Exactly how many of the 1,492,335 Rolling Stones songs have you listened too?

Not a lot, I'll admit. I even like a couple of them. But I can only stand so much of Mick's voice.

Yeah, I dig the Stones but I can only take so much too. And there is definitely too much.

And another thing: Although I'm a big fan of his music, seeing Bob Dylan in concert was the biggest let-down ever.

Congratulations you fell into the 98% of his concert-goers. The other 2% also belong in the 98% they just have been to enough shows to catch one of the epic ones.

I have a weird relationship with Bob Dylan.

I love love love so much of his music. I really do. But I can only listen to it in short spurts. 2 or three songs in a row, max. After that I just stop paying attention and get irritated.

Weird, eh?

:bitchsmack: Wake up bitch!!




I don't think you have ever actually listened to the Dead because there is not one song in which they express their beliefs or philosophies about anything.  They made it a point not to use their music to express their own political, spiritual or philosophical opinions.  Also, they never claimed to give a rats ass about all the fans who followed the around so faithfully.  Jerry, in particular could not understand why the fans followed the Dead around in the first place.

I am a musician and I hate it when anyone says that any band is over rated.

They are rated by the people.

I actually just think saying a band is over rated is hilarious.

People listen to those bands.

I dont know exactly how to deliver my point because its hard to explain.

Ill just say this.
I dont listen to jefferson airplane, because I dont like them.
The reason people still listen to them may not have anything to do with the bands artistic know how.

To be listened to by a great many says something altleast.

To say something is over rated is funny as hell to me.

People love green day.
Are they over rated?
No, people like them for all sorts of reasons.
I think this topic is silly as hell.

Its sad how some people dont understand how none of this shit is over rated.

Its like a bitch fest of people talking about what they like, and it goes nowhere.

I love victor wooten. Some assface is still going to not think of him as an artist, but instead label him as over rated.

Love art.

Dont critique art unless you are more than a dumbass with a loud mouth.
Ya, I dont like when anyone says anything is over rated, because that shit is silly and not worth discussing.

People like what they like for a variety of reasons.

As a jazz musician, id like to mention that calling something over rated is inherently funny as hell.

Sorry that some people like stuff that you dont like so much!

Lets call something over rated!

List of over rated bands:
The dead
tool
rem
sigur ros
air
phish
beetles
doors
hendrix
spears.....lol
pantera
sepultura
type O
zepplin
shpongle
grant green
benson


The list just goes on and on, and you can never say why aside from your own opinion.

Thats why I think this thread is pointless.

To say something is over rated is an expression of how few people actually understand art.

People understand things in different ways.

Its like that hot girl that people talk shit about because she has a face only a mother could love.

I hate it when people asign value to something just because they experienced it in their own unique way.

I hate this subject.

Sorry some of you dont like certain things!

Get over it, and dont try to make sense of something you dont resonate with by calling it over rated.

I wouldnt listen to them ever again if you payed me.

I think they are the messiest crap rock band I have ever heard.

That has nothing to do with their "rating"............

I really do dislike them, so I thought I would chime in given my last post.
Thats just me though.

To call something over rated just seems silly to me.
Thats all.................

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.




I used to think that too, but then one day it clicked for me. I finally saw what other people saw after 26 years of not liking them. I think they're amazing. But I can identify with your point of view, because it used to be mine.

I think its what they do that makes people like them.

I don't know much about sublime and please correct me if I'm wrong, but they openly smoke bud? Nothing wrong with that...its just why I think so many young rebellious kind of people like sublime.

And the grateful dead. I agree; I don't see what is so AWESOME about their music. I don't think its bad, but nothing amazing. But they openly used psychedelics...so maybe that added to their popularity.

Maybe its just the 'cool' thing to think is good.

The dead is good, because thats fucking good music.

Oh, well thats just my opinion.
Im not some hipster dead fan either.
Im a jazz musician instead.

Listen to the album "american beauty" and tell someone that the dead is over rated.

If you dont like american beauty, you aint my friend.

Its like how some people dont like S. dali.
Fuck em.
Just dont call dali over rated unless you want to look like a putz who uses the term "over rated" way too much.

The dead are what they were.
Most of the people who dont like them are either musically retarded or people who think music should only be made via technical skill.
Jerry was self taught.

The inbetweens............ well I dont know how to help you to listen to the dead or any other good music for that matter.

Haha it has never been cool to like the Dead. :lol:

I think it is just the music for most people.  I'm not a fan either though.  In Sublime's case I think the music is just really likeable on a widespread scale.

I just think calling something over rated is silly as hell.

Its just never ending bullshiting ever after you for some reason call something over rated.

I think football is over rated, but I wouldnt say that because im not a fucking retard willing to waist my time to back that shit up.
Why?
Because football is football, and I dont think im some fucking representative of sports truth.

Thats sort of what im saying about all you fucknards.

The Dead's music and lyrics go deeper than what the ordinary person hears. I would be wasting my time and your trying to explain what I have found out. Many acid trips while listening to the music. Like I said the music is trippy. Thats why I started listening to them. I have many Dead head friends and they have confirmed the hidden messages in the music. Maybe you have to dig a little deeper. Thats cool if you like them. I not hating on you. Many people think the music I listen to is wack.
