What popular band do you find overrated?

For me, i never understood the popularity of QUEEN.  Then there's also Supertramp.  Both groups are very talented, but i just cant digest their music.  What do you say?

The Who was a mystery to me as well.

New Order and the Pet Shop Boys

  For me it would be Rush........
  I have had so many friends of mine through  the years force "Exit Stage Left" and other of their "Classic Albums" on me . Those guys could put a speed freak to sleep.... I don't trust any bad who has released tons of songs and none of them are about women.
  U2 ,Coldplay,,and Bon Jovi too .
  I loved that skit on Conan years ago where Triumph The insult Dog ripped Bon Jovi to pieces.
 And I am with you on Queen also Danger.I would rather listen to Led Zeppelin.or The Who. ( Sorry)

I'm not a huge Who fan, but they're pretty bad ass.

I don't understand the last 10 yrs of pop metal... Seether, Trapt, Saliva..Weak shit.

 

 

Damn,

Cold Play
Radiohead

Sound like fucking whiny bitches to me.

I was never a big Queen fan when I was younger but I have watched some amazing live performances on youtube which made me a fan lately.

Can't stand Journey or Doobie Brothers

When I hear The Counting Crows I want to hurt people and destroy things.

Motley Crue

Nickelcrap

The Beatles
Bob Seger

The most overated band in the history of western civilization, i give you Hootie & Blowfish!

For me, i never understood the popularity of QUEEN.  Then there's also Supertramp.  Both groups are very talented, but i just cant digest their music.  What do you say?

 I'd say you're either young or just don't understand music. Those bands (along with the Who) were cutting edge when they appeared years ago. But everybodys taste is different.........

 

 I agree with coldpaly, Hootie, radiohead.........overrated......I liked U2 in their early days.............I just don't get the love for Dave Matthews. I don't find any of his stuff the least bit intriguing or cutting edge.......or good......definitely overrated.

 

 Neither pal.............but keep coming back

I'll be around.

C'mon man.... they put these lyrics to badass rock-n-roll.  There is no mystery here, just absolute greatness:

"I woke up in a Soho doorway
 A policeman knew my name
He said, 'You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away'
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwing punches around
And preachin' from my chair

Well who are you?"

   Turn it up

There's the ever popular for whatever reason....YES (owner of a lonely heart) ughh.  Btw Mugg, im 45 yrs old.  Queen  Radiohead

Lenny Kravitz

 OK..... you're not young.......neither am I. I wasn't trying to be rude earlier.........my apologies. Everyone has different tastes. If you like radiohead, great. I don't.......& I don't know anyone that does, so I suppose my saying they are overrated is erroneous. I don't have anything against them, I just don't find their music all that appealing......just like Dave Matthews.

 

I go much farther than disliking Radiohead, I DESPISE them. Same with Coldplay.

I also am 45, like I said earlier when I was younger I did not like Queen but after watching some live performances on youtube I grew to like them.

I liked early U2 (Boy, October, War) but anything after Joshua tree/Rattle & Hum they lost me. Saw them 2 days in a row at the Coliseum in 88. Great performances both days.

Wasn't a big Who fan but I respect what they did.

U2

You gotta hand it to them though,they tricked millions of people world wide in to rating them highly.In spite of those original songs and musicianship. Man i hope those people wont get fooled again.

Radiohead "The Bends" album is one of the best of all time.  Everything before and after is debatable.

Bon Jovi
