Ok I just thought I'd post what I thought were some of rock's most overrated bands/artists. Here's a short list of mine:
1) Fall Out Boy- I can't stand the lead singer's wailing and screaming & I just don't get the whole 'emo' thing.
2) Queen- Sure, they have a few good songs, but do they compare with bands like Aerosmith and Van Halen? Hell no!
3) Bruce Springsteen- I find him to be the poor man's Bob Seger. I liked his newest single "Radio Nowhere," but other than that and "Born to Run" I don't see what's so special about him.
4) The Rolling Stones- Now, don't get me wrong, I really like the Stones. They are a GOOD band. The key word there is GOOD. But in no way are they on apar with The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. And for the record, I find the song "Satisfaction" to be one of the most overrated classic rock songs ever.
5) Pearl Jam- I like the song "Even Flow," but aside from that, I find their music (especially their new stuff!!) quite lousy.
6) Creed- God, I can't stand this mediocre biker band. The song "With Arms Wide Open" makes me want to puke! The singer's voice is rough and annoying & their attempt at a romantic song is laughable.
7) Marilyn Manson- He's ugly, he can't sing, and he's unimaginative. Goth rock has always been one of rock's more pathetic sub-genres, and Manson is no exception.
Well, there you have it. I'm sure there's alot more that should be on this list, but I couldn't think of anymore offhand. I'm sure I'll be adding more onto this list later. Now, what do you think are rock's most overrated artists?
