Overrated Bands
KeepACoolin:
Last ditch effort to make this somewhat civil: all posts on this thread should have "in my opinion" as an unspoken caveat. Therefore, in my opinion, Mike Portnoy is better than Neil Peart. Again, in my opinion, neither is as good as John Bonham. They probably have more technical chops, but they cannot touch Bonzo's sound and instincts. Also, I really don't think John Myung is that great either, so if you want, count Geddy Lee vs. John Myung as a point to Rush. But John Petrucci might be the most talented guitarist in the world.
As to everyone who says that Dream Theater writes bad music, I suggest Metropolis Part II: Scenes from a Memory. It's one of my favorite albums. LTE might be more guilty of this, but songs like Universal Mind are really fun. It ends with about fifteen seconds of reggae followed by that circus theme song. It made me literally laugh the first time I heard it (at least I think that's Universal Mind, it might be Paradigm Shift, and I don't have the motivation to check right now).

Sorry, not even close.

Care to elaborate? Also, bear in mind that, as I said, you can throw an "in my opinion" at the end of all these statements.

John McLaughlin says: "WTF is this shit? John Petrucci? Who the fuck is that?"
KeepACoolin:
To clarify: when I say things, assume that I'm limiting my statements to the genres of reggae, blues, and the various forms of rock. I have nothing to say about post-rock, jazz, classical, country, bluegrass, rap (well, not much, except that Black Star freaking rule), R&B, or any other genre I may have over looked- oh, and pop.
