Overrated Bands
Jackie Blue:
I don't like much metal but I hear a fuckton of people go on and on and on about how awesome Emperor is.
And Khar is right about Mastodon.
redphoenix11:
As much as I love Loveless, I'm going to say MBV is kind of overrated. Honestly, I think Ride's Nowhere is a better shoegaze album.
That being said, I'm not going to deny that MBV is the more influential band.
hipster jesus:
Madonna. The fact she got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility was just depressing.
dancarter:
Agreed.
There's a station here in Canadia-land called Star! that is airing nothing but Madonna related television shortly to celebebrate her 50th birthday. I mean seriously, what the hell? As a singer? Sub par at best. As a musical revolutionary? Well, gee...let's all just find the most obvious things that will piss middle America off and do that. What a glorious stroke of brilliance that is.
MBV put me to sleep, honestly. That album has the most coked-out mix ever...and I think that was a bit of the point, but perhaps I'm wrong. That said, I love the track When You Sleep. Seems appropriate enough. Beside the fact that the best shoegaze albums are so obviously Mira's self titled debut and the follow ups, Apart, and There I Go Daydreamer.
Oh,and concerning Led Zeppelin? They're credibility slides every time the endless re-unification(or attempt to) cycle looms it's head to a less and less interested sigh from the populace. You want it to be good but realize that Plant hasn't aged well and that the music is very much of its time and only that. Purely subjective, of course

I'd say both Lush's Split and Slowdive's Souvlaki are far more enjoyable shoegaze albums than anything MBV did aside from the Feed Me With Your Kiss EP.
