Most over rated bands/singers

F&#*ING MAGNETS HOW DO THEY WORK

I don't think they're overrated. It's a generally accepted fact that they suck.

Kanye West

Hear, hear! I had the displeasure of listening to him on SNL this last Saturday, and his entire act was just gimmicky, gimmicky, gimmicky - all show and no substance (i.e. very little apparent talent). I don't get it.

I decided to comment after all. I think most anyone in rap is complete and total garbage.

Based on your comments in this thread and a few others i'm beginning to think you are my long lost (flat) twin or something.

Not really. If you don't like someone that is not wildly popular or critically acclaimed, they are not overrated. You just don't like them.

A mediocre band selling millions of records is an overrated band. The Beatles are a prime example, it seems most everybody thinks they invented music and can do no wrong. They get credit for things they did not do, from critics and fans. Overrated. They got to a point after a couple albums where they could have made a 50 minute album of Ringo snoring and people would have bought it and called it brilliant. They could do no wrong.

The dollars and cents measuring stick doesn't mean anything. Is Hannah Ray Cyrus a brilliant musician? She makes money.

If I made an album of me singing in the car with the windows down while driving down the highway, and it sold 30 million copies and got good reviews....I would be overrated. Actuaclly if I made an album of anything and it sold one copy, I would be overrated.

This could apply, and be accurate, to many things. I agree, to some point, with many of the bands listed. Commercial success certainly appears to have much more to do with group think than talent or abilitah.

You could even apply this statement to a local football program.

Gotta divert on the Nirvana thing.....great band.

Any band that was good enough to change the face of music is not over rated. Some people may not like what they play, but there is a reason it changed the music sceen. My radio in my truck has never seen a country station, but that does not mean that I think no one in country music good.

This is crap.

Are you saying it's not true?

I was a big U2 fan in the mid to late 80s. Bought my first Strat, delay pedal and Vox amp. Then their music changed and I lost interest...

Axle Rose is one of the biggest live let downs for me.

Axle Rose is one of the biggest live let downs for me.

If you are talking Live let-downs let's include Ronnie James Dio, Texas Jam, 1986ish
