metallica by far, although i can stand '...and justice for all' the album.
when people associate nirvana with the best band in the seattle/grunge period it winds me up. so for that reason that could be put in here.
looks like these two are coming up quite abit ^
Watch the documentary part of teh S&M DVD where you see how that concert was put together, then watch teh versions on MOP and One on there, and then if you still think they are over-rated, I would love to hear what other group you think has ever done anything more complex or better .
i don´t think so, Pantera was the biggest metal band of 90´s, you know what it means: they survived grunge and numetal/hardcore movements... also, they were/are great and well respected musicians too...
overated: iron maiden, 80% of their famous career was because EDDIE...good marketing work fellas....
strange, id say hanson is under-rated for the same reasons as silverchair... they were little kids when they released a "flavor of the moment" album, but then went on to mature into a pretty decent act. hanson's not brilliant, but their later albums were much better than the teenage mmmbop crap that made them famous.

i love people who think that a subjective opinion has any sort of relation to intelligence.
This is SO true. How come everyone has a go at everyone just for saying their opinion... I mean, some people say the Beatles are overrated, but 150million+ records sold tells you that to those 150million fuckers they're obviously not overrated.
As for Radiohead, I'd like to tell you to rot in hell for saying they're overrated, but then again, it's not a fact, it's just an opinion.
I view these threads as a sort of gathering of statistics, and not so much as an open ended debate...
Radiohead is ok.........I just don't get where these analogies are coming from that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread.......Kind of like all of the grandiose comparisons you use to hear a few years ago about oasis being the next Beatles!!!
Those comparisons were made by the Gallagher brothers themselves... Talk about being a megalomaniac.
yes, but there are also many of them will never admit that they are capable of producing anything that is short of genius. kinda like a lot of the morons over at the porch who think pearl jam doesn't have a single song that isn't AMAZING. those fans annoy me by any band, but it seems like the portion of radiohead fans in this camp is higher than most.
HEY! I'm one of the morons at the porch! I take that personally :(

ive listened. they're FAR short of brilliant. but knives out is pretty good. morning bell sucks. and im pretty sure life in a glasshouse is not even a song.
09: The Grateful Dead
(Unlike Pearl Jam, hearing them "live" does not make a difference.. they still sound like a bad country band to me)
Grateful Dead may not be everyones type of music, but that shouldn't qualify them as being overrated....they have put out many great peices of music, with a loyal following that still exists today. They have influenced such bands as String Cheese Incident, who are also vey talented at what they do.
there's your problem, thinking that Creep is the best song they have done...
i guess i'm not seeing or haven't seen all the Radiohead articles, headlines, commercials, etc that you have...they are a good band.
how you left U2 off this list i don't know.
here's my problem ... seeing all the Radiohead articles, headlines, commercials, saying that they are a good band.
IMO, "the emperor has no clothes.."
once again IMO.. U2's only missteps were "Zuropa" and "Popmart"...
They turned it around in 2001 with "All you can't leave behind"..
anyone who hasd watched the "Live from Boston" Dvd can attest to that..
Relax, this is all about personal perspectives..
No one's right.. No one's wrong..

1. Nirvana- They weren't amazingly talented musicians, lyricists, or songwriters, nor were they the fathers of the Seattle music scene.
2. Radiohead- They put me to sleep and bore me to tears. I hate Thom Yorke's voice and their monotonous melodies.
3. The Rolling Stones- Don't get me wrong. These guys wrote some awesome songs. However, I certainly don't think they're all that they're cracked up to be.
4. The Beatles- I just could never get into them.
5. Dream Theater- Sounds like the greatest musicians that ever existed trying to outplay each other...with the exception of the "Awake" album, which kicks massive amounts of ass.
6. Lamb of God- Pantera ripoffs...hands down. Opeth whooped them at Gigantour.
7. Johnny Cash- Sorry folks. I don't see it.
8. Eric Clapton- Good guitar player...but only in Blind Faith and Cream. His solo work sucks in my opinion.

Agree with alot you said, but can't agree that KC wasnt a good songwriter.
Also Dave Grohl is probably my fav drummer.... so yeah, everything but your Nirvana post is good, lol.
