Most Overrated Band

[leezer]

Who do you think are the most overrated bands? This is kind of tongue in cheek and you shouldn't take it too seriously but go ahead!

[timbedinosaur]

Jonas Brothers. Oh God do i hate them.

[Blanko]

Jonas Brothers. Oh God do i hate them.

co-sign

[kearn1tm]

I've found that, if a band has a beard and cites Neutral Milk Hotel as an influence, they'll be hailed by AP.net as the second coming of Jesus' Super Special Wacky Rock Godera Opera, so all those bands.

The Breeders. If you loved Indie-esque music (ambiguity of the umbrella term aside) in the early '90s, you love The Breeders, and hey, they were (oh, apparently, they're back together, so "are") a good band and Kim Deal proved with this band that she did have quite a bit to do with the quality of the Pixies, but they were not the Pixies, they weren't as good as the Pixies and the fact that they're consistently compared to Deal's former band and unable to transcend the consistent barrage of comparisons to the Pixies is a testament to the fact that they weren't the band every obnoxious faux-hipster from the early '90s claims them to be. Seriously. Ask any early-to-mid '30something working in a record store what they think of The Breeders. "Saviors of the '90s, man."

[kearn1tm]

Jonas Brothers. Oh God do i hate them.

Who, other than pre-teen girls and their parents, are hailing this band as "good?"

[timbedinosaur]

Who, other than pre-teen girls and their parents, are hailing this band as "good?"
teenage girls.

[kearn1tm]

teenage girls.

So, essentially, you meant to say every awful mainstream band is overrated then?

[makeasound]

Nirvana
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Sex Pistols

[Neo Cassady]

The Beatles.



Someone had to say it. They're damn good but things got a little out of control.

I don't know why, but this really made me smile. Probably because I was listening to the Pixies about 5 minutes ago. :-D

[MyWorldEntire]

The Beatles.

I agree, and yes I have listened to ever album they created since Help!

[Kneeka]

I might be the only who think this but Brand New is so overrated. People on this site thinks Jesse Lacey is a God. Yeah, they some good music but most of it is hype.

[PTK]

Panic At The Disco and Aiden....

words that come to mind: worthless, no, talent,

and puppets perhaps?

[thesafeword]

Coldplay.

Haha, just letting you know.

[x togepi x]

The Beatles.

No, not at all. I'd say underrated nowadays if anything.

I'm not one of those people who thinks they're the best band ever or anything, but I've had so many conversations in the past year with people who said they sucked, and i've seen people here bash them too.

[Protested Hero]

Nirvana.

The Beatles are great.

[theguy77]

truth. theres a massive lack of appreciation considering no fully mainstream pop-rock act since has been able to top them and their ingenuity/individuality/songwriting talent.

[Neo Cassady]

Nowadays, yes, I'll agree with that statement. 40 years ago, no. And I'm not saying they suck by any means--they're one of my favorite bands.

that's almost a separate issue i reckon. back then a band had to rely on mainstream radio play & live gigs, & obviously fans had to largely rely on radio to hear new music. but times & technology have changed, you no longer have to be a large mainstream act to have a large following &/or be influential & important. if no band in the mainstream tops their figures, it doesn't necessary mean they don't stack up

yeah but still 60s radio music is infinitely better than the radio music of today on all fronts, and the beatles are a huge part of the reason why. heck the stuff on today isnt even catchy anymore because it all sounds the fucking same, nothing strikes your ear or stands out, the 90s were a lot better as well.

[Laur3l]

don't apologize.


haha k

[El_Jeffe]

i too can't stand brand new & in terms of ap, definitely overrated to the fullest extent of the definition. but overrated in general? does anyone, besides ap & a couple alike sites, actually rate that band?

