Well there was a journal about Most Underrated Bands Ever? , but now
lets see the top3 Most Overrated Bands Ever!
Ofc here I m talking about the hype etc...
My Top3:
Radiohead
My heart is almost bleeding while i write these sentences. Surely one of my top3 favorite bands, thats why so hard.
Nothing against them, but nowadays its became a style to be different from others, and Radiohead sometimes making
music acceptable by noone (need to admit it). With such a great titles like "Ok Computer" and "The Bends", its hard
to make again decent level albums (for example i dont really like the new album). The hype what they got now is
not deserved, made by MTV and other shits, most of the Radiohead fans dont even know the old albums (I suppose).
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Well they have like 1 thousand songs, and i know them all, but only have 2 what i like: "Otherside" & "Californication".
Its a shame how can they be so fucking popular, simply cannot understand it. Same goes to Coldplay, but they are not in
my top3 this time.
Metallica
Maybe some fan of them will flame me like hell, but wtf please. Everytime i cross a road i see at least 3 ugly rocker
with Metallica title on their shirt. They have fucking average music, everyone can name better bands in their genre,
but still Metallica is the most hyped. Worlds number 2 secret. Of course the 1st is: "Why foonr listens so much Rilo Kiley?"
Well as you see i tried to be objective so thats why i put Radiohead 1st, despite of they are one of my favorite bands.
Agree or not? Better ideas? Shot here!

Sum41 also overrated, blink182 was better
placebo
Black Sabbath
They've existed for over 20 yrs, and were/are a founding band of metal so pls.... They've done way more than Linking Park for music...
I could name Blink182, Sum41, Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Limp Bizkit, Pink and so many others, which are basically a commercial bullshit and nothing more.
And speaking of Metallica and RHCP, imho they are still very popular because of their past albums, which were really great. Not like the crap they make now (nowdays these bands make music more appealing to younger genereation who know nothing about what is good music or good lyrics)
i think u were listening to the commercial songs only..
there are a lot of very nice songs.. especially tracks of the old albums..
Also, name atleast ONE interview where someone names Blink-182 as a band from which they've influenced.
And please, metalcore DEFINATELY have nothing to do with Punk Pop.
You only like two of the RHCP's songs? Under the Bridge? Scar Tissue? By the Way? None of them do anything for you?
Who cares what Metallica fans look like, talk about their music more please. I personally don't think they are overrated. They've never been a main stream band like RHCP. They've had good record sales but they've never won any popularity contests.
Tokio Hotel
Kotiteollisuus
JULMA HENRI :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
one example: billy talent..but there are many many more
They fuckin suck dicks !
Talking bullshit all night long "Eh, I've got money. Eh, I want to fuck her. Eh, look at my car. Eh, I aint got a brain."
I think a big part of his brain flew away as he got hit by the bullets. (50 cent)
They ruined hiphop FFS, I HATE EM !!!
Lupe Fiasco ftw!
Shitallica
Limp bizshit
Minor threat (Yes, they are overated)
There's a pile more but I can't be bothered to name drop them all
radiohead metallica and rhcp just make amazing music, nothing overrated right there. Ofcourse the old albums of rhcp and metallica are way better then the latest ones, but still, they ment alot in music history (At least in the eyes of millions of fans). Also they already exist for a long time, so ofcourse they have good and bad albums. Overrated bands are the ones who just have 1 or 2 albums, have some #1 hit, and everybody is convinced they rock...while they actually dont cook very interesting stuff at all.
Bands like tokio hotel, linkin park (yes trevize, their first album was "okay", but nothing more then that), and sum41 etc are way more overrated then the 3 you named.
It's not artistic, just boring, repetitive and talentless

