Dazed_and_Confused Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I think Elvis is probably the most overrated person in the history of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 To understand the phenomenom of Elvis, you would have to understand the musical times out of which he emerged. He energized and to some degree, realigned a predominantly white audience by incorporating forms of R&B (a black staple for years before) into the mainstream of pop music. Those who walk and clear out the underbrush in the jungle before the runners can run are always slower and more awkward in comparison, but the runners appreciate what they have done.

NewYorkMets9 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 As a musician, Elvis isn't all that special. But as S2V explained it, he was a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Elvis was smart, he listened to black R&B and combined that with a tinge of gospel and he opened up the eyes of America to what good music was. Until Tom Parker turned him back into Pat Boone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I like Nirvana, I really do, but every day, I come across more and more evidence of their overratedness. And then I try really hard not to like them. But it doesn't work. So I decide to alienate the music from the bamd... or rather, the person.

AJ_ Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Greenday is getting be over rated, they're still good, but the older songs are better I think. Also, I find that Simple Plan is over rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hmmm, I just found out that I like a Death Cab for Cutie song. It's called "Crooked Teeth." I had been liking the song for a while, and just found out today that it's a DCfC song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Day and Queen Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Most overrated band ever, I would have to say The Misfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman14141414 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Most overrated band ever, I would have to say The Misfits. I would have to disagree with you so much, in fact I disagree with you so much I may have to ignore what you say from now on. Actually I can see why some people would consider them overrated, I admit they're nothing great, but they're still catchy poppy fun. But come on, you have to admit that Danzig is one the best rock vocalists ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
