I always thought of GNR as a 70's rock band lost in the late 80's

Most overrated band...




Most underrated band...

phish, too... i don't particularly like listening to a five minute song over the course of half an hour...

[gjramsey]

so many to choose from....but I think Garth Brooks tops my list

I second the nomination for the Grateful Dead. I kinda like Sugar Magnolia in a way, that's about it. They were just a lot of weak tunes propped up by smarmy folksiness and trippy logos. Not really bad, but not that good.

I also dislike James Taylor, whichever wuss sings "Sweet Caroline," and Blind Melon, though nobody cares about them today. The Doors aren't that good, but they aren't absolutely wretched.

Finally, for now at least, there's something absolutely appalling about Dave Matthews. Maybe it's because one of my old roommates played him like 24/7, but everything he ever played sounds soulless and bland to me.

No one else has mentioned the Beach Boys (I did back on page 1)? Really, every time I read something suggesting "Pet Sounds" is comparable to, or even better than, "Sgt. Pepper," I'm utterly baffled. And now the reconstruction of "Smile" is being treated like they found the rest of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony.

All this attention without any refernce to the central fact that all their songs sound exactly the same. Honestly, I just don't get it.

How dare you impugn the Beach Boys!!!

*Puts Rufus on the list

*Takes Rufus off the list *

My vote most definitely goes to the Rolling Stones. Their songs sound the same and most often are just covers of old blues tunes anyhow.

Yeah good sir tinyp3nis Radiohead is definitely on the overrated side.

Hey Dissident could you please explain to me the attraction in Metallica?

Their music is like classical music complexity with ass kicking metal instead of violins and such. It really has the whole package. Amazing guitar. Great songs altogether.

Yeah, the lyrics were what attracted me to them back in the day. I'm currently out of the Metallica phase but still listen to the older ones.

One of the things that boggles my mind on a daily basis is just what complete **** radio is now. After reading some of the choices here, I now understand what has happened to the medium. It has nothing to do with corporate take-overs and bean-counters, its just that their current target audience are tasteless. The "Reynolds Girls" were the voice of the future.
