most overrated band???

[RbElImInAtOr]

who do you think is overrated as a band or as an artist. in my oppinion i think the beatles are very overrated. i dont like any of their songs. i dont understand why everyone thinks they are so great

[Daniel_]

Not being a hate boy, but I really think Justin Bieber. Hes not as good as people really say, and if it wasn't for all the 12 year old little girls he wouldn't be famous at all.

And after him, I'd agree with you about the Beetles. I guess i see why other people really love them, but I mean, theres just better music I could be listening to.

[msbrooklyn]

the beetles, justin beiber AND metallica. i know im gonna get a lot of crap for saying metallica but hey, disturbed does it better :P

[Aves]

I'm not a big fan of Metallica. They have their good songs, but not AMAZING in my opinion.

[laurita_21]

OMG! The Beatles are amazing thank-you-very-much.
And I agree with Daniel! Justin Bieber. But if we're talking about bands, i'd have to say... idk. I'll come back when I think of some

HURR THE BEATLES ARE OVERRATED

Not to be a Beatles fanboy, because I'm not, but the Beatles are certainly not overrated. You'd be hard-pressed to find a band that's had as great an influence on modern music as they did. Sure, some Beatles fans are overzealous, but the overall general opinion on the Beatles — that they were a record-breaking band that helped redefine what rock music is — is completely accurate. Saying you may not like any of their songs is no premise for saying a band is "overrated". The Beatles have stood the test of time, their influence is judged by the masses, not just one person who doesn't particularly like them. Besides, judgement on a band also comes from how revolutionary their actions were, not just if their music "sounded good". The Beatles are partially responsible for such staples of rock music like the concept album, different instrumentation, complex time signatures and alternative recording techniques. They were one of the bands that expanded the genre, popularizing psychedelic rock and art (or album) rock, something that was mastered in the 70s by progressive bands like Pink Floyd. Also, don't criticize the Beatles if you can't even fucking spell the band's name, goddamn. It's B-e-A-t-l-e-s, if you can't get that right I don't see why I should even consider your opinion.

Also, please, take a look at the list and weep. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artists_who_have_covered_The_Beatles) As well as this. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles'_influence_on_popular_culture) Oh look, I have more. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles#Musical_style_and_evolution)

A band being overrated is not about whether you like them or not. This is not about "oh, I don't like any Beatles songs, therefore they're overrated!" It's about their influence on music as a whole. Were they progressive and experimental or did they just do it for the money? That's why The Beatles, The Doors and Pink Floyd are not overrated and Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers and every other sellout of today's music are. "Oh, everyone talks about Bach, but I don't like any of his music! He must be overrated!"

Metallica is slightly overrated, but their early stuff definitely helped define the thrash metal genre. Modern mainstream artists are definitely the most overrated.

[Perseus]

Metallica and Nirvana. They both suck, but yet everybody thinks they're good. I don't get it.

[laurita_21]

The Jonas Brothers!! HAHA! They don't get as much attention but they get more attention than they should.

Nice try, but I'm not falling for that.

My opinion still stands. You know who's really overrated? Avenged Sevenfold. If every one of your albums is whored out for the money and they all sound exactly the same, that isn't progressive.

Avenged sevenfold, Shinedown and Green day but thats my opinion....

Indeed. Avenged Sevenfold is ruining metal.

We should make a new genre of music: "Cashcore". All the bands and artists who make their music for the money (and nothing but the money) fit into this genre.

Not meaning 2 burst ure bubble but the point of a band is 2 create and play good music. The Beatles did neither.

how are avenged sevenfold overrated

[scuba steve]

Metallica I would say are the most overrated band in the history of rock - yea time to get Jack Black on your ass!

Everything they have done in my personal opinion Megadeth have done better, hell their entire first album was almost wrote by Dave Mustaine (the initial lead guitarist for Metallica but kicked him out for drug problems, whores and other related 80's rocking shindigs.)
Dave Mustaine has also been voted on many ocassions to be the greatest guitarist of all time but still they are below the spotlight of Metallica whom if put in comparison of musicianship agains Megadeth just fall into mainstream as the only real member of the "big four" of thrash the average man knows about.

