I was listening to the radio today and the station I had on played a bit of The Who's Quadraphenia album.....now I have never been a huge Who fan, I like some of their music but I always believed them to be over rated when held up to the bright light of other bands like the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin.....Pete Townsend to me has to be the most over rated guitar player ever......I don't think I have ever heard him play anything other than power chords and would not know a good solo if it fell on him......the stupid windmill gimmick he always had....nothing more than smoke and mirrors along with alot of noise!:huh:

I am going to take some heat from Who fans I know so I might as well throw in The Greatful Dead as over rated.....I just never got them.....OK Slip...bring the heat!:hihi:

What bands do you think were over rated?

Nirvana....WAY Over-rated.....I think Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters are churning out some better music than they did w/ Nirvana.

Not a big Springsteen fan either....Great Song-writer.....but he needs to get someone else to sing.

I'll even agree with you about townsend being just an average Guitarist....But his talent w/ that band was as song-writer. Entwistle and Moon were the musicians of the Who. Moon could work magic on those drums and Entwhistle's Bass playing, Especially on Quadrophenia was Awesome.

And you mention them not being able to compare with a band like the Stones, as far as musicians they are over-rated too. Keith Richards is also an average Guitarist, Charlie Watts is terrible on the Drums, and Bill Wyman is an average bassist, Ron Wood is a decent guitarist but I think his better days were back when he played with The Faces. I don't think they would make it without Mick Jagger's on stage presence.

should be side by side radio disc Jockey's ...oops too late ,everything has gone digital... that'll be $9.99 please just to listen...
i'd rather buy a guitar or listen to the birds sing or the wind blowing through the tree's before i pay for radio.... :faga:

Led Zepplin #1 over rated band in the world.

Beatles #2 rolling stones were far better.

Not sure if I consider him the worst ever, but whenever I hear Steve Miller, it's like someone raking their fingernails accross a blackboard. Just heard some this morning and I have to swicth the channels immediately.:doh:

the dead overated....:doh: ...bite your lip larry you just can't hear them. i'll be sure to have some in my jeep next week! the most overrated band has to be the rolling stones, piss poor musicians imho.

I guess I need to be smokking pot or dropping acid so I can see the pretty colors!:eyes:

nah.....no drugs needed. just refined audio sensory preception :btu:

I am sure the bands we speak of strike a chord (pardon the pun) with someone...or else they would not be where they are....the Who and The Grateful Dead just do nothing for me but make me shake my head...add Genesis to the list!:tm:

One more for the dead:tm: What the hell, you got over 8600 posts BF Daaaaam!!

Interesting topic, I am way to opinionated on this to really chime in, my post would be too long.
I don't like the WHo at all, but Townsends songwriting is very creative, he's not a lead player at all, but his acoustic work is well played.

IMHO, you cannot judge a great rock band by how good their musicianship is, the Ramones are a fantastic band, but lame musicians. The greatest rock guitar player ever, would be a bad jazz player so you cant base it on that.
AHours, I'm suprised how you feel about the Stones, they should have stopped making music in the mid-seventies, but before that I think they made some of the best R&R ever. Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are the best albums I own.
I really cant say who I think the most overrated band is, but look forward to others posts.

Ok, I thought about it.......my vote is for the Eagles.
Boring, country rock, never as cool as real honky tonk, and never as cool as real rock. Joe Walsh is the coolest cat and I love the James Gang, but the Eagles put me to sleep. DOn Henly makes we want to puke. Thats my vote! :tm:

Sorry Larry Quadrophenia probably my favorite Who album. Ahead of the curve at the time. Most overated lets see you got an hour. Way way too many to list. I do not and have not for at least 10 years listened to any commercial radio stations so I am out of the loop as far as bands now that suck. I do listen to obscure stations that play the kind of music I like but mostly living in the past with my own style's of music on CD's. I will say right now the band that I hate, overrated, more than anything is Jimmy Buffet. That guy sucks plain and simple. I probably say this because the guy I work with at night plays that %$%$%$%$ 8 hours a night 365 days a year. When he told me he got an MP3 player and now he can play like 18 straight hours:doh: I wanted to go over to the lathe and sharpen a piece of stainless and perforate my eardrums. Enough already please. Paul

Yeah, I'll definetely agree with the Jimmy Buffet vote for one of the worst.:tm:

U-2, good but nothing more than that.

