Most Overrated Bands (1 Viewer)

[V Chip]

I haven't seen a thread about this, so I figured I would start one.

I don't mean "bands you don't like." Backstreet Boys never were rated decently to begin with, so putting them in here would make no sense. I'm talking about bands that have received a decent amount of critical acclaim that you just don't get. For instance, a favorite "Overrated" of this board would be someone mentioning Pearl Jam as overrated, as they have received many accolades for their music.

I'll start

The Doors

Guns 'n' Roses

 

[antipop]

anything LC likes

 

[saintned]

Cheap trick

 

[antipop]

creed

 

[Unknownlegend]

Tool

 

[wamland]

Cream

(anything Eric Clapton)

 

[kewee]

Metallica

AC/DC

Foo Fighters

 

['79 Saints]

Usually the kiss of death for most bands is when they become popular... almost immedately people accuse them of selling out to do so.

Tie between AC/DC and Motley Crue.

Terrible.

>>Tool

How, exactly, would Tool be considered overrated?

>>Cream

I don't know. Their 3 albums were all pretty good (Fresh, Disreali Gears and Goodbye!). Bruce jammed on his 6 string bass, Ginger Baker was a great drummer and Clapton wasn't too bad then. I like them. In fact, out of the blue, "I'm So Glad" popped into my head yesterday, and I haven't heard that in 20 years.

Not to mention Blind Faith. That was when Clapton was still good.

I'll go with Creed as one of the most over rated bands. I'll throw in Korn too.

and worst of all

Grateful Dead and

PHISH

Man i gotta totally disagree with yall on the Doors and Creed. The doors were great and had alot of great songs for the short time they were together. L.A. Woman is one of the best albums i have ever bought, definately in my top 10 albums, every song on there is great.

There are alot of Creed haters on this board. I really like Creed, they had some great albums.

I never liked Blink 182, theyre very overrated