(genuine question, i have no idea)

well... yea perhaps, but keep in mind, people only remember what they want to remember from every era. there was still some absolute crap from the 60's & 90's mate. also, i don't think that many bands really focus, primarily, on getting mainstream radio play anymore. not the extent of the 60's anyhow. technology (for better or worse) has seen large shifts away from that era of musical promotion. depends on which factors you wish to include when deciding which band surpassing which. the real power of live performance is something many people forget on ap for some reason

[daftknight]

While I do feel that the Beatles get a lot of their fame because they were first - something Oasis hasn't come to grips with - they're still fucking incredible. That's for damn sure. First or not, they're rock gods.

Oh, and I agree with the whole changing media thing. It's definitely not needed any more. My dad always asks me why a certain band I listen to still hasn't made the radio despite talent. I always simply reply that it's because you don't need radio to make it these days. Purevolume, Myspace, and Youtube are proving just as viable. Panic at the disco proves this, if nothing else. They made radio thanks to Myspace.

[chipdip18]

I bet you that band members lurk threads like this with anxiety.

[IWasaCamera]

I might be the only who think this but Brand New is so overrated. People on this site thinks Jesse Lacey is a God. Yeah, they some good music but most of it is hype.
You're definitely the only user to ever claim Brand New is overrated. Ever.


Correct answer: The Doors.

[Danny Schme]

I bet you that band members lurk threads like this with anxiety.

sweat pouring off the brow haha

[theguy77]

you know i think BN gets more hate than hype by now. sure a lot of their fans (including me) still defend them as well as possible but i havent seen an idiot claim they're the most creative band ever or something in a long time.

[chipdip18]

sweat pouring off the brow haha


Hahaha yeah. Well like that Worst Singer Live thread, i bet they debate whether they want to enter that thread or not.

[PTK]

The whole Purevolume, Myspace, and Youtube comment is correct...alot of bands get their fame from them...such as The Maine as do most bands now

[FayeQC]

you know i think BN gets more hate than hype by now. sure a lot of their fans (including me) still defend them as well as possible but i havent seen an idiot claim they're the most creative band ever or something in a long time.

This is so true, i knew they'd be mentioned even before I entered this thread.

also,to answer:
And the foo fighters are awesome and one of my favourite bands but they get wayy too much hype sometimes.

[thesafeword]

you know i think BN gets more hate than hype by now. sure a lot of their fans (including me) still defend them as well as possible but i havent seen an idiot claim they're the most creative band ever or something in a long time.
I know, I haven't really seen anybody here worshipping Jesse Lacey or anything. I must've missed the craze.

[IWasaCamera]

Wait until the next full length is leaked. Hell, even the demos should do the trick.

[FayeQC]

Hahaha yeah. Well like that Worst Singer Live thread, i bet they debate whether they want to enter that thread or not.

lol imagining members from famous bands lurking here is...odd idek why :shrug:

[theguy77]

I know, I haven't really seen anybody here worshipping Jesse Lacey or anything. I must've missed the craze.

yeah after TDAG and especially deja man the worshippers were rampant. i wasnt even here for the deja craze but ive heard some crazy things. but i mean any album jason rates like a 99% is going to get some insane fucking craze on here, thats just how it works

[theguy77]

Wait until the next full length is leaked. Hell, even the demos should do the trick.

well yeah there will be a lot of hype but as for the idiotic comments, i mean as brand new moves further away from a scene full of pop-punk kids there will be less fans who havent heard anything creative in their lives and praising them as such.

[FayeQC]

I missed the bn hype on here

:-(

[chipdip18]

lol imagining members from famous bands lurking here is...odd idek why :shrug:


Well Zach from JEW was in the JEW thread then CrazyRockGirl straight up dissed JEW. That was cool.

[PTK]

can someone clue me in on this whole jesse lacey craze? im not fully understanding

[IWasaCamera]

well yeah there will be a lot of hype but as for the idiotic comments, i mean as brand new moves further away from a scene full of pop-punk kids there will be less fans who havent heard anything creative in their lives and praising them as such.
They will remain vastly overrated until they can sever all musical ties with scene morons. I sincerely hope it can happen because they've got potential.

[thesafeword]

Well, Brand New is pretty amazing and Deja is a fucking solid album, but they aren't the greatest thing to ever happen to music.

