Most overrated bands/musicians (in your view)?

KISS

 

Not locked yet?

I can't believe this went 4 pages.

 

To borrow a very obscure reference from the genius of the Phil Hendrie show spoken by LITTLE IAN ANDERSON not the real one......Its all RUBBISH.....this topic is rubbish....The moon is not rubbish.

 

Aretha has a fantastic singing voice but she's more of a cover artist than a musician.

 

I have almost every scrap of material Stereolab ever released (which is quite a bit), so obviously I'm overrating them.

 

The Clash

 

Have you listened to "Check Your Head" by now?

 

"Check Your Head" is a decent album (their best) but they're still a parody act.

 

If you say so.

 

Bob Dylan

 

Do you have Eaten Horizons or the Electrocution of Rock?

 

Lol. I respect him as a songwriter and lyricist, but even then he's overrated. Much prefer his songs when covered by other artists.

 

You should ask those hundreds if not thousands of other artists who've covered Dylan songs if he's overrated, even as a vocalist, they'd tell you you're crazy.

 

John Oates

 

Van Halen would be first on my list. followed by Madonna, Dave Matthews, Lady GaGa.

 

No, I don't. I'm not in for $500.

 

STILL open?

Van Halen, Paul McCartney, Monkees
(=acts that are overrepresented on this forum compared to their cultural and/or commercial stature)

Neil Young, Led Zeppelin
(=overzealous fans)

Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters (post 2nd album), Beach Boys, Dave Matthews, The Jam, Oasis, Richard Thompson
(no clue as to their appeal)

 

On which planet are Kiss rated highly?

 

Uh-oh - people are starting to take this dumb thread seriously. Now would be the time to close it down.
