Most Inexplicably Over-rated Bands

[Dazed_and_Confused]

I think Elvis is probably the most overrated person in the history of music.

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.

As a musician, Elvis isn't all that special. But as S2V explained it, he was a god.

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.

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.

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.

[Levis]

I think Simple Plan is terrible.

Rascal Flatts....the NSYNC of what they call country music these days.

[Batman]

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.

[Green Day and Queen]

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.
