SOME BANDS THAT ARE VASTLY OVERRATED
Slayer*
*People say they are the greatest thrash ever having heard no other thrash but Metallica just because it's the recieved opinion. They're good, but I think they're very over-rated, especially nowadays.
I could not agree more.
Also, Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment are essentially the same band, except LTE has no vocals. I don't understand why LTE is awesome but DT is overrated.

I'm not all that into Tranny, but I dig on all the others.
Envy is particularly fucktacular.
-

Way to close your mind off.
I mean, it's fair if you just don't like hip hop, but I've seen way too many people say "Anything but country and rap", and that is the single worst sentence one can use to sum up their musical tastes.[/quote]

Way to close your mind off.
Maybe he just doesn't like rap? This is about personal tastes after all.
I don't really like rap. It's not even the rapping so much, although it can be, it's the arrangement and rhythms of the beats, the subject matter of some groups, etc. etc. I just don't find it meshes with me or appeals to me as a person. Maybe it's veiled racism or something, although tbh I doubt it.
I do quite like Goldie Lookin' Chain when I'm in the mood though, and of course Rare Form. This is probably, as I say, because I can just identify with them. Also, because Goldie Lookin' Chain are hilarious.
And that Star Wars rap, that is rather, what is it you young people say, diseasin'.
-
that's totally cool. i'm not going to say that everyone should listen to everything for the sake of saying "i'm open"; i just take offense when people write off an entire genre for seemingly invalid reasons. i suppose you don't even really need a valid reason to say that you dislike a genre, but it doesn't sit right with me when people don't, just because i love music, and i try to keep an open ear for everything.
i'm guilty though. i've mostly written off noise rock after listening to Wolf Eyes' Burned Mind. but, you know, if something comes along that's better, maybe i'll change my mind about the genre.

I dislike rap because it's mindlessly repetitive. Spoken vocals that don't even require pitch changes over computer-manufactured drum beats and sampling. I'm not subconsciously racist, I just don't think that constitutes quality music.
Unless you consider "Amish Paradise" and "Couch Potato" by Weird Al actual rap.
-

Hey! You just described The Books! :P
I understand your issues with rap/hip-hop, though.

I could say this, but it would bely the amount of industrial I listen to. One could make these criticisms about Laibach, but somehow I love Laibach. It has to do, more in my mind, with the use these kind of things are put to. An american dude in trainers rapping over funky beats doesn't cut it for me, but a gravelly-voiced slovenian pretty much speaking over heavy as fuck 909 loops, simple guitar and sample choirs and military marches somehow works perfectly, even though you could never claim that it is less repetitive, less cliche, whatever.
It all comes down to dancing, I think. Hip hop is, after all, pretty much dance music, and if I can't stomp, mosh, headbang or gothdance (tm) to something, I'd rather not hit the floor. Others of course would prefer to sit it out, no matter how many times Milan says "KOMERADE, KOMM TANZ MIT MIR!"
-
Jewel
WHAT ARE YOU ON, MAN, INTUITION OR WHATEVER THE HELL THE NAME OF THAT DAMNED SONG IS IS LIKE THE BEST SONG EVAR
-
I like Hands(the lame christian lyrics aside), it's just...catchy?
However Who Will Save Your Soul is one great folk song, even if she did turn into Britney Spears later on.
-
So does she have older stuff that's better then? I just got kinda turned off by that one song... you know, the one that they played ((over and over) x 10) again on the pop radio stations. I know you shouldn't judge an artist over just one song, but... yeah.
-
BANDS THAT ARE VASTLY OVERRATED
Interpol
I'm starting to wonder who they're overrated by.
-
They are overrated by me.
-
And by sold out crowds every where.

I dislike rap because it's mindlessly repetitive. Spoken vocals that don't even require pitch changes over computer-manufactured drum beats and sampling. I'm not subconsciously racist, I just don't think that constitutes quality music.
Unless you consider "Amish Paradise" and "Couch Potato" by Weird Al actual rap.
WHEN WEIRD AL DOES HIP-HOP IT'S REALLY FUNNY AND GREAT BECAUSE HE'S NOT BLACK.

Get off your fucking pedestal, plzthxbai.

Those who universally pooh-pooh rap may want to consider reading this (http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1750280&lastnode_id=124), which has introduced me to some rap I could bear to listen to more than once. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien's "Proto Culture," in particular, is virtually impossible not to like.
I was going to do The List but decided I didn't really care that much.

