Overrated Bands
SrMeowMeow:
Man...why are you all up on my case :-P this thread is ABOUT bands that we think are overrated. It's not like I busted into some Led Zepplin appreciation thread and ruined the vibe. I just don't like them that much, and therefore think they're overrated since many people think they're amazing. Like, When the Levee Breaks - when that comes on, I change the song. It's not pleasant to listen to. And yes, I like the blues. I just don't like the combination of whiny voice + scratchy guitar, and I don't think their songs are very catchy or moving or interesting.
I mean, come on. Lord of the Rings references. How visionary can you be :wink:
KeepACoolin:
Well, the point of Zeppelin was essentially not to be catchy.
But, anyway, you're right, this is about overrated bands: the Beatles, Nirvana, the Ramones, and the Smiths. I like the first two at least a little bit (Dave Grohl's drumming, anyway), but the Ramones and Smiths are AWFUL.
KeepACoolin:
The question is not about coolness, it's about being an overrated (i.e., musically) band. And the Ramones were horrible musicians and wrote bad music. Plus, I don't think the Ramones were even a cool band. Look at us wear leather jackets and sunglasses indoors! We're so freaking punk rock!
The Clash were much better musicians and much cooler.
Scandanavian War Machine:
fun fact: Joey Ramone is just a persona that was temporarily adopted by the immortal Quasimodo before moving on to pretend to be some guy named Michael Phelps.

They were so cool.

I could be wrong, but I think you made a Strong Bad reference.
As for the Ramones, in the immortal words of Ron Burgundy, "Agree to disagree."