By whoring themselves out for money on every album they've ever made. They have made no attempt to sound different.

They suck dick, and everyone thinks they're good. And they fucking stole Mike Portnoy.

Some people already mentioned here are overrated, but just to mention something different, Michael Jackson. I don't really like his music style, I think that's the reason why I think that.

First, learn to spell Beatles, it's not spelled how actual beetles are spelled.

Second, why, the invented modern rock, and without them there would be nothing, no Rolling Stones all the way to no Phish, come on. You have no idea what your talking about. Over rated bands are forgotten about in a few years, bands that are not forgotten are not over rated.

The Rolling Stones are washed up now and they don't have the guts to admit it. Besides, the Beatles beat them to they psychedelic era and they know it (and have stated so many times). The Beatles were always a step ahead of the Stones in innovation.

Kick ass music LMAO <-- first time ive ever used that. Seriously :confused: how can any1 think that. Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses (back in the beginning) and Led Zepplin create "Kick- ass" music. I cannot think of 1 song by any of them which r worse than "Yesterday" or "Hey Jude". By the way look at what other people have put down. Many of them have put the Beatles so the "general population" agrees with me.

That's not the point. Refer back to my previous definition of "overrated":

A band being overrated is not about whether you like them or not. This is not about "oh, I don't like any Beatles songs, therefore they're overrated!" It's about their influence on music as a whole. Were they progressive and experimental or did they just do it for the money? That's why The Beatles, The Doors and Pink Floyd are not overrated and Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers and every other sellout of today's music are. "Oh, everyone talks about Bach, but I don't like any of his music! He must be overrated!"

This isn't about your opinion. I couldn't give less of a fuck if you like the Beatles or not; it's the sheer ignorance of your statements that aggravate me. It's almost universally agreed that the Beatles are one of the most influential and important bands not only in the history of rock music, but all of music itself. Did you look at the articles I posted? I'll throw these beautiful facts in as well:

During their studio years, The Beatles produced what critics consider some of their finest material including the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), widely regarded as a masterpiece. Four decades after their break-up, The Beatles' music continues to be popular. The Beatles have had more number one albums on the UK charts, and held down the top spot longer, than any other musical act. According to RIAA certifications, they have sold more albums in the United States than any other artist. In 2008, Billboard magazine released a list of the all-time top-selling Hot 100 artists to celebrate the US singles chart's fiftieth anniversary, with The Beatles at number one. They have been honoured with 7 Grammy Awards, and they have received 15 Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. The Beatles were collectively included in Time magazine's compilation of the 20th century's 100 most influential people.

The Beatles' influence on popular culture was—and remains—immense. Former Rolling Stone associate editor Robert Greenfield said, "People are still looking at Picasso ... at artists who broke through the constraints of their time period to come up with something that was unique and original. In the form that they worked in, in the form of popular music, no one will ever be more revolutionary, more creative and more distinctive than The Beatles were." From the 1920s, the United States had dominated popular entertainment culture throughout much of the world, via Hollywood movies, jazz, the music of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley and, later, the rock and roll that first emerged in Memphis, Tennessee. Drawing on their rock and roll roots, The Beatles not only triggered the British Invasion of the US, but themselves became a globally influential phenomenon.

The Beatles' musical innovations, as well as their commercial success, inspired musicians worldwide. A large number of artists have acknowledged The Beatles as an influence or have had chart successes with covers of Beatles' songs. On radio, the arrival of The Beatles marked the beginning of a new era; program directors like Rick Sklar of New York's WABC went as far as forbidding DJs from playing any "pre-Beatles" music. The Beatles redefined the album as something more than just a few hits padded out with "filler". They were primary innovators of the music video. The Shea Stadium date with which they opened their 1965 North American tour attracted what was then the largest audience in concert history and is seen as a "landmark event in the growth of the rock crowd." Emulation of their clothing and especially their hairstyles, which became a mark of rebellion, had a global impact on fashion.

