Who is the most over rated band in history?
    #8368359 - 05/06/08 10:49 AM (15 years, 10 months ago)

I heard this on the radio this morning, and figured this was a good topic..

My vote for the most over rated band in history is The Grateful Dead.  Now before i start a riot, and some of you grab your torches let me explain.:rotfl:

I have been to two dead shows in my life, and the few days leading up, and  the parking lot on the day of the show  was a great experience. But their music to me just is not that good.  I think the Dead musically was far overrated. So thats my pick. :gd_icon:

What band do you think was over rated?

Simple Plan.

I can't possibly conceive that a being with an amazingly evolved brain could like something as insipid and talentless as this fucking shit.

Biggest turd to come out of Quebec's ass.

Yeah they were over rated but they covered well with their following,.... but for a more recently over rated band Id have to say Green Day or anything related to Gwen Stefani...Sell outs. Pretty much anything on TV or currently being pushed in the media is over rated these days, I hate 99% of new music.


--------------------
While driving my overpowered car around tight corners like a maniac all my friends yell out. Hey man slow down, we might Wreck. I reply, Shut up, I drive like Dale Earnhardt. They all look around at each other and laugh. Then one asks me. Hey wait, isnt he dead? Well yeah he is I said. Then I drive like Junior I mumble, while I promptly slow down.

I actually mean another thing other than what you are thinking I am saying. Get it? Good because that's what I meant".

simple plan is not worthy of music history. Im gonna go with guns n roses.

Edit: i change my vote to kiss:thumbup:

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

I also agree about the Greatful dead, and phish....in fact...getting sleepy...just thinking about....it..zzzzz

I know its taboo around these parts, but I actually agree with you on it being The Dead. Their music just doesn't do it to me. I went through my Dead phase, but it didn't stick. :shrug:

I ma grateful for what the did with the counterculter movement. :grin:

Actually, Sublime ripped off every good raggae artist known to man. They get my vote for most unoriginal.

Every Punk Band, EVER.

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus

I strongly disagree.

But you have the right to think they are overrated.
