    Rico?!?! You just need to be educated, my friend. ;)

    In all seriousness though, U2. I have tried. With the exception of The Joshua Tree (very accessible for anyone) they just don't click with me. Nothing special about them in my eyes. I don't doubt that they are awesome live, and Bono may do some "good" things with his position, but their music is just a bore. I feel like the U2 songs I've heard on the radio and by happenstance are enough for me to get the picture...

    I can understand if you don't like him, but to call him overrated baffles me.

    Agreed, the guy had some serious talent back in his day.

    The Mars Volta

    Somewhat agree with this. They have some songs I like, but most of it just sounds like chaotic noise. However, I was impressed with them the first time I saw them live in 2003 opening for A Perfect Circle. I had never heard them, so it was a nice introduction.

    Muse - his voice actually makes me want to break shit (and not in a good way)
    Radiohead - the usual complaint: I liked them until OK Computer then I just tuned out
    Dylan - I can't stand the guy's voice, I really like some of his songs, I just tend to prefer cover versions by better singers!
    U2 - just uuurgh

    I saw them the day REM played in Buenos Aires, the same date, never got so bored with a guy who can actually play the guitar... very talented, but boring...

    why sorry? it's your opinion, some may not agree, I do agree, saw him in Buenos Aires in 2008, never felt so ripped off in my life, his voice sucked, it was chilly that evening, and kept on smoking all night long, he was paying more attention to the smoke than to what he was singing, if we can call that singing, and he only played the guitar on the first 6 songs, then he played keyboards until the end of the show...


    AND THE PEOPLE WERE HAPPY FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!!!!!

    As a songwriter, Bob Dylan deserves all the credit he gets and then some. And that's where the majority of his praise is directed (from personal observation and readings).

    I love The Rolling Stone's songs and think they put on a great show, but, personally, I think Jagger's voice is not very good. I still love them though.

    U2-- I like U2, but in my music collection, I have the Greatest Hits from 1980-1990 and One and that's all I need. I just cannot connect on that other level with them.

    On my list (I would have to be paid to see these bands in order to justify wasting a few hours of my life):

    Nirvana
    Muse
    Metallica
    Creed (comeback tour......really?!?!)
    Nickelback
    Arcade Fire
    Billy Joel
    (already had Coldplay and Taylor Swift down before)

    Shocked to see Zep on here but just goes to show musical preference is solely based on the individual.

    In all seriousness though, U2. I have tried. With the exception of The Joshua Tree (very accessible for anyone) they just don't click with me. Nothing special about them in my eyes.

    I saw U2 twice live and own the Vertigo tour DVD. Yes, they put on a very, very, good concert, but..it is truly a "show" for lack of a better word..Choreographed moves, dances and walks, choreographed poses..choreographed rock star poses by Bono in the exact same spots during the exact same songs every night. These things don't make it bad..they were great shows and I would definitely 100 percent see them again..but I dunno there just seemed to be something less authentic about it. Still enjoy a lot of their albums though, although my wife can't stand Bono. I listened to them a lot in college, although really haven't given anything other than Joshua Tree or Acthung a spin in a couple of years. Their songs were great drinking songs for me..would always put on U2 at the bars! :lol:

    I only really like the joshua tree and Actung myself. After that it's just singles for me. not an overrated band necessarily, but those two albums, I really dig. Perhaps, seeing them live one day, will change that though. :P

    Good god, I certainly hope not. First, because they suck. But more importantly, because I really like Alter Bridge and don't want that fucker Scott Stapp doing anything that might threaten to break them up.

    The rest of Creed is alot better off without Stapp. Alter Bridge is great!

    I read several months ago about the possibility of a Creed reunion, but given that I have spent most of my adult life trying to avoid that band, I have not heard any updates. Are they really gonna do this?

    Say it ain't so! :lol:

    the reunion already happened. The way it seems to be is Alter Bridge will continue to be a band and tour, and they will also do Creed shows and albums. I have seen Creed (It was back at a festival in 1998. Our lady Peace and Foo Fighters followed them as headliners.). Anyway, The new Creed album was meh I listened to it why not, but Alter Bridge is the better band for sure, and they are not going anywhere. I think Creed just reunited because Scott Stapp can't do anything else that would give "success" (I use "success" sarcastically :lol: ).

    Hey...thanks, red mos! I appreciate the update! As I said, I have spent a lot of time avoiding Creed...but once Alter Bridge formed, I really got into their music and have all their records. I am very glad to hear that Alter Bridge is going to remain intact and that Creed is taking second chair to Alter Bridge when it comes to the non-Stapp members of Creed.

    Myles Kennedy is a good singer and I think the rest of the guys are better off with him and Alter Bridge.

    And yeah...it's painfully obvious that Stapp is all about re-forming Creed...since he's got nothing else. I think it's GREAT that the rest of them moved on without him...and have actually done better without him!

    This makes me very happy! :lol:

    Appetite for Destruction is an album I can listen to but that's about it with GnR.
    I've check out Beatles songs and they do not do anything for me.
    Metallica are to heavy metal what AC/DC are to hard rock.

  • Chris Cornell - Never liked him, never will.

    U2 - Utter shite fronted by a egomaniac.

    Radiohead - See above comment re; U2.

    The Who - Just don't get it.

    GnR - Axl Rose's vocals are fingers down a blackboard to me... Much like Cornell.

    Muse - Don't even get me started on that steaming pile of...

    As far as him being overrated - well I don't really get it, but I haven't tried very hard either. I think his son's band was very underrated though. Especially their two completely ignored 00's albums.