Bernzy

Beatles...yech

Stones are better if only for the people playing the instruments

U2 a little better but voice has no range

Aerosmith ........controlled screaming...good guitar work

Who.......some pretty good stuff

Zep....everybody listens just to hear the awesome guitar rips

Jimmy Hendrix....can't sing for chit....not bad on guitar

They all had gimicks though. Outrageous behavior that garnered them admiration with the current generation.

Iron Butterfly.....one hit wonder indagadadavida....kida of sucked though...might be the worst I can think of...

the eagles - just cause of the cost of tickets
U2 - hate the music and the politics
the dead - good band but not holier than the rest
these next 3 are just because
the ramones
twisted (&%^$%$ sister
spinal tap

U2 clearly not overrated but hey, that's why each of us have our own opinions and I just added mine. NOW, let's talk underrated, for me the most underrated band is the Black Crowes.

Ice
:spidey:

Iceman...I will agree with you on that and thats only because they had too much inner strife and they broke up too early...saw them open for ZZ Top and they were great!

maybe i was a little too harse on the stones....larry got me all worked up!

BigFish -

Saw them on Good Friday and Easter Sunday of this year @ Hammerstein, think they went 7 shows straight. The Easter Sunday show, everybody wore white, words cannot describe how much they rocked. But yeah, this thread to me I mean how bad are Zep, ABB, Crowes, U2, Who, Dead, Zep, Marley, Jimmy, Doors, Floyd, all others mentioned compared to today's bands, I mean imo they blow them all away hands-down. Maybe some overated, but they all F'n rock in one way or another. We can talk fav artists albums now, two of my favorittes, "2112" and "Joshua Tree"

I digress,

Ice

The Doors:rocketem:

U2 has to bo the current most overrated.

Lots of others in the past.

IMO most overated band is KISS

they wear make up and Gene simmons has a long tongue thats about all they bring to the table

Also dont like,

Tom Petty

Jimmy Buffet

Bruce Springstein

U2

Fleetwood mac, it goes on

Also "Jimmy Hendrix....can't sing for chit....not bad on guitar"

I couldn't disagree anymore. I love Jimmy, no one plays the guitar like him even today, but hey its all personal opinion

Limp Biskit with Fred Durst

Nirvana definitely was age dependant, I thought. I was a freshman in high school when they first started being noticed, and trust me, they were a BIG deal to a lot of people in that age bracket.

As for the Dead, if you've only listened to studio albums it's perfectly understandable that you don't get it. You have to dig thru the vaults to get to the good stuff. AH, if you ever want really high quality GD, I've got it. My Mom and one of my uncles were tapers and had some shows even the Dead didn't have so I have lots of 1st gen digital stuff that they got through trading.

I was listening to the radio today and the station I had on played a bit of The Who's Quadraphenia album.....now I have never been a huge Who fan, I like some of their music but I always believed them to be over rated when held up to the bright light of other bands like the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin.....Pete Townsend to me has to be the most over rated guitar player ever......I don't think I have ever heard him play anything other than power chords and would not know a good solo if it fell on him......the stupid windmill gimmick he always had....nothing more than smoke and mirrors along with alot of noise!:huh:

I am going to take some heat from Who fans I know so I might as well throw in The Greatful Dead as over rated.....I just never got them.....OK Slip...bring the heat!:hihi:

What bands do you think were over rated?

Ditto, oh throw in U2 TO

Rolling Stones !!!
They have had some great songs but they should have called it quits 30 years ago !!!

RIJimmy,
Gotta get you to an Eagles concert, I think you'll come home with a different take. U2 show this summer was one of the worst I've ever been to.

As for the Dead, if you've only listened to studio albums it's perfectly understandable that you don't get it. You have to dig thru the vaults to get to the good stuff. AH, if you ever want really high quality GD, I've got it. My Mom and one of my uncles were tapers and had some shows even the Dead didn't have so I have lots of 1st gen digital stuff that they got through trading.
oh yeah :happy: :humpty: be coming down in a week or so..