[FayeQC]

can someone clue me in on this whole jesse lacey craze? im not fully understanding

apparently, people think Jesse Lacey (from Brand New) is very overrated here.
lots of people on this site do love them (me included) so to an extent that may be true but I disagree with those saying they are vastly overrated.

[PTK]

personally i think they came out with some solid albums...they never became HUGE...so i dont think "vastly overrated" is an option

[theguy77]

Well, Brand New is pretty amazing and Deja is a fucking solid album, but they aren't the greatest thing to ever happen to music.

yeah i mean brand new is my favorite band and deja is my favorite album (dont hate) and TDAG is definitely top 20 if not top 10 but on a technical level i mean brand new isnt like one of the most brilliant out there they're just a band who does what they do very well.

[thesafeword]

No hating here, Brand New is top 10 for me and Deja is top 5, but you're right, they aren't brilliant masterminds or anything, they just know how to make good music.

[versus_god]

Brand New, probably saved my life.

[PTK]

They will remain vastly overrated until they can sever all musical ties with scene morons. I sincerely hope it can happen because they've got potential.

I dont exactly agree with that...i dont really think they have THAT big of a "scene moron" following

[thesafeword]

Brand New, probably saved my life.
The Dark Knight did that for me.

[PTK]

I dont exactly agree with that...i dont really think they have THAT big of a "scene moron" following

yes i just quoted myself...they do have a scene following...but can you honestly blame Brand New for that?

[Danny Schme]

yes i just quoted myself...they do have a scene following...but can you honestly blame Brand New for that?

but they still have them...

[Kneeka]

Eh, the only album I really enjoyed from Brand New was TDAG.

[PTK]

I still dont agree with the whole " Brand New is overrated" but if so by any chance then its because of the "moron scene following" so once again we can blame them for another band history discomfort i suppose you could say

[Chris Fallon]

I'd say Brand New (even though I like them) because I am sick to death of hearing about them in each and every conversation about music ever.

[theguy77]

I'd say Brand New (even though I like them) because I am sick to death of hearing about them in each and every conversation about music ever.

i dont know why but most of the time the arguments dont have ot specifically be about brand new, its more like they're used as an example vehicle for point counterpoint dicussions about the integrity of writing certain types of music, the technicalities of the songwriting process, and/or the philosophy of a band moving in a completely different direction and adding new dynamics to their music.

at least thats what most of my brand new discussions are about.

[EchoPark]

This is ridiculous. It is a no win situation.

If you like a band a lot, you are consider a scenster moron, if you dislike a band a lot you are a hater. What gives?? :shrug:

[theguy77]

This is ridiculous. It is a no win situation.

If you like a band a lot, you are consider a scenster moron, if you dislike a band a lot you are a hater. What gives?? :shrug:

these are only initial assumptions applied to unexplained statements about the band. but then either you mediate and discuss it, and understand each others' points, and realize that the other person is not a fanboy/hater, or you argue about it in an ignorant angry insulting fashion and continue to assume they are.

[versus_god]

I'm too cooooool for music.

[PTK]

what i dont relize is how people can be "scenesters"...i could have swore the scene style (i guess u could call it that) died around 4-5 years ago?

[Genuma]

Best. n00b. Ever. The Whitest Kids U' Know are fucking great and I thought of Coldplay too.
Worst n00b ever. ^^

That's what I'm saying. I mean, how many times do we have to see Jesse and Max Bemis' names in a fucking argument about music?

Let's face it... the teenagers aren't helping.

yes because brand new was the only band ever to evolve.

well thrice did but they also suck.

[notoaststereo]

Bright Eyes/Connor Oberst

[theguy77]

well thrice did but they also suck.

hahah, my two favorite bands. i guess its in me to like scene bands who do something better for themselves once they leave the scene. the scene music i tend to like is the kind with more substance than the rest.

[theguy77]

That's what I'm saying. I mean, how many times do we have to see Jesse and Max Bemis' names in a fucking argument about music?

