Overrated Bands
Wardial3r:
Might be a little late to say it, but I guess I could be considered a Coldplay orifice worshipper(o0). Well not to that point, but I really like them. They aren't anything groundbreaking or new, but they make interesting catchy songs, where all their albums have very different sounds while not losing what they sound like. It's easy to listen to and enjoyable. Who knows.
I do enjoy Led Zeppelin, a lot more of their softer simpler stuff than their long long long songs, but I usually have a short attention span for music. I really like Thank You, and That's The Way especially. Similair in the vein to coldplay, they are ejoyable to me and I don't think I could find a mood where a Zeppelin song wouldn't fit what I wanted to listen to, but I'd say they are overrated. I don't view them as gods, and think that is a ridiculous statement.
For overrated i'm putting some things out there that haven't been much said.
Lil Wayne. Nonsensical lyrics, spoken unintelligibly, with too much autotune to hear any voice that he might have. Calling himself the best rapper alive? Really?
Josh Homme - Queens of the Stone Age was mediocre rock, Make it Wit Chu I enjoyed a little bit, but not anything I'd actually want to listen to. Nothing exciting to see here, move on. Kyuss just bored me. And what the hell is eagles of death metal even trying to do. Anyways. Just Me.
Red Hot Chili Peppers get wayyy too much attention for having a singer who can't hit a single note.

It's called "having a discussion".
And if you call The Ramones "bad musicians" you are obviously a philistine. The biggest part of what makes them so great is that they thought they were writing and producing accessible, catchy pop songs that would be huge hits, but had no idea how accessible, catchy pop songs that were huge hits were written and produced in the 70's. Listen to every Ramones album from the self-titled to End of The Century, and you'll notice that the latter is not only the most "musically proficient", but also the worst. Also, the fact that they looked more goofy than cool, though they tried so hard to look cool--is part of their appeal.
Joe Strummer called the Ramones' first album "one of the most fabulous records ever made."

Joe Strummer, despite being an okay guitarist (Mick was better), does not have the best taste in music. Punk rockers were more interested in angriness of the lyrics. And I mean that the Ramones were BAD AT THEIR INSTRUMENTS.

Part number a: I love Johnny Ramone's guitar playing for its sheer simplicity.
Part letter 2: I'm listening to the new Animal Collective album and it FUCKING SUCKS. Stop pissing your pants over them, seriously.