Springsteen, hands down. Saw him at teh fleetcenter a couple years back and could not tell when one song stopped and another started. One 3.5 hour song about jersey girls and cars...

the doors and greatful dead all there songs sound the same

Larry, as a guitar player for the last 40 years I must say that the Who's music is amongst my favorite. Townsends blending of acoustic riffs backed by power chords are thier not for the reasons one might think. True, lots of bands use the power chord as the main body of thier music. Bands in the big hair era like Motley Crue ( who I happen to love) and Ratt etc were no where near the musicians Townsend, Daltrey, Moon and Entwhistle were. The blending of the many tones both acoustic and slung low Les Paul with all knobs on ten were thier to convey the dramatic impact of the song and it's story rather than a 3 knot power chords wall of noise masking the inability and range of some supposed "super Stars". The Who's music is as technical as it comes along with Led Zepplin's. Ever try to keep up with Jimmy Page while playing along? Tough assignment for the best of them.
My fav players were Mick Ronson, Bowie's late lead man who was classically trained, Jeff Beck and PM'S fav, Frank Zappa, really a genuis when you think that he actually WROTE every note played on his albums.

Overated, The grateful dead to be sure, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC-DC and just about all the newer bands.

To be truely great on a guitar you have to be able to capture the emotion of the song, to convey through the notes you play the hurt, joy, emptiness of the piece and make it recognizable as such when you play it.

Pete Townsend to me has to be the most over rated guitar player ever......
its his style...its music not sports....

Slingah...shut up! He sucks! .<period

this thread is way over rated:conf:

in order to be over rated, something first has to be rated. OK, who did the rating?:gf:
Maybe it's a matter of taste.

I don't take offense bigfish because I know some bands are not understood like the Dead, you have to get to know what they are about. They even said once on Letterman "if we ever make a really good album, I'm sure they'll rush out and buy it" . Their live stuff is where their best stuff is, it's an experience thing. If you ever went to a show where they were all clicking together and they transition from China Cat Sunflower toI know you rider, then you'd know what "on" is. They mesh together and it's insane. Now you're making me go put a CD on:jester:


The Stones after 1980 are over rated:yak:

I know what you mean Slip and I am not saying they are not a great band in the eyes of their fans who enjoy their music...all I am saying is that in your own opinion......who would any one individual think was over rated....just meant for some spirited comment from the many music lovers we have. I bet if I had seen the Dead live....(that sounds funny) if I had seen them live I bet I would have thought they were pretty darn good!;)

dats it "."

I'm so bored at work today I'm actually going to jump in on this one. I think Slipknot is dead on ba11s accurate with his response. I think you really have to have some rating criteria for bands before you say one's overrated and another's underrated. I would think things like how consistently they're pumping out new material and not reshuffling the old stuff for yet another Greatest Hits album. Seems like a lot of people are citing specific examples of musicians' talents or lack thereof, that has to be a ratable trait. Someone needs to make up a scorecard.
BUT, I would at least agree with ChrisL and Twisted Sister, as well as most other heavy metal bands. I don't think it takes an ounce of talent to scream and play at a deafening volume while dressed like a sideshow act. Never thought Gun's 'N Roses was worth the price of admission, either. I have not seen a Rappin Mikey performace either so I won't pass judgement. Maybe at the next TFCTFN. Oh wait, sorry, this was rock bands. Hey a good and safe New Year everyone.

this thread is way over rated:conf:

Exactly

Which is why this doesn't qualify for "most over rated" I don't recall anyone evr characterizing them as one of the great rock bands. In fact they were ON VH1's "One Hit Wonders"
Iron Butterfly.....one hit wonder indagadadavida...

The bands MANY think are "great" that I think are over-rated, or suck even:

1) Beatles. Someone earlier mentioned that obviously the Stones were making better/ balls-ier/ less commercial music around the same time. So were Cream, the Kinks, Blind Faith, the Who, & soon after Floyd, Led Zep, Tull, Traffic, & Yes & others. There's a very good reason the teenybopper girls chased & screamed for the Beatles... & not the Kinks nor Floyd! (Who would want to kiss David Gilmour back then?)

2) Van Halen. They suck, he sucks! All Eddie is is a musically inept fast-fretted show- off who can't write a song. IMHO they don't have a single "great" or even very good song musically (or lyrically). Most are downright cheesy & embarrassing (ever really listen to the-- inane-- lyrics to "Panama?") :yak4: And the worst Bass player in Rock history hands- down!

3) U 2. I can't name one great nor musically impressive... nor creative/ unique U2 song. Sunday Bloody Sunday is a "good" song. That's it for them. Instrumentally inept, & cheesy pop sell- outs now since their early/ underground "punk image" days.