More broadly, The Beatles changed the way people listened to popular music and experienced its role in their lives. From what began as the Beatlemania fad, the group grew to be perceived by their young fans across the industrialized world as the representatives, even the embodiment, of ideals associated with cultural transformation. As icons of the 1960s counterculture, they became a catalyst for bohemianism and activism in various social and political arenas, fueling such movements as women's liberation, gay Liberation and environmentalism.

So please, take your brainwashed fallacies somewhere else. The Beatles continue to be a massive cultural force, 50 years after they first started. They've influenced great artists (http://rateyourmusic.com/list/hatiguna/artists_influenced_by_the_beatles_in_some_way_or_the_other) like Oasis, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Beach Boys, Green Day, Deep Purple, Soundgarden and Queen.

You're joking right? AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, GNR are probably the most over rated bands out there. It's all generic rock n' roll. GNR is just awful, end of. You're also taking a very narrow minded stance against The Beatles. I can see how they're overrated to an extent, but they've still got influence. Hell, even Kurt Cobain was influenced by them. Their influence goes to most every genre in some way. Even Pink Floyd, who were dead set against becoming pop icons, took influence from The Beatles. It's a big deal that their music is on iTunes because of the years of money and market battles. EMI has probably made millions off the iTunes music sales alone by now.

[Perseus]

I find them overrated because everyone's like, "herp de derp, the Beatles are awesome", when they've only heard like two songs from them. A band becomes overrated when people who've only heard like two songs from the band, and they say they like them(the band overall).

Then, by your logic, Pink Floyd is overrated. Do you know how many people consider themselves Pink Floyd fans because they like "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2"? It's disgusting.

That's not my definition of "overrated". You've already seen it. Either way, a band being overrated isn't based on personal opinion. I don't give a fuck if you don't like the Beatles. (I'm talking to everyone now.) Your puny opinion on them doesn't automatically make them "overrated".

Hey, hey, hey... don't you go messing with my classic rock, the most original and influential genre to rock there is.

[Sugaree]

Hey, hey, hey... don't you go messing with my classic rock, the most original and influential genre to rock there is.

Not really. Many artists have cited that genres like jazz, blues, R&B, and even soul have been their influence. What do you think groups like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin listened to when they were just starting? Really, jazz and blues are probably the most influential genre to rock as it stands. Without jazz, there wouldn't be rock if you ask me.

PS Kurt Cobain, was a dumb fuck, he makes one good song in a long line of mediocre songs then shoots himself

Your opinion, I'm not going to go against it. However, my point still stands that The Beatles had an influence even on a genre as heavy as grunge. Not many bands are that universal.

As Justin has said, the status of a band/artist being "overrated" is not decided upon your own opinion. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Green Day, AC/DC...they all have fans that only like one or two songs (three at most). That's disgusting in itself.

Pink Floyd is overrated. They're good, yes, but people like them because of their popularity. But they're not overrated like Metallica, Nirvana, GNR, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC, etc.

I find that Pink Floyd is an overrated band in some cases, but they were great musicians. It's a popularity thing. As long as you're popular, people love you or hate you.

The Beatles are extremely overrated...it's not just about how much they "revolutionized" music. "Overrated-ness" is simpler than that...lets put it in terms of a ratio:

the public's opinion of the band ÷ your opinion of the band(which is obviously subjective).
If the answer is greater than 1...then the band is overrated.

And yes Pink Floyd is overrated too. Deal with it.

Does that mean they're bad?...of course not.

Metallica and Nirvana. They both suck, but yet everybody thinks they're good. I don't get it.
Yes, Nirvana is overrated but they're still a great band imo.
And not everyone thinks they're good....plus there's plenty of people that like grunge and alternative but don't like Nirvana because of their popularity, Kurt Cobain's popularity and all of the fanboys/girls.(which is a stupid reason not to like a band btw, but it happens all too often)

It seems somewhat valid if you think about it though. I've come into contact with many fanboys/girls of many bands and was somewhat hesitant to listen to the actual band. Being a fan is ok, maybe on occasion be a really huge fan, but being obsessed with an artist is just simply a turn off.

