    Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
    Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand

    :(

    this is a shot right through my heart. Bee Thousand is one of my all time favorite records. All I can imagine while listening to that cd is Bob Pollard getting really drunk with his buddies one night and recording the whole album in his basement. Bee Thousand is one of the best.

    GBV were one of the best. Man I miss that band.

    I can understand the S & E comment, because even I tend to think that record is just a bit overrated. (don't get me wrong, I love it to death, but when it comes down to it, some of those mid-period GBV records blow it away)

    All new music is overrated because 99% of it isnt even any good at all and I have always found Radiohead's OK computer to be overrated

    The Strokes : Is This It. They ripped off too many chords.

    Im not a fan of that album either, but what does they ripped off too many chords mean?

    That doesnt make any sense to me, if you mean they ripped off a riff then ok but i dunno how chords can be ripped off, lol.

    Dark Side of the Moon isnt overrated. Cant really argue somethin thats been sellin for 30 years.

    Sure you can. If I argued based on how well albums sold then I would have probably the worst taste in music ever. I personally think it IS a little overrated, but it is still really good, my 3rd fave floyd album.

    The Sex Pistols ia GREAT call. That album is just plain bunk.

    Also, I am blasting SLanted and Enchanted so hard right now to spite you guys.

    S & E is one of my favorite summer records.

    I need to listen to that again. It's been a while......

    I love almost every song on the album. MAAYBE not "Chealsea's Little Wrists." It isn't offensively bad but it ain't awesome.

    I still haven't listened to disc 2 on my deluxe edition. The album itself is a monster, let alone 35 bonus tracks (the same goes for CR,CR too)

    the 2nd disc on the Cr,Cr deluxe edition is great. check that out sometime. "All My Friends" is worth a listen alone.

    the live stuff on the S & E one is great, also.

    Dont get me wrong, I like them a lot but wolfmother are over-rated.

    I love the foo fighters, but it got annoying how much hype mainstream had for IYH. 1x1 was better (IMO)

    In Utero is their best, and Nevermind is NOT overrated either. It deserves all the attention it gets because it's a superb album.



    I AGREE!!! Nirvana could do no wrong in my eyes. Same with the White Stripes. I love those bands.

    The only album I have bought that I was convinced would be cool from stupid ass music magazines would be The Vines "Winning Days". I got it having really high expectations and then it was a very huge letdown. So me and my friends taped it to a bomb we made and blew that shit up! Same with Metallica's "St Anger". God that cd blows...............up very nicely hahahaha

    Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

    It has three or four great songs and that's it. The rest of it is easily forgettable.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers - BloodSugarSexMagik

    Seriously, why did anyone ever like Give it Away? Most of this CD is junk besides Under the Bridge and Breaking the Girl.

    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

    Wish You Were Here, the song, is a classic. But this album is less than inspiring. Shine on You Crazy Diamond has like 5 minutes of filler before the song even starts, Welcome to the Machine is okay at best, and Have a Cigar is just plain boring.

    Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction

    This CD has three great songs, but do three great songs make an album? No. The rest of the CD is just bad eighties metal.

    Velvet Revolver

    This album only had ONE good song on it, Slither. What was everything else? I can't even remember any of them and believe me, I tried. I loved STP and I even like Slash, but this is crap. Hopefully their new one will be better.

    Anything by Korn, AC/DC, U2, and the Rolling Stones. All four bands are overrated.

    I wish I had four hands so I could give you four thumbs up for destroying that piece of shit St. Anger.

    that album seems to be universally hated.

    I don't think I've met one person that liked it.

    That might be because it's a piece of shit. Metallica can do better, though I'm starting to doubt that after Load, Reload, that God awful S & M concert, their new cover songs and St. Anger (minus select, very few of them at that, songs from a couple of those albums).

    I dunno...Metallica always sucked in my opinion.....

    (Low blow ;) ) Well I'm a huge Metallica fan, and everyone I know that likes them agrees with me. Their 80s stuff is fun! And yes, the Black Album is very overrated, but still good.

    I have to admit, if i were going to listen to them, it would definitely be their old stuff.

    I just cannot stand how ridiculous they have gotten. Especially Lars. Does the whining ever stop?