Let's face it... the teenagers aren't helping.

well the reason for it is because bands like that are scene bands that have more substance than most. scene-oriented kids respect them for this but others still criticize them mostly because they're part of the scene and their music shows it. this is why they become such focal points becuase its basically the bridge between tatecore and the outside music world.

[Kneeka]

Bright Eyes/Connor Oberst

Agreed, but Conor is a damn good writer.

[alltimecam]

that's almost a separate issue i reckon. back then a band had to rely on mainstream radio play & live gigs, & obviously fans had to largely rely on radio to hear new music. but times & technology have changed, you no longer have to be a large mainstream act to have a large following &/or be influential & important. if no band in the mainstream tops their figures, it doesn't necessary mean they don't stack up
plus there was not as much competition as there is now
i think that if the beatles were to come out today people would not like them too much

[alltimecam]

i have never been able to get into brand new
are there any songs that i should listen to because i have listened to most of their "top bought" on itunes are there any songs im missing?

[FayeQC]

i have never been able to get into brand new
are there any songs that i should listen to because i have listened to most of their "top bought" on itunes are there any songs im missing?

What are their top songs on iTunes anyway?
But I would say start with Deja then go to the other albums

or just to make things interesting - wait for their new album, listen and then go backwards because god knows when the next next album will come out.

[x togepi x]

hopefully never

You're not paying enough attention.

[aguywithaguitar]

what i dont relize is how people can be "scenesters"...i could have swore the scene style (i guess u could call it that) died around 4-5 years ago?
depends on how old you are i guess. ive noticed its only high school kids really. and a few older people that just never really grow out of it.

[Regards]

This thread again?

The Beatles are not overrated at all.

Nirvana is the most overrated band.

[Pluto.]

Okay, here goes. In my opinion....I'm going to say

Sublime aswell. 87% of kids at my school own a Sublime shirt, and think they're the best thing since sliced bread.
Saves the Day....IDK IDK. I just can't get into them. But at a lot of other forums I go to, they're everywhere.
Modest Mouse,
The White Stripes,
Circle Takes the Sqaure, yeah. I like 'em a lot, but ...yeah.
Bloc Party.

[Omaha_Slamdance]

nickelback
Eliot Minor
the jonas brothers
amy winehouse

[sandra92]

Tokio Hotel (unfortunately)
Nirvana

[LastDeclaration]

Nirvana - They did a lot to bring rock music mainstream, but the music itself is overrated.
Neutral Milk Hotel - No matter how hard I try, I've never been able to get into ITAOTS.
Brand New - The Devil and God might be the best album I own, but Deja is terribly overrated.
Saves the Day - Stay What You Are is their only great album. All the rest are average or less.
Jack's Mannequin/Something Corporate - I don't see what makes Andrew McMahon so special.

[kearn1tm]

Other than mainstream audiences, they're universally despised by critics and "music enthusiasts."

Say Anything.

[Why Bother?]

The Beatles.



Someone had to say it. They're damn good but things got a little out of control.

No no no, just no. Listen to their discography, when you listen to Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers you'll wish you could take this post back.

Blasphemy.

That has nothing to do with being "overrated." If the criteria for being overrated is "mainstream exposure and album sales," every horrid mainstream band would be "overrated."

but something corporate has a higher number of quality songs than JM. i enjoyed, what, 3 songs off of everything in transit? the rest is incredibly, incredibly mediocre to me.

[x togepi x]

i barely hear anything good about them from anyone over the age of 17.

I was hoping that I would be like this and love this band after I listened to their discography. For some reason the only album I can get into is Sgt. Peppers. I love that album, but nothing else they have really does it for me. I understand while peope think that they are great, but I guess they're just not my thing.

[ThisIsNotDan]

Saves The Day are incredibly overrated.

[nikaidoh]

Every band except for Ekoostik Hookah

[zeropunk16]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

I've come to the conclusion that you're either a RHCP fan or a Mr. Bungle fan.

[CellarGhosts]

Mr. Bungle >>>> RHCP

However, the chili peppers do have some songs I enjoy but the songs I dislike completely outnumber them.