I think the problem with this thread is that everyone has a different definition of the word "overrated". You can't just use the dictionary definition because it's too vague.

Personally, I believe that the definition of "overrated" is what I put in bold and quoted many times throughout this thread. By that standard, The Beatles and Floyd are not overrated. Some, like yourself, may disagree, and I can respect that. I can't respect anyone who bases their entire argument for the over-ration of a band on whether or not their songs are "good". "Good" may be the most subjective word in the English language, stop throwing it around like your definition of "good music" is right and mine is wrong. This isn't 100% about whether or not you like the band.

I can accept your mathematical equation for overrated-ness, even though I don't agree with it, however, I can't accept the people here who call the Beatles overrated because they don't like "Hey Jude". If "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" are the only two Beatles songs you can name, get your head out of your ass and stop listening to 1, that's not even the best or most experimental of the Beatles catalog.

[Kitty Purry]

i like lady gaga, but I deffainitly think shes overrated..

[NeverTooLate]

She's not a band but britney spears...

[Peace God]

In my opinion(and yes this is just my opinion, im no expert on rock), I think a lot of you guys would be surprised to find out that a lot of the "revolutionary" and "progressive" classic rock bands weren't incredibly original and progressive, some of them didnt really create a brand new sound but just incorporated the styles of previous artists and managed to gain mainstream appeal because of it. Look at some of the "blues-rock" bands of the 70s (like Zepplin), there's also Nirvana of course and dont even get me started on 80s metal(especailly that "hair"/glam metal shit).

My point is that bands can easily become overrated with hindsight because people forget about the true pioneers. I wouldnt be surprised if many of the classic artists that we highly praise now, were seen as overrated and unoriginal by some back we they were active. I mean, who knows, maybe bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Green Day will be seen as great innovators of rock later on.

Just some food for thought.
It seems somewhat valid if you think about it though. I've come into contact with many fanboys/girls of many bands and was somewhat hesitant to listen to the actual band. Being a fan is ok, maybe on occasion be a really huge fan, but being obsessed with an artist is just simply a turn off.
Yeah don't get me wrong, we're all guilty of of judging a band because of it's fanbase. But a lot of the time it's unfair to the artists to do so. For example: Just because someone knows a girl that thinks Cobain is a god because he died young and was cute, doesn't mean that Nirvana is bad...it probably means they're overrated but it doesn't make a band automatically bad.

[rextoystory]

Well everything is a matter of taste, but there are some bands that even if you don't like them, they make good music, but some... are really overrated, their music is poor and just sucks.
My overrated bands are:

-The Disney artists, all of them
-Any other TV star that becomes an artist just to get money.
-Bieber
- A lot of DJ's.
- Hip hop and rap artists.

There are A LOT of overrated bands and artists... Fortunately we have good bands to strike back :D

Are you high? Iron Maiden is the only pioneer of heavy metal who isn't spammed on the radio and win awards for no reason. They actually write music. A lot of bands just write noise.

I won't deny there are groups more influential than the Beatles (Throbbing Gristle and Pink Floyd are two examples), but it's stupid for anyone to say the Beatles didn't have a large influence on the development of rock music.

Still doesn't mean it's everyone's cup of tea and everyone should like them. Which is absolute bullshit, because people act like you have to listen to them to appreciate music appropriately. I simply do not like them because they don't fit my needs. Yes, I do appreciate music, probably more then most people think. I just don't like them. Simple as that.

Of course. I myself don't really listen to the Beatles much at all anymore, not like I did when I was in 4th grade. I understand people may not like them, sure, but you can't judge their influence purely based on that.

Yes, I do understand that. Nice list, lots of interesting stuff on there. I know the Beatles weren't the most influential or only influential band during the 1960s, but they were still influential, mostly due to their massive popularity.

