When I say something is overrated, I guess it really just is a way to say: "I understand this is really popular, ifluential, and GENIUS even, however for some reason I can't seem to "get it" or receive the same enjoyment"
I rarely use the word overrated as it is unfair to most musicians. When the a band such as Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Phish, Les Claypool, The Doors, Ratdog...all these have a following that is undeniable proof of substance. Aying it is overrated is trying to fight it, when it's a losing battle in my book. I don't really care for any of those bands listed to tell you the truth. I get more out of other music, and that is just me.
I now try to avoid using that word simply because all music is going to be underrated or overrated to one person or another (even Backstreet Boys, in my honest opinion) So now I simply state how familiar I am with the band. What I know about the band is a good reflection of what I put into to listening to them; Like I said I will still admit to its quality. Quality doesn't always connect with people.
Bands I have said were "overrated" (quality music I somehow can't get into): The Doors, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles (especially the Eagles; God, Hotel California makes me almost beat my dick for some reason)...That is all I can think of...I'm not hatin' just relatin' that I somehow can't relate.

I think Green Day is over rated, no one I know seems to disagree w/ me yet that band is uber popular for some reason.

This is because of obsessive young girls/teens that like to attach themselves upon a band which is popular in an attempt to gain popularity themselves through greendaypeers.

I was a little harsh in that post, you're right. It's just that i don't get the music of Tool, it doesn't do anything for me. I wasn't making fun of Tool, but rather some of their fans who think everything they do is epic. I realize though that not all Tool fans are like that, and for some the music is very powerful stuff so i gotta respect that.
It's all opinion anyway, and i'm sure you could rip on Dead fans all day long for how ridiculous some of them are. But to me their music is really special, very emotional, and it just puts you in a great place when listening to it. It took me around 4 months of listening to them until finally "got it", just clicked one day. Since then they've been my favorite band.
To some people though, i know the music of the grateful dead sounds like complete shite. That's fine by me, its all preference. Whatever you listen to that can make you feel it in your heart is good music for you.

what do you mean by 'their philosophies'? The dead kept purposefully apolitical, but a lot of the BS of the sixties gets personally attributed to them by association. This philosophy, though, I do agree with.

they kind of shot their wad after that whole "Time of your life" song that was ridiculously overplayed everywhere, even in the Seinfeld finale.
But I still hear them on the radio a lot, and didnt they cameo in The Simpson's Movie?

I didn't read this whole thread, but I want to add my $0.02
THE BEATLES.
IMO, the most boring, most overrated band in the history of music. Every time I say this out loud I get deathstares and start arguments. Just my opinion. Beatles suck.

Absolutely agree.

say what you want about the beatles but this song
as for the dead... for me, this is the epitome of beauty and music. and you're welcome to disagree, but give this groove a change, watch jerry play that solo, during the last year of his life, after all he's been through. humble and divine.
