Overrated Bands

Their skills as musicians, artists (and in Jimmy Page's case producer), can together surpass any other rock group to ever exist.
Also, ignore my "fourth album" avatar.

Hahaha. You should've just changed it before making that post. I mean it wasn't going to be especially credible anyway, without an avatar that virtually says 'I'm a fanboy.'

Well, whilst I was writing that list there was a documentary about the recording of one of Neil Diamond's albums playing on Radio 4. For the non-english, Radio 4 doesn't have any music coverage at all. It is a speech station. The tones in which this album and it's various elements were being dissected and described prompted me to add Mr. Diamond to the list.

This is both hilarious and an entirely fair reason.

I've never lived in the UK and even I know that at one time Oasis were regarded as rock gods by some people who were obviously very high and had never heard the Stone Roses.
mattgcn:
Am I the only one who feel bad, and like a snarky bastard calling music I don't like that is popular "overrated"? I just don't feel like it's my place, which would make me a terrible critic, but I'm too nice to be a snob.
But as for praised bands that I never really got into, Joy Division is one of them. I KNOW they're good, but I can't get in the groove. Musical aesthetic tastes and whatnot. I like a lot of bands that are hated by the large majority of music snobs (Aquabats, They Might Be Giants) though, so my opinion doesn't really count, does it?

Oh, another--
I don't understand what's so great about Boris. I have three albums, but despite listening to them probably about 5 times now, I just don't get it. It's not interesting or exciting or invigorating or new or...anything to me.