ITT: Lol I don't like a band and I don't know shit about them so that makes them over rated lol

ITT: Lol I don't like a band and I don't know shit about them so that makes them over rated lol

LOL no. What are you i don't even.

Allot of you seem to not know what "overrated" even means.

Were they progressive and experimental or did they just do it for the money? That's why The Beatles, The Doors and Pink Floyd are not overrated and Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers and every other sellout of today's music are. "Oh, everyone talks about Bach, but I don't like any of his music! He must be overrated!"[/B]

Metallica is slightly overrated, but their early stuff definitely helped define the thrash metal genre. Modern mainstream artists are definitely the most overrated.

That's funny because The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and The Doors ARE extremely overrated. BUT you people are missing the cunt sucking cannibal point. Not everything overrated is bad.

Simple as that.

You guys really need to learn the definition of overrated.

As per my knowledge following are best Rated Band at recent time.

Definitely Justin Bieber, he's not even talented, I mean God people, WAKE UP!!! He sounds like a prepubescent girl! As far as the Beatles go, they started rock music... rock wouldn't be around without them.

Yeah but the music inspiring them was more of a blues type music. Rock might be around but it probably wouldn't sound the same without the Beatles.

Actually, the Beatles were mostly influenced by Elvis and other early rock-n'-roll/skiffle acts.

Ah fuck, how could I forget about Elvis?

[BOBBY HILL]

I think Elvis was overrated. he didn't even write his own songs

[Sugaree]

I think Elvis was overrated. he didn't even write his own songs

He wrote a few of his own songs later in his career when he was really packing on pounds. But, honestly, which artist from the time of Elvis (50s and 60s) wrote their own songs? Sure, there's a few exceptions, but that's only a handful of artists really.

[deadpie]

Merzbow. Everyone in school talks about him and wears his shirts. Like I was just talking to my friend and he says, "Dude! 1930 is so good. Merzbow is great classic rock."
Then I reply, "What the fuck are you even saying?"

I don't know what this big 'noise' thing is going around everywhere, but damn is it overrated and huge! Target just started selling merzbow pants. I walk into best buy and there I see "Flare Gun" on a gigantic poster and when I go up to it there's these dadrock guys dumping them into their baskets off the shelves.

Seriously! Merzbow is so fucking overrated.

[spfreak]

They've probably been mentioned already, but Nirvana are pretty overrated

[polkagurl]

most overated band ....
definitely not the beatles because they were legends.
and definitely not pink floyd because they were genius'.
honestly... any cuteszy disney bands/singers are way over rated.
i dont mind the jonas brothers because they have good hearts
but really they aren't great and all the teeny boppers love them.
so anyone like the jonas brothers, slutty cyrus, selena gomez and the rest of them are and always will be over-rated.

Metallica and Nirvana. They both suck, but yet everybody thinks they're good. I don't get it.

Um, Metallica is actually good, why don't you look around their catalog instead of listening to their mainstream shit?

As for my opinion...Definitely AC/DC, I can't stand them...all their guitarist..whatever his name is, plays is power chords, power chords, power chords, and the singer(s) voice is freaking annoying, AC/DC doesn't have any melodic songs that i've heard at all. THEY BLOW!

Metallica was a good band until Load, where they started shitting mainstream crap. At least The Black Album had an emotional sentiment to it, everything after is pretty terrible.

I consider ...And Justice For All the greatest thrash album ever. That is, until I find something better.

Metallica, till now he is overrated, I mean, they were always overrated. I never liked Metallica.

Boy, I laugh at people around here when they say they listen to Metal. All I see in their playlist is Metallica, Slipknot, Korn and what not. I asked them, do you know Dream Theater... umm... Tool perhaps, or... do you know Skinny Puppy(which is a lot more obscure than the other two, obviously)? They are like... "wtf!? Whose Two? Whose Dream Theta?" Boy, but I get a nice laugh, though.

Oh, the last two are overrated. Skinny Puppy is underrated.
