I've been playing music for about 10 years, and I started learning to play guitar 8 years ago. It wasn't very long before most of the music I was listening to at the time (including Sublime) lost it's magic and mystique.
Before I could play guitar I would hear songs and be amazed and think to myself: how the hell do they do that?? But now that I know how the hell they do that and I can do it myself its hard to be amazed at most popular music.
I don't think Sublime is overrated but I do not think they were exceptionally talented musicians. Brad's singing was top notch and soulful but his guitar knowledge seemed kind of minimal. The bass player seemed to be the most solid player in the band. Oh and in case anyone doesn't know this Brad didn't play the solo's on the Sublime albums. I don't remember who they had do them but I'm sure you can find his name in the CD booklet somewhere.
Also I don't think anyone who doesn't play an instrument or know anything about music theory is qualified to judge where a musician is talented or not.

Get real high and listen to Terrapin Station... if you haven't already, and if you don't dig the Dead after that, then you probably won't ever
I wasn't into Terrapin Station when I first heard it. The song that really got me into the Dead was Ripple.

that's a good one as well... Sugar magnolia, casey jones, and one toke over the line were the songs that I was introduced to GD with... then got into eyes of the world, the wheel, and when I paint my masterpiece. now i likes it all!

It's funny that I've never really listened to the Dead yet. I'll have to look into them.

kiss is the most over rated band of all time in my eyes . i could get why some people might not like TOOL but they are very tight an amazing live.but of todays music almost everything new on the radio sucks ass . i m waiting on a new police or zeppelin album or maybe talking heads could get back together.any way it all really comes down to everyones taste an if your not a fan of tool try listen to perfect circle very deep songs

i think tool is quite over-rated.
grateful dead however are excellent, they are my favorite band. it's cool if ya don't understand them, cus they aren't for everyone. But for the people they are special to, their music is magic.

I listened to the Dead many times sober and high and I disagree with a lot if not all of there beliefs. The music is vary trippy but their philosophies are wack. I also believe they don't give a rat's ass about the fans who wasted life following them. The Beatles were a band that jumped on the psychedelic bandwagon at the right time just to make millions.

I tend to just kind of ignore the bands I think are overrated, it's pointless arguing about a band you don't like with someone that absolutely loves them. There's plenty of artists that are responsible for inspiring countless people after them and for that reason I respect them despite not enjoying their music.
Whereas there are a lot of groups/artists that are just basically being lazy bastards and writing the most middle of the road generic shite possible, both rock and rnb are swamped with groups that could for all intents and purposes just be one group. I know all genres are like this to an extent but I guess it has something to do with the currently popularity of rock and rnb.
Anyway I think it's best to enjoy what you like and not worry so much about other peoples opinions, even trying to encourage people to broaden their horizons rarely works when they talk as if they know about the music when clearly they don't - happens to me all the time with hip hop.

Also, Tool was mentioned a bunch of times in this thread, which im glad to see. It seems most people on the shroomery beat off to lateralus, especially when it's in the "divine order" lol. I'm glad to see that doesn't hold true for everyone....