[ThemChains]

For me, it is just that I know a lot of people who treat Kurt Cobain like some people on here treat Jesse Lacey. While Kobain is probably marginally more deserving of this treatment than Lacey, it still annoys me. I also don't like their lyrics, or his voice. Their music always sounds very sloppy to me, I just don't care for it.

This.

I don't want to open a whole other can of worms here, but I have to listen to these people I know go on and on about what a genius Kurt was and how "OMG COURTNEY LOVE HAD HIM KILLED!!!1 HE DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE!" and it's the most irritating thing ever.

and while I do like Nirvana to an extent, they are still pretty over hyped. At least by people my age or younger.

Really? 20-somethings here are still absolutely in love with Nirvana, lauding the band as the greatest of all time and unrivaled lyrically.

By "here" do you mean Montreal or the site? because I hardly ever see any of the older people on here, or any of the regulars for that matter - talk about them.

I'm assuming you mean Montreal though.

[thesafeword]

I still don't see the Saves the Day/Brand New thing. Maybe I missed the craze of everyone loving them, but I just don't see people bowing down to Jesse Lacey or anything. Their are a lot of others bands that get way more attention or following here.

[hockeyguitar99]

Abbey Road shits all over Sgt. Pepper's.

Really? 20-somethings here are still absolutely in love with Nirvana, lauding the band as the greatest of all time and unrivaled lyrically.

Like I said, I know what a great band they are, and Sgt. Pepper's might not be their best album in everyone's eyes, but that's the one that I can get into. I hate that it's only one album, but I'll give Abbey Road another listen.

By "here" do you mean Montreal or the site? because I hardly ever see any of the older people on here, or any of the regulars for that matter - talk about them.

I'm assuming you mean Montreal though.
Definitely Montreal.

[DilesMavis]

Abbey Road ist gut.

[x togepi x]

Abbey Road shits all over Sgt. Pepper's.

no it doesn't. side two does but as an album, no.

Really? 20-somethings here are still absolutely in love with Nirvana, lauding the band as the greatest of all time and unrivaled lyrically.

are they the same people that think it's rebellious to listen to Chevelle?

[IWasaCamera]

no it doesn't. side two does but as an album, no.
Even side one is better for me, despite Maxwell and Octopus.
are they the same people that think it's rebellious to listen to Chevelle?
No, they're regular music snobs as well.

This.

I don't want to open a whole other can of worms here, but I have to listen to these people I know go on and on about what a genius Kurt was and how "OMG COURTNEY LOVE HAD HIM KILLED!!!1 HE DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE!" and it's the most irritating thing ever.

and while I do like Nirvana to an extent, they are still pretty over hyped. At least by people my age or younger.
This definitely is annoying.

[AlternateToLife]

RHCP and Coldplay are the only two bands I can think of as of now.

[ForeverDelayed]

I have to agree with all the people who said Brand New. I downloaded their most recent album because of the hype, and while it wasn't bad, I just didn't hear anything that made it stand out. All I ever hear is how creative and innovative they are and how they're changing music and yada yada yada, but I just don't see it. They sound like every other scene type band who got bored with every song sounding the same and started to change things up a little. Not horrible, but nothing to freak out over either.

As for Nirvana, those of you who think it's bad now should've been an up and coming guitarist in the early 90's. I used to subscribe to Guitar World and Guitar For The Practicing Musician (which I don't think even exists anymore?) back when I first started playing... one day it was all these shred guys like Vai and Satriani on the cover and stories about SRV and Hendrix and stuff, and the next day everything was Cobain. He was on the cover of some guitar magazine every few months, there were countless tabs and lessons for Nirvana songs, all everyone talked about was how he was revolutionizing guitar. It was completely insane. I mean, sure, I give them credit for changing the musical climate and changing peoples' and labels' minds about what it meant to be a rock band... but come on, let's be honest here - the guy was an average guitarist at best. If you've been playing a year you can figure out any Nirvana song no problem. He was a great songwriter, and obviously it requires talent to write something regardless of how minimalistic or simple it is, and he deserved recognition for his writing. But there's absolutely no reason someone of such average playing abilities should be on the front of a guitar magazine and have people dissecting his riffs and solos and whatnot. That's like putting The Ramones on the cover or a lesson about Sonic Youth. Oh wait, Guitar world did both of those. Nevermind :-p