4) Springsteen. IF he was ever good... it was because his band had talent. HE sucks! Not one great-- or good!-- song from him in like 15+ years now?? (And the prick is anti- Cop to boot!). CAN I be the only one who thought even "Born in the USA" sucked big- time? I heard one song only from his new/ most recent album: on a 1 - 10 scale, I give it a 0. Embarrassingly bad (I wish I could recall the name-- no I don't!) :uhoh:

5) Green Day. Sorry, as they're hugely popular right now... Are their lyrics a bit edgy & interesting compared to the other drek out today? Maybe... But musically every song sounds alike to me (ok, their ballads all sound alike, and their "rockers" all sound alike!), & little discernable instumental talent going on. Even long- time "hard- core" Green Day fans abandoned the band years ago for "selling out." And they did: all the way to the bank, as their latest release was #4 top seller last year...

I'm done! :pop:

The Dead = Most overated group ever.
The Stones a close second.

1) Beatles. Someone earlier mentioned that obviously the Stones were making better/ balls-ier/ less commercial music around the same time. So were Cream, the Kinks, Blind Faith, the Who, & soon after Floyd, Led Zep, Tull, Traffic, & Yes & others. There's a very good reason the teenybopper girls chased & screamed for the Beatles... & not the Kinks nor Floyd! (Who would want to kiss David Gilmour back then?)

:pop:

Gotta question you on that one.....you may not like their music, but pretty much every band you mention there needs to remember that it was The Beatles that either paved the way or inspired them to be the successes that they were.

Before the Beatles the Rock music in america was that 50's pop and do-wop style of music. The Beatles were the 1st british band to come over and they started the British Invasion that went on for a couple of years after that. Bands like Herman's Hermits, The Kinks, The Animals, The Zombies, The Yardbirds, and Even the Stones came over to america after The Beatles got the masses going on the New British Sound.

Granted the 1st couple of Beatles Albums were very Pop sounding in nature by today's standards, but remember at the time of there Release no one had ever heard of that style of Rock before so it was a totally new sound.

They Released 17 Albums in the US in the 7 years they were together, thats right they formed in 1963 and called it quits in 1970, all that music in a little over 7+ years.....and they didn't even hit America until 1964.

and you may not like their teeny-bopper image of the early years but their later albums were well composed and extremely well written and were years ahead of everything else that was coming out. Albums like Abby Road, Revolver, Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, and Abbey Road.

You may not like their music but you can't say they are Over-Rated. They have literally influenced 100's of the bands that you grew up on and even new bands that are still coming out

well said df!
Revolver is a mind blowing album, not only for the music they played, the Beatles took recording to new heights. Those albums you mentioned are masterpieces. :claps:
Most people credit the dead or hendrix with psychadelic music, but the beatles invented it. They brought the "drug" infllunece into R&R.

(Who would want to kiss David Gilmour back then?)



I would, he was cute. :love:

Hi, Dad F. ! :wavey: Of course I expected a Beatles defense esp., & do understand all of your points... But: really, we're not disagreeing much at all-- except in our appreciation of Beatles music per se.

Your point/ defense is essentially how significant & ground-breaking they were-- but the question was, were they over-rated or not based upon their rep. I never did say they "suck" or were worthless-- like I did the others! But my point was a different one, that I feel you are tacitly agreeing to: that other/ contemporary bands of the time were "better": more talented, less commercial & more creative, better instrumentalists, etc. Sounds like you might agree that bands like Cream, Stones, Kinks, Jimi H., & Led Zep., etc., were "better"/ more impressive, & made "greater" music (as I believe). The debt/ "paving the way" issue is something else... but the best work of Jimi & Stones & Floyd & Cream slays any Beatles songs I've ever heard! ("I am the Walrus!! Koo- Koo- Ka- Choo!", over and over again, annoys me to heck! "We all live in a Yellow Submarine!!"-- ditto! :wall: )

DF: ever heard the Stones "Satanic Majesties Request?" It's essentially their half-tounge-in-cheek tribute to/ parody of the Beatles (musically it's in their style)... and it's an amazing/ awesome album! (Better than any Beatles stuff-- of course IMHO!). First song is one of their all- time best that most know: "She's a Rainbow" The rest of the Album is non- commercial/ experimental/ "concept"... & "psychedelic..." & so the critics & public panned or ignored it. I'd be curious if you've heard it... & how favorably you'd compare it to the "best" of the Beatles?

