Overrated, Ridiculously Popular Songs/Bands you HATE.

FREE BIRD.

Stairway to Heaven. I like it, but really? Everyone says it's the greatest thing ever. It isn't.

Bob Dylan: Isn't that great.

Metallica. Metallica is THE most overrated and pompous band in existence.

John Mayer.

Jonas Brothers.

Tokio Hotel.

Jimi Hendrix.

Guns N' Roses (Good band if you're a huge tool)





There are plenty of these threads, but this is one to restate everything that we hate.

I agree with that.

Bob Dylan: Isn't that great.

I consider him a better poet than musician, if that makes any sense.

John Mayer.

I'm neutral on the guy, but this kind of stuff always tends to have an audience no matter if it's Connick or one of his clones.

Metallica. Metallica is THE most overrated and pompous band in existence.

I like how their sound used to be?
No real problem for me here I think they've just had their heyday.

Jonas Brothers.

Don't feel about it any worse than I do the "other" pop that floods the radio.

Tokio Hotel.

Dunno.

Guns N' Roses (Good band if you're a huge tool)

I can get not liking the style of music they do...and I think their last two albums have just been complete...shit...but I wouldn't say they're a shit band...they had the sound of their time, and by comparison to a lot of others in the same style I think they sounded alright. Then, 80's child here.

I don't really hate bands so much, there's shit I just won't listen to but that's it...the last musical act to come out I really remember disliking was Nelly, few years back now I just don't give a shit.
If I had to say something I thought was overrated, I'd say nowadays - The most recent Prodigy and "NIN" of late, both of which had tracks I actually liked, the amount of people still following these groups CRAP as though they're just trying to save face for being fans back when their shit was half decent...should maybe let go.

...and I never liked the Doors. Just weird, chaotic sounding shit to me...I've heard examples of the style (though being pretty "old" for me couldn't name them) that I've liked better.
People are strange, the exception to me.
That also reminds me, speaking of weird chaotic shit, most of what ?Bjork? does just sounds terrible to me. I'm not against the strange, but in these two cases just doesn't work for me.

Have you listened to entire Dylan albums? Bringing it All Back Home? Blood on the Tracks?

Opinions can change. Just about anyone can vouch for that. I enjoy some of Metallica's stuff, but they REALLY went soft.

I enjoy Metallica up to the Black album. Everything afterwards is retarded, with the exception of a few songs. If anyone wants to pull the "well you USED to like it" card, then you're bloody ignorant.

I have heard most of Bob Dylan's work. Especially since my mom is a fan. I don't care for him.

Also, this is where we post what we don't like. You already posted that you don't like my opinions, that isn't news, everyone knows that. Post your hates or fuck off.

Overrated. It's such an asshole word. "I don't feel the same way so you're wrong."
