The funnest part of these kinds of threads are people who bag on some bands you know are absolutely kick ass and then turn around and list some total garbage as their favorites. Opinions and A-holes man...
OT / Overrated Bands
- Thread starter blackbones
- Start date
This entry sorta goes without saying. I would submit that most post-grunge bands in general are pretty horrible.
I think Dave Matthews would be one of the first bands on my list of most overrated. Can't stand that band. Great musicians...horrible songs.
Nirvana - can’t understand what he is saying, can’t sing a lick and the guitar playing is awful.
Kiss - just bad musicians all the way around. When Michael Bolton starts writing songs for you then you know you suck.

Definitely some skilled instrumentalists, terrible lyrics and the way that guy sings is cringey
U2 and Pearl Jam I fully understand, but the Beatles' music is still well-ahead of it's time more than 50 years later. Music would be so vacant without their influence on so many bands. The melodies they came up with are unequalled and probably never will be, IMO.
Ace Frehley was a pretty good lead guy, but the rest of the guys were very average musicians. But the Beatles' were pretty average musicians too. It doesn't take great musicians to write great music. It takes a great mind for creating melodies.
Dave Matthews' drummer and bass player are waaay talented. I'm sure the lead guy is probably really talented too. DM just writes some really bad songs.
LOL, did Michael Bolton really write some songs for them? That is hilarious!!
Love old AC/DC, when Bon Scott sang.
Couldn't agree more on that entire host of post-grunge bands. Can't stand Linkin Park, Nickelback, Avenged Sevenfold, Five Finger Death Pinch, Silver Chair, Stone Sour, Bush, Breaking Benjamin, 3 Days Grace, Staind, Alter Bridge, 3 Doors Down, etc.. Just terrible! And even Foo Fighters sorta bother me. Can probably tolerate them more than the other bands I listed though.
Next to 'New Country,' post--runge is the worst thing to ever happen to music, IMO. Yes, even worse than Disco.
Love Led Zep, Dylan, and especially Bowie. To me, Bowie was nearly as influential as The Beatles and Stones.
Hehe, you are so wrong!!
Love the Beatles!!
Highly underrated post. If you are a musician and/or singer, you generally love Led Zep, because their chops were so amazing!
And I wholeheartedly agree on Pop Punk. That stuff is rubbish. Minutemen, DKs, Fear, Saccharine Trust, Black Flag, Stooges, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Generation X, Stiff Little Fingers, New York Dolls, Ramones, Sex Pistols. All good stuff!
Boston and Grateful Dead I understand, but how can you listen to 2112 and not just sit there in amazement of how accomplished they are as musicians? 2112 through Moving Pictures was a period of amazing craftsmanship, for the music nerd in all of us.
Is that including the Black album? Because the Black album is great and Load and Reload have a lot of good songs too. Metallica's washed up now compared to what they used to be and even then they're still making better songs than 90% of the stuff out there. For me, And Justice for All and the Black album is Metallica's pinnacle but I like their older stuff and newer songs too.
I genuinely think that Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons came up with some great melodies and songs. How can anyone listen to Black Diamond and not absolutely love that song? Or Detroit Rock City/King of the Nighttime World? Love that stuff!
1. ACDC
2. The Beatles
3. Kiss
4. Rush: I like their sound, but the singer's voice annoys the crap out of me.

Oh my...you'll smoke a turd in hell for this comment.
I feel the complete opposite. I find the Who to be highly overrated and Led Zep, Dylan, and Bowie as some of the best musical artists ever.
Hey, I think Grand Funk plays fairs now...and they are amazing!! I would have them on my highly UNDERrated list, as well as ELO. Jeff Lynne wrote some amazing music, and has one of the best voices in rock and roll history.
Was waiting for you to show up and add some knowledge to the thread.Oh my...you'll smoke a turd in hell for this comment.
Love Bowie also.
You know you hit the big time when you get a drink machine associated with your music!
There were a few on the White Album that were flat out awful, wild honey pie comes to mind along with savoy truffle.
Really like all the Marty Balin slow songs from Jefferson Starship. Otherwise not much of a Starship fan..
Other than Weezer, who has some good songs, and a few Smashing Pumpkins songs, I completely agree. 311 would be very high on my list of bands I can't stand. The Doors and Ozzie wouldn't be far behind. Rob Zombie would be thought of so little that he wouldn't even get a mention.
Yeah Weezer and the Pumpkins were pretty good. Don't understand the hate there..
What they did was amazing...to become that big without really any radio play is amazing.
Ha! I have seen them two or three times, it is a fun show!

@JohnRossEwing, you completely nailed the 1st artist that would be on my most Overrated list. And 2nd place hasn't even peaked over the horizon yet. Jimmy Buffett took two shitty songs and created an entire empire by overcharging his mindless trinket buying yuppies $150 for something that probably cost 3 bucks to make.
Yep this man would be the absolute top of my list, and should be at the top of the list of the Top 10 Most Wanted at the post office for criminal activity...of taking a crap on a piece of cardboard and selling it to his hordes of followers for hundreds of dollars.
He is a marketing genius though, which saddens me. So many people are being taken to the cleaners by this guy..
