Ditto. I could say the same for Iron Maiden. High pitched male singers are awful sounding to my ears.

And echoes with the sound of salesman Of salesman of salesman!

Try and get that one out of your head!

I think it's generally accepted that Roy was one of the most amazing guitar players of the last 50 years.

I'm so sorry God gave you "Made In China" ears. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Not on this forum.

Primus Sucks

Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 > Appetite for Destruction

Alice in Chains blows away Nirvana and Pearl Jam

Hair metal gets undeservedly beat up by people because they think it's cool to do so.

Tool and Pantera are two of the most overrated bands in Metal.

Immortal “Sons of Northern Darkness” is the best Metal album this century so far.

Tommy Bolin and Steve Morse were Deep Purple’s best guitarists.

Gentle Giant and Caravan were the most interesting bands of the 70s.

“Presto” was Rush’s most musically accomplished album.

“Exciter” was Depeche Mode’s best album.

Sugar “Copper Blue” and Ween “The Mollusk” are the best albums of the 90s.

The best Psychedelic bands from the 60s-present were/are mostly from Austin.

Johnny Thunders and Richard Hell were the coolest non-Jazz musicians NYC ever produced.

Oh yeah!

I love this video of him and Glen Campbell; it is absolute peak-level musical accomplishment and interplay regardless of genre, almost certainly a higher level of virtuosity than Slash is capable of (despite him being a truly great Rock player).

The Beatles aren't that good.

Rolling stones are shit

Ace of base rules

Wang Chung is better than madonna.

Love the riff at 2:20

I say this as someone who almost exclusively listens to hip-hop and R&B...

Phil Collins is a musical genius.

Ice Cube's cousin Del the Funkee Homosapien is the more talented of the two. In fact his 1993 album No Need for Alarm is one of the most criminally underrated hip hop albums of all time.

Appetite for Destruction saved rock & roll.

Sober Trent Reznor and sober Robert Smith never wrote a good song.

Tupac and Biggie both are remembered as being much better than they really were. Not that they were in any way untalented or didn't make some great music. But they weren't what we made them posthumously.

Rage Against the Machine's eponymous first album is a top 10 album of all time.

Smashing Pumpkins got the rep and jest that Pearl Jam deserved.

Of DFW area bands, Tripping Daisy deserved the attention and fame that the Toadies enjoyed.

I've been buying up some hip-hop collections lately and I got that album in one a couple weeks back. I haven't listened to it yet though. I'll have to give it a go. Love me some Ice Cube.

It's different from Cube. He did not go in the gansta rap direction. He caught onto some early skateboard videos and was big in the Thrasher mag crowd. It's more pure hip hop.

I love Depeche Mode. Without shame. I love 80s New Wave overall, but DM is my favorite of them all. I know we are supposed to like The Smiths and The Cure and New Order more. I love those bands, too. But not as much as DM. Fight me.

I liked Mistadobalina, but that's the only track of his I remember.

Oh, dig into No Need for Alarm. Mistadobalina is early, silly stuff in my opinion.

Unpopular you say? I'm about to be the most unpopular person here.

Japanese Death Metal.

ikd-sj -- Rum Raisin

I fucking hate GNR because of Axl
Same band with Scott Weiland = Amazing

Absolutely, no question.

(Bass player and guitars not too shabby either!)

My vote would be Jerry Reed.

Geddy Lee’s voice reminds me of when my daughter was pre pubescent and whined that she was bored.

Rush is one of those bands that I really like what I like (very little, actually). But really hate what I don’t like. I can’t just put it on and let it play.

Billie Eilish is straight fire.

Jurassic Five is one of the top five rap groups in rap history so far.

Van Hagar is just as good as Van Halen.

Justin Bieber’s music is better than you think it is.

‘Shattered’ is The Rolling Stones’s best song.

‘Art School Girlfriend’ is Stone Temple Pilots’s best song.

The Human Beat Box was better at beatboxing than Doug E. Fresh.

The Doors are the most overrated band of all time.

You listen to Justin Bieber’s music?

I listen to *almost* all kinds of music out there. Variety is the spice of life. Rock, rap, hard rock, top 40, dance, pop, classical, etc.

And yes, The Biebs has some decent stuff.

Your not the first to say it’s decent but I still avoid listening to it.

I have a hard time calling Iron Maiden metal - it’s just not heavy enough. It’s like hard prog or something.

Why are the so huge? It’s 75 percent Eddie, 15 percent The admittedly badass name of the band, and the other 10 percent their first 3 albums.

The Smith's are OVERRATED

I'm already tired of listening to the Led Zeppelin pin.

Abolutely...and so was that guy from smokey and the bandit!

Mac millers album circle is one of the most underrated of all time.

Rock started to die in the mid 90s with the advent of all the boy bands and and teen pop queens and when teens started to embrace crap rap.
Not to say that there is not some good music in those genres, but percentage of crap vs. gold nuggets is about 90/10.

But can anyone here name any song produced in past 25 yrs that will be in the zeitgeist in 5 to 50 yrs later.
Of course most everyone here on pinside is an old fart with average age of 50 yrs old.

I appreciate what they did, but I somewhat agree. And I love The Smiths. But Morrissey’s solo catalog is as good if not better. In fact, I think I do prefer his solo stuff in whole. How Soon is Now is damned near phonic perfection as far as I am concerned, but other than that there’s nothing The Smiths did that wasn’t met or surpassed by Morrissey on his own.

I would put them in the top 3 most overrated, with U2 and The Beatles.

There are very few bands where I end up loving more than two albums. Either they keep sounding the same and it gets old, or they change enough that it’s not the same music you fell in love with.

Every one of the six albums from The Mars Volta is incredible. When I try to use music recommendation services to find similar artists, I don’t like any “related” bands. I’ve only ever heard a single track that reminds me of them at all: 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson.

TMV isn’t for everyone. It’s often very intense, and the lead vocals are an instant turnoff for many. I’ve only ever met two people who also love them...though their first album sold 500,000 copies.

Those guys are geniuses and I can’t find anyone else like them.

Iron Butterfly's 'Metamorphosis' is also one of the most underrated albums of all time. The 14 minute long 'Butterfly Bleu' is superb. Crank it up.

People using terms like "overrated" often have bad taste in music or are insecure in their taste. Like what does that even mean? "Too many people like a thing I don't like!" Like, hey, who cares? I don't care about k-pop, it doesn't mean it's overrated.

I would agree with this. I mean, everything on the entire fucking planet is both overrated and underrated depending on whom you ask.

When it comes to music, saying things like “the Beatles / u2 / Pink Floyd / stones etc” are overrated is completely fucking pointless. These bands are part of the fabric of modern society, they are bigger than Jesus, and some contrarian saying they are “overrated” is pretty ridiculous. They’ve sold hundreds of millions of albums and concert tickets, touched the lives of billions of people and their legacy has survived and thrived for decades.

Just say you don’t like them. It doesn’t make you sound smarter or more Clever to claim Elvis is “overrated.”

It’s like saying air or water is overrated.

An Orgazmo reference! Wow! I have truly seen it all on here today!

Dumbest comment of the year.

Danny Kirwan > Lindsey Buckingham

I watched them live in Oslo once. 10-15 years ago. Good times.

Crazy Levi is WAY overrated on Pinside.
