Overrated Bands
Xaris3514:
Noted. Metal is more popular here than I first assumed.
Uber Ritter:
AC/DC over rated? I don't think anyone over the age of 16 thinks of them as anything more than a band that has made some very retarded but quite fun music and made one retarded and -incredibly- fun album, Back in Black, and then proceeded to try to make it over and over again for the next thirty years.
The Decembrists. But I think that's just because somewhat jangling verse-chorus stuff doesn't appeal to me much (I like them when they feel a tad more progressive).
I think it's fair to say that just about every band that has been described as 'the best ever' is over-rated.
Few or perhaps none of these bands are bad or even mediocre.
RE Joy Division, I love them, but I do think that in terms of musical innovation their pretty straightforward pop songs don't really compare to Marquee Moon or Blank Generation or whatever.
Xaris3514:
To be fair, it is a moderately easy assumption to make.
tommydski:
Most assumptions are.
That's why they are lame.

Is it really a pop song when your singer can't fookin' sing?
I mean, Ian Curtis is an idol of mine and 'Closer' is my second favourite album after Weezer, but the brother couldn't sing a pop song if he tried.