so gtfo with your "Metallica is overrated" opinion....
and i can't say which one is overrated and which one is not... but alteast Metallica rox
discuss
If you wanna pick overrated bands, just look at all the newschool crap. I haven't bought an album in ages, cause most newschool bands can't even make one good album. And even if one album is almost decent, the second one is either exactly the same as the first or fails entirely.
Np: Metallica - One
EDIT: NICE DELETING YOUR COMMENTS QPR
Still Metallica and RHCP are somewhat overrated, yet not nearly as much as so called "contemporary" bands like LP for example (disregarding the fact they make pretty decent music).
RHCP, great band and if those are only songs you like, I doubt the objective line of your journal. And what I've heard they're absolutely great live.
Metallica, they've done a lot but are still hyped too much.
To name couple of artists: Rihanna, MTV Rap & R&B (although they kinda sound the same in MTV), and let's say My Chemical Romance, Dimmu Borgir, and the emo band which had monkeys on their video what is it?
I based my reply on the examples he gave. I never said what my favorite Radiohead album was. ;)
Also, use the reply button, you lazy cock-ring!
linkin park
slayer
and another 3000 bands
They're one of the best industrial metal bands ever, especially "Demanufacture" is fucking awesome tbh.
As for overrated bands who are still performing, I'd say Green Day. I bought "Dookie" when I was like twelve years old, on cassette, and it was good fun at the time. They've been writing the same song, with the same snot-nosed vocal delivery in the ten years since. Plenty of style, very little substance.
coldplay isn't overrated lol..
For example: linkin park, billy talent, hoobastank, sum41, fall out boy, the rasmus, papa roach
Some of them make decent music, but it isnt that special at all. You cant really say these bands (who are also very known) deserve to be famous and loved for their music, while you call bands like radiohead overrated
Fact is all the bands mentioned as overrated have ment a lot in their respective genre's and have made innovative music. The bands mentioned on his last.fm list have innovated very little.
i dont care about the flame, not that what i wanted to know
the journal asking your top 3 most ... bands.
all those ppl who started to flame me coz the bands i stated, are wrong about the aim of this journal. yes, my english sucks.
Everyone got his own, and he asked for everyone's opinion.
If u don't care about his opinion » /ignore
What's the matter ?
Surprising
What's wrong with the Germans
you're bitter, I'm tired
Metallica destroyed music, Lars is a complete cunt and Kirk Hammett should have stayed with Exodus? 8-)
Kirk was better in Exodus than shitallica, anything post black album sucks, Lars is a grade A cunt who can't drum for shit (or at least lacks style with his same fills and beats) and the whole piracy thing is a yawnfest.
EDIT: damnit and my slow reply skills
i hate queen's music but suppose theyre good... half of the world is still putting their head up that leather-wearing weirdo's ass, thats VERY overrated
fanboy

and i lol'd about soad and metallica being overrated

my chemical romance
emo hair + shit whiny music + tight pants = crap
great example of a crappy & overrated song ;D
well Radiohead... maybe a little bit overrated, tbh I thik their music is a little boring and not too innovative. But RHCP is fucking amazing! Their style (funk + rock + rap + ?) is very innovative imo (has not been there before). Their music changed a lot in the last centuries, and I still like all of their styles. there are maybe 1 or 2 songs from the first albums I don't really like, but the rest is just great. :<
some of the most overrated bands IMO: Linkin Park, tokio Hotel (lol), Iron Maiden, Metallica,...
i mean for example at last.fm they are not overrated.
edit: before u think i like them, not, they are shit.
well, I don't think anyone over the age of 16 listens to them, but still, how could they get all those awards and stuff..
And I would want to whine about the popularity of old bands, but then I will have too many people on me!
so these bands i strongly dislike:
queen
deep purple
iron maiden
beatles
pink floyd
..
whats wrong :s
wtf
you could do the same with "what are your 3 favourite bands and 3 most hated"
I love the peppers. They indeed have a lot of songs, but more than half of them are amazing
WestFUCKINGlife
Pete Doherty
Muse is over-rated too.
What bout coldplay they are WELL Over rated imho
FULLY AGREE! (though i rly like metallica)
ha lol, i dont like the same music as you and still we have this in common, has to mean something :D
And to ppl that are saying :ITS A MATTER OF TASTE! Hell no its not! I like all three of those bands, but i still think that they are overrated and that just too many ppl who know shit about music idolize these bands.