To add to the whole Beatles side discussion going on here, I'd just like to say that Sgt. Peppers is probably my LEAST favorite of their later albums. A few of their best songs, some good production ideas, but I just can't listen to it more than about once a year. Revolver, The White Album, Magical Mystery Tour, and Abbey Road ALL shit all over it. The only later album that even compares to it quiality wise is Let It Be. The Beatles are one of my favorite bands and even my least favorite album by them is still something I love with all my heart, but I have never been able to comprehend the amount of praise that Sgt. Peppers gets in most circles.

As for my pick for most overrated band, I'm gonna go with Arcade Fire. The first album was pretty good, but not really life changing like the Pitchfork kids made it out to be. Neon Bible was a complete snoozefest. No hooks, no dynamics, shitty production, it's just boring and bloated and completely uninteresting in every way. Yet everyone acted like it was the second coming or something. I like the artwork way more than the music, I'd rather just look at the damn thing then listen to it again.

The Strokes were consistently blown by the mainstream music press leading into their debut album in 2001, and subsequently touted as "saviors of rock and roll." Read the Rolling Stone review of Is This It, in which, in so many words, the reviewer labels this album as one of the watershed works in contemporary music. So much hyperbole behind what amounted to a solid Garage Rock Revivalist band. They weren't even the best band to emerge from this mainstream fad genre (that would go to Black Lips). It's always fun to read what [insert huge A-List celebrity here] is listening to, and for about three years, they would go into length about how they just got into the Strokes and how cool they are.

Enjoyable? Sure. Anything more? No.

You can't name a band that wasn't influenced in some way by a classic rock band (Beatles, Dylan, Zep, Floyd, Who etc.). Anyone who calls one of those bands overrated is just silly. Overrated music fades.

Anyway, overrated bands: Thrice although my thinking they're overrated is probably just due to the AP disease that forces one to think either Say Anything, Brand New, or Thrice are overrated while loving one of the other two religiously.

Who cares? Just because something is influential doesn't make it good, and a lot of classic rock bands like Pink floyd get put up on a pedestal just because they wrote a few good songs and a lot of mediocre to bad ones.

Death Cab For Cutie.

I've heard just about everything they've released and I seriously don't get it. There are definitely elements of quality there, but the whole just seems so much less than the sum of their parts. I like the Postal Service CD more than every Death Cab album added together.

They're extremely accessible, non-threatening and not necessarily thought-provoking or challenging "indie pop" that any mainstream listener has on their iPod to tell their friends "I'm into everything, check out this indie stuff I have here. A little Death Cab." They're the indie band for people who don't like and/or get indie music, and as a result, they blow them up to monumental proportions when, in actuality, they're a pretty simplistic band (not a band thing, per se', but not a band that merits the praise they receive).

However I do enjoy their previous albums.

any band that does something a little more quirky than usual pop or rock and gets mainstream attention ends up getting a lot of praise for it. they are amazing at what they do i mean to be fair i dont think they ever tried to break any boundaries, they just embraced their own writing voice and made catchy songs with it

Wait, why are you inserting things into my post?

Who said they were intending to "break boundaries" or they weren't good at making Pop Music? As I said, making Pop Music isn't inherently bad, they're just not worthy of the praise they get. They're fun, simplistic pop. Nothing more, nothing less. Nobody here said "they're overrated because they don't break boundaries." They're overrated because the people praising them to no end think they're something they aren't.

my mistake.

though i do disagree with you in one small place -- the atmosphere and production of transatlanticism was somethin' else, i believe with the work chris walla did at least on that album, they deserve to be lauded as a band with at least slightly more depth than just "simplistic pop". still simplistic, yeah, still very poppy, yeah, but that doesnt quite seem to be doing them justice in that case. i dont know its probably just me.
