this retarded band!

Muse: These guys are probably the top of my list for SHITTY music. They are too over-rated and make Coldplay seem like Metallica in my opinionsmiling smiley That new album they put out sucked so bad, I want my 20mins of listening to it back and the fact there's a shitload of fans of theirs on these forums makes me wanna puke….that's a my rant!

Kings Of Leon: These guys can just go fuck themselves and their fans as well.

Taylor Swift: It pisses me off still that she got ridiculously popular over sympathy from the Kanye situation (which he was right for once!). I can't believe she swept all those awards after that, cause she didn't win them for talent, but sheer "sympathy." Just shows why awards don't mean anything, cause her music sucks donkey balls!

Insane Clown Posse: They were pretty big when I grew in NY in like 97, then we all came to our senses and grew out of that shit QUICK!!! Presently, for some reason, Arizona is full of these juggalo pricks and I can't even figure out what the draw is, cause these fans aren't young teens. I didn't even know they still existed till I moved here 5yrs ago.

And I agree with Patrick with Michael Jackson, the guy was super talented "back in the day," but didn't do anything worthy since the early 90s except fucking around with children, which in my book makes him out to be the worst artist, no matter his talent. It disgusts me that after his death, people seemed to overlook or forget his Child Molesting-Antics, cause during those years, they weren't talking about him in such a highly influential manner that they are today. And honestly, was anybody really surprised he died, I mean, it was about as shocking as hearing Anna Nicole Smith died
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for those earlier posts on TOOL and Radiohead, I love both bands a lot. But as I've said in other threads, I can't stand their fans. Radiohead fans are not as bad as Tool's, but those Radiohead fans that praise "The Bends" as THE or THEIR Greatest album are tards, that album doesn't even hold a light to their later work. As for Tool, those guys are all majorly talented and I've always respected their work and musicianship, but their fans should just eat a fart!!!! I swear everything is about TOOL with those fuckers, you ask them any question and it always reverts back to TOOL,
like:
Who's your favorite comedian? …….Bill Hicks
Who's your favorite painter? ……Alex Grey
Ask them what other bands they like, guaranteed answer: King Crimson

it's not like I haven't been introduced to things through bands I've liked, but goddamn; be original! I've said it before on another thread that the world doesn't revolve around TOOL and it seems like any time you're around TOOL fans, that's all they Talk about, Listen to and even what they Wear. I used to be a major Deadhead and they were the forefathers of Cult-Fanbases, but I also listened to plenty of other artists and genres…you gotta change that shit up to keep things interesting in my book. Honestly Tool fans remind me so much of Juggalo's with Insane Clown Posse, but just more tolerable

A lot of really piss poor bands are being called overrated in this thread. Surely we can aim higher yeah? And lets get some reasons too.

gonzo84 has the right idea, even if I respectfully disagree.

My friends give me so much crap for hating this band. I absolutely hate the singers voice...whenever I hear any of their songs go on the radio I wanna tear my ears off. As mean as this may sound whenever anyone brings up the story about the singer getting bird crap in his mouth I always end up laughing.

I agree with what others on Muse and Pearl Jam. Can't stand those bands either.

Yes. i've listened to Get Color three times, i just don't see what's good about it. Yet it's getting praise all over the place, people are calling them band of the year. I'm not saying they shouldn't have success at all, they just shouldn't be so overrated.
However, Alessandro's remix of Before Tigers (as Blindoldfreak) is beautiful.

Other bands that i find very overrated atm and don't understand why people like them so much, Crystal Castles, Gonjasufi, Fuck Buttons.

Career climbing fakers. They will change their sound at a moment's notice if they think its gonna break them through. And they did. They heard Arcade Fire and decided anthemic indie was in, dropped the fake backwater accents, took the "indie" out of "anthemic indie" and then wrote Sex on Fire and Use Somebody. The only thing consistent about their career are the lyrics that make me feel embarrassed listening to them, and the creative nadir of their music videos.

I actually really dig HEALTH. I'm a huge fan of noise rock or just noise, and HEALTH is the only band that does this type of abrasive music with so much determined structure. Everything from their instrumentation to the defeated vocals just sets them apart from every other band out there (that I've come across anyways). Even their take on pop songs (USA Boys) has a specific mood to it other bands rarely capture. Something some music publication or another (believe it might have been The Quietus) said once that really resonates with me was calling the sound of Get Color "a cell exploding."
