Most Over-rated Band/Artist? 2007-06-24 16:03:04


I think some of the most over rated Bands/Artist are Jim Morrison and Tupac. Everyone think that they are not dead and that they created musical masterpieces. Who do you think are the most over rated Bands / Artists?

I'll agree that Morrison riped off Eric Burdon for his musical and vocal style, but the doors still kicked ass.

Obviously the most overated band out there today is Green Day.

Excuse me for being a "majority hater" but I'd have to say these "indie rock" (at least that's what my in-touch brother calls them) bands sweeping Britain like The Fratellis and The Kooks.

Greenday, Fallout Boy, and Panic! At the Disco.

If they are even rated as mediocre, that's overrating them.

My opinion is Jim Morrison was genius and who ever is a genius in music isn't over-rated.

Yeah. I hate them. The only one I like is 'The feeling' but they remind me too much of James Blunt. >_<

When indie music is made to be enjoyed commercialy it becomes poop.

I read his autobiography and the guys who wrote it were convinced he was a god but in reality he made some great music (which i have on my Ipod) but did alot of drugs and was really obnoxious. Now people treat him like a prophet .

So him doing drugs and being obnoxious makes him over-rated in the music industry?

You're a fucking dumbass.

In America when you're growing up, you're subjected to the Doors as soon as you start going to parties and smoking weed. People think of Jim Morrison as a brilliant rock'n'roll poet, but to me it's unlistenable. The music meanders, and Morrison was more like a drunk asshole than an intelligent poet. The worst of the worst is the last song, Riders on the Storm: "There's a killer on the road/ His brain is squirming like a toad" - that's surely the worst line in rock'n'roll history. He gave the green light to generations of pseuds. A lot of people told him he was a genius, so he started to believe it. The Velvets did nihilism and darkness so much better - they were so much more understated; what they did had subtlety, whereas the Doors had little or none: they were a caricature of "the dark side". I actually like Los Angeles, but the Doors represent the city at its most fat, bloated and excessive. Morrison's death does give rock some mythic kudos, but that doesn't make me want to listen to the music. In fact, if it comes on the radio, I change the station.

Not my words but it describs it better then me

Because people make him out to be the greatest guitar player ever, but since him people have become far better at playing guitar.

In 1965 Hendrix was the best guitarist who ever lived, and he did revolutionize guitar playing.