Final point on the Stones: much has been said about the over- rated talent level of Keith & the band-- that they're instrumentally nothing special/ "over-rated". True fans know who the musically "genius" Stones were-- as these guys produced the Stones very best Albums/ music: I'm talking about Brian Jones (RIP)... & Mick Taylor-- one of the best Guitar Players in Rock history! "Sticky Fingers..." "Goats Head Soup..." "It's Only Rock & Roll..." "Exile on Main St..." THESE are the musically superior Stones Albums, that I claim "better" than the Beatles best! Enjoy! :grins:

Squibby......Hendrix=guitar god

Allman brothers...no one mention the Allman Brothers

I have to chime in again for the Jimmy Page work on Zeps albums, awesome.

I can't read this thread, because every time i read the dead, i cringe. i get palpatations when people say phish. but I guess thats why they make chocolate and vanilla.

I love you SeaBass!!!! :lm: My favorite band of all time!

BTW, during my recent excursion to London, I decided to make a 'pilgrimage' to where "London Calling" was conceived and recorded. Call me a nerd, if you will, but as I was walking home ("on the route of the 19 bus"), I saw one single star in the sky. I was positive it was Joe. :buds:

To be truely great on a guitar you have to be able to capture the emotion of the song, to convey through the notes you play the hurt, joy, emptiness of the piece and make it recognizable as such when you play it.

as a guitar player for the last 20 years, and avid heavy metal fan, the reason for the power chord being the main structure of the song is not a talent issue, its heavy metal, what you want beautiful melodic chords, no, we want fast grinding loud metal. and as for capturing emotion of a song, i fall asleep when i hear the who, you want emotion, lets talk about dimebag darrell (RIP) i want to rip the steering wheel out of my car everytime i hear one of his songs. kerry king, i get so worked up by his riffs that i want to smash my whole car with a baseball bat! now thats emotion:exp: :hihi: i guess what i am getting at is the fact that metal is not a talent issue, ever tried to play a pantera song? probably not, try it sometime.

I can't say thses bands are overrated.....probably all great musicians but i change the station when they come on.....

U2, Greenday,Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith. WAY OVERPLAYED........liked some songs until they played them A gazillion times and ruined it for me.

Who's Next!! Great Album

He doesn't like the Greatful Dead? I guess he really DOESN'T get it !! :)

Anyone who needs convincing that Pete T. of the Who IS a great Guitarist/ musician, here are the cuts to listen to:

--"Pure & Easy," Odds & Sods... --"Naked Eye," same... "Song is Over," Who's Next... "Love, Reign O'er Me," Quadrophenia... "Guitar & Pen," Who by Numbers...

TO name just a few... Enjoy! :kewl:

And, Mugz... Right on all others (Aerosmith hasn't made a great song in 14+ years!)...

But re. Floyd: mainstream (& other) radio plays 6 Floyd songs over & over, ad nauseam! Agreed! But 95% of their greatest music, no ones' ever heard! (On mainstream radio, anyway!)

PLEASE listen to/ try: (for instance):

--"Meddle" (all) ... --"Wish You Were Here " (every song)... "Animals" (all of it!)... --"The Wall" (every song on first 3 sides anyway, except "Another Brick Pt. 2!")... "Atom Heart Mother" (esp. side 2) --"The Final Cut" (all). THEN you will understand why to their fans: there's Pink Floyd, then everyone else in music history! :smokin: Enjoy!

LeCounts: Its "Love Reign O'er Me" and it is an incredible song. Quadrophenia is in my top 5 albums of all time. If one doesn't feel the emotion in Roger's voice they have none.

thx, CC! Can't be 100% accurate all of the time! And you're right! :buds:

LC,
Have to disagree on your Green Day assessment as I would put American Idiot in my top 10, maybe top 5. It is, hands down, the best rock album in years, many years. Musically, you won't find the intricate guitar work or instrumentalism of many, but what you will find is a Stones-esque tightness to the band. Quite simply that band rocks and plays together like few others. That in itself puts them in a league of few.

While some attribute the Stones greatness to Taylor and Jones, and they surely were highly talented and important, the thing that sets the Stones apart is the rythm section. Richards, Watts and Wyman grooved so well together. That feel is the basis for their greatness. Every now and then Richards rises up with some lead guitar work, but its the rythm and blues base from those three that established everything for them.

Green Day is the only modern Rock band that exhibits that feel and tightness. I didn't think it was there with Dookie but with age they have developed. Just because American Idiot sold well doesn't mean they sold out.

Dave Clark Five

The Monkees

Ten Years After

Kansas

Rod Stewart

and I gave up after that.... just too many

--"Meddle" (all) ...

"One of These Days" was the 1st song I ever got wrecked to.....Great Album.
