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


    You should have been there. The artwork lit up in flames and pieces of that shitty ass St Anger flew all over and at least 30 feet in the air. It was a very good moment and almost made buying that piece pf crap worth it. haha

    Well I dont know how legal it is to describe how to make bombas over the inter net so I wont haha. But if you have ever messed with Piccilo Petes (a fire cracker) and a water bottle then you know what I am talkin about. I hate St Anger. It was very satisfying to blow it up. And if their next one sucks............it will have the same fate hahaha

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

    The first four albums were very good, Master Of Puppets was pretty much a masterpiece, and I really loved Garage Inc. too.

    They did have some moments of thrash brilliance, though (arguably when they were still using Dave's old riffs?)

    Everything they ever did is overrated. They were the 5th best grunge band behind PJ, STP, Soundgarden, and AIC. This is not to say their music is terrible i really think its quite good in fact better than most shit that comes out today but it saddens me to know that the best bands of this era are always overshadowed by cobain and co. And if I may add a new aspect to this post I would also like to award cobain with the most overrated guitarist honor. What the fuck was rolling stone thinking???? this guy is just not good.

    he wasn't technically gifted but he revolutionized how the guitar could sound in pop music in the 90s. i think for that he deserves some cred.

    i agree that nirvana is overrated. did they make 2 or 3 really incredible albums? yeah. are they the greatest band ever? no. is STP better than them though? no

    when all is said and done, i still return to 'in utero' as one of my favorite albums ever

    Or some, like me, would say it's their best album.

    That's the problem, It was their best album

    I haven't seen Wilco mentioned here so I'll have to nominate them... specifically the album with the egg on it. I didn't get it.

    Somebody explain the huge success of Franz Ferdinand to me... please.

    That, and Coldplay (sure, they are an OK band, but who else gets away with doing the same thing over and over and over? Well, apart from Franz Ferdinand ;))

    Alexisonfire is pretty horrible shit everybody I know seems to like.

    Also, somebody has probably already said this, but Pearl Jam's Ten. It's a good album, but I find Vitalogy to be a lot better, and underrated. At least, with the general public, that is.

    Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon & The Wall. Awesome albums, but Pink Floyd does have other albums besides these two.

    well, i just think that he brought "punk rock"-sounding guitar into the mainstream by mixing it with very accessible songs. before nirvana, mainstream pop music or hard rock was characterized by really long and elaborate solos and kurt brought a punk rock attitude to his playing. it changed the course of pop music in the 90s because pretty much everyone who was hoping to be successful after nirvana copied that general style of guitar playing

    Now I think Trout Mask Replica is a complete masterpiece. It's underrated, in my book. But different strokes for different folks.

    I guess as long as you caveat it with mainstream, I can accept it then

    Just read this whole thread and didn't see one mention of Dave Matthews Band. Blah! Thinking about them makes me mini-puke in my mouth. Any album by them is overrated.