-
YES! Saul Williams is awesome.
ooooooh yeah. he is a genius. i don't listen to a lot of rap/hip-hop, but i know what i like, and i LOVE saul williams. i'm absolutely gutted i missed him supporting sage francis in glasgow earlier this year i think. i'm also rather gutted about missing sage francis.
-
The Monkees Head album was a masterpiece. They put out alot of stinkers, but that one alone made up for the rest of it.
-
yeah for gods sake listen to Aesop Rock or MF Doom or cLOUDDEAD if you think all rap comes down to 50 Cent and garbage like that.

Dropkick Murpheys

Ozzy Osbourne

Thing about Hendrix is, everyone talks about him when he was in the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but no one talks about him when he was Band of Gypsies and that makes me hate people who mentions him.
Thing about Led Zepplin is, everyone claims that Jimmy Page is the best guitarist ever because of the solo in Stairway to Heaven... it's an atrocity. Granted the song is good, but it's dumb hearing people talk about how great Zepplin is because of that one song or how great Jimmy Page is because of that solo. It drives me crazy.

Granted the song is good, but it's dumb hearing people talk about how great Zepplin is because of that one song or how great Jimmy Page is because of that solo. It drives me crazy.
I agree that Zeppelin has way too many bandwagon fans. One time I went up and asked one of the kids at my high school who was wearing a Led Zep shirt to name a song that wasn't 'Stairway to Heaven'. Just as an experiment. He was able to come up with 'Rock and Roll', but after that he kind of just looked at me funny. Sure, Stairway's solo is great, but what about the ones on Dazed and Confused or Heartbreaker?
On the other hand, people who say that Led Zeppelin is 'mindless testosterone-charged hippee rock' make me just as angry, because they obviously know nothing about their music. Led Zeppelin III alone has about 5 different genres crammed into it.

I totally agree. Led Zepplin III does have quite a lot of variety. I especially liked some of the more folk-driven songs. Though I do enjoy Zepplin because alot of it is based off alot of blues songs, but it still uses other different instruments like tablas and such. People who try to talk Zepplin and don't know anything about them really annoy me. Thank god for people like you, Storm Rider, who can actually appreciate Zepplin for things other than Stairway.

Good bands:
Yellowcard (mostly cause of the violin)
Reel Big Fish

Scorpions
Man'o'war
Over-rated or burned out on:
Green Day

ACDC
System of a Down (mostly due to a friend's constant ramblings about them)
Bad bands:
i'll have to say that there are very few bands i truly and completely hate(in the genres i like). i can't stand rap, hip-hop or country so my bad bands would be in those areas

Is there really a need to say that bands like Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Limp Bizkit, The Used, My Chemical Romance, are bad? I mean honestly. It's a moot point. There is no need to bring it up.
-
Yeah, I was thinking that too. I couldn't think of too many bands to put that weren't like, "uh, yeah duh" about so I kept it small.

Good:
AFI
Ungood:

Am I missing something here?
I wouldn't call AFI punk plus I prefer their older, pre MTV stuff. I meant things like Green Day, MCR, The Used etc. I've never seen AFI on TV here in NZ so I'm using the MTV metaphor so others could get it, if I started talking about C4 everyone would think explosives...
Besides, AFI have a whole lot more musical talent than these other bands. Try listening to Dancing Through Sunday and tell me that ain't talented.
Pavement and Sonic Youth were both called the saviours of rock. I think that anything good has probably been called that somewhere or another.
ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON'T LIKE THE SAME BANDS THAT I LIKE.
I don't like Pavement or Sonic Youth, I can tolerate some of the better ones to come out of it, new White Stripes is quite good but shit like Blindside, The Vines, Kings Of Leon etc, just bugs me. You know, the saviours who made one album and disappeared. At least White Stripes and Franz, while mediocre, have shown some progression in their music.

Muse
cLOUDDEAD / Subtle / Themselves (+ whatever other permutation of awful sounding hip-hop for liberal arts college radio nonsense.. give me some Ludacris or TI any day, thanks)
Gorillaz (maybe fish in a barrel, but there's something that annoys me about this lot much more than the NME tedium of the day)

Mark Hollis / Talk Talk
PJ Harvey
Peaches
Autechre
Aphex Twin
Gone off them a bit or a lot.
Talib Kweli

-
Some compilations that I think are awesome:
Manic Street Preachers - Forever Delayed

Some bands who have only made one great album but I love them even so:
Hope of the States
Rage Against The Machine
Some bands who I love that no-one else seems to have heard of or like that are criminally underrated (and why):
Lucky Nine - British metal supergroup; only made one album, the second one apparently in the works, are fucking awesome, yet no-one knows them
Hundred Reasons - Three great studio albums
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - I only have two of their three albums, but those two are brilliant
I couldn't think of five for half of those lists.

Most people think of compilations as being albums with music by many different artists, not "greatest hits" type packages of a single artist.
It's a big deal.

I don't know how you define 'most people.' But the way I see it, those albums are all 'compiled' from different releases rather than being studio albums or live albums.
If you go to wikipedia and look at artist discographies, you will find most of the above releases under 'compilations.' I'd suggest Seven Ways might not because it's a compilation of a b-side and 3/4 of two EPs.

BANDS AS GOOD AS DESTROYER
I have to say, from what little I've listened to from Destroyer, they don't impress me in the least.
-
bands as good as destroyer: see [insert one of dozens, no, hundreds, of other band names here]
and change 'as good as' to 'better'
i don't really see the appeal of destroyer. care to explain the hype?
-
I would guess that they appeal to the Sufjan Stevens/Bright Eyes crowd, though I could be mistaken.
-
well seeing how i've thought some of sufjan's stuff is fairly terrific, and bright eyes has some mild appeal as well, i'm not so sure if that's true. it's a different musical style. destroyer often finds itself in the sunset rubdown/frog eyes/wolf parade ect. party (swan lake helped this comparison along) but i don't see it....those 3 bands are great but i just can't get into destroyer really, even after listening to destroyer's rubbies a bunch of times....not sure why.
-
Easy: Destroyer is bland and unengaging (is that a word?). I'll admit, I was almost impressed with a Sufjan Stevens song, but not quite.
-
I would guess that they appeal to the Sufjan Stevens/Bright Eyes crowd, though I could be mistaken.

Deerhoof are not awesome.
-
#7! #7! #7!
-
Okay, fine, Built to Spill aren't my favorite band, but I should've added a sidenote saying I like them. I just think they're a bit overrated, which is probably helped by the fact that so many people in my area are in to them (So much that they splooge. Yes, it has become masturbatory.).
Deerhoof will always have a special place in my heart, which may sound pretentious to some. And remember, I think they're awesome. Sorry I didn't state that clearly enough. Although I know I didn't say they were one of the quintessential indie bands. That's a bit, if I may,
(MIND-BLOWING WORD ALERT!)
highfalutin'.
-
a band that i like and can't wait for their new album:
TED LEO AND THE PHARMACISTS
AGREED
Then again, I just BTed Hearts of Oak and it was rather disappointing. Shake the Sheets was okay. I hope this new one is just as awesome as Tyranny.
-
BANDS THAT SHOULD HAVE QUIT WHEN THE LEAD SINGER DIED
AC/DC
AC/DC released one of the highest selling albums of all time after the lead singer died, and yes i will concede that some of the mid eighties stuff was...well, complete shite, really, but they have come back with a vengeance recently.

I'm afraid I have to once and for all declare that nothing you say on this page makes you appear sane.

Well, I was about to quote where I said "the new rule: there are no rules," but I accidentally clicked "delete" instead. Well, Johnny, it appears that you win on a technicality.

stuff that i don't think is awful but isn't nearly as good as many people seem to think......ous:
TV On the Radio
The Knife
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Beck
Destroyer
-
Do Make Say Think are consistently good but I have a hard time thinking of any of their albums, taken individually, as particularly "great". Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord is Dead and Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn both come close, though.
Given that, I do think that they have something really incredible in store for the new one, based on the totally awesome title and cover artwork.
-
having heard it i can say you're right. it's not my favorite i don't think, but it is quite excellent. perhaps a little more accesible? there's even some vocals! part of my including them on the list stems from them being a really fantastic live band. live, the trumpet/sax/drums all become more pronounced, improvisations (minor ones, but they're there) in the aforementioned instruments exists, and often songs will be extended to their benefit. i love their album stuff but live they're even better.
-

Dang, what's with all the Coldplay hate? Making too much money for you? Not that they don't make too much money, but they just aren't that spectacularly bad. Parachutes was halfway decent, and everything since then hasn't exactly been an offense to the ears.
