Most overrated - a thread about overrated things

I know it's a cliche to say this, and I know every new generation says it, but most music nowadays really is crap. There is some good new stuff out there but you have to search for it. I never understood the whole it's-uncool-to-like-the-music-your-parents-like thing.

Me neither, my parents have a brilliant music taste. Mother dear did run a record store and is a radio DJ, which might have something to do with it though.

However, they don't really like my fixation with Hardcore and Noise. and my Father HATES lo-fi.

Sandman is Alan Moore levels of good though, as is American Gods.

Suffice to say Killing Joke is Tim Burton's favourite comic book, even though it's rubbish.

Zep and Dylan are UNTOUCHABLE.
They're not even overrated. There isn't even a rating high enough for them.

Definitely overrated

Dylan just cannot fucking sing. Anyone who thinks he is anything other than a tuneless whining hippy has no ears. And considering it's the bedrock of his reputation, he's not even that good a songwriter. You have to wade through acres of rubble to get to the gems.

Zep are the originators of everything that ever went wrong with rock music. Girly hair, self-indulgent ballads, cucumbers down pants, endless noodly solos, and shit songs.

Based on the evidence above I'd say one of your other favourites is Neil Young.

Australia. There's some decent material in there somewhere, but it's mostly just a lot of nothing.

You can tell it's not a proper country because they've only done round the edges.

MBAs.

We are going to have the geekiest falling out ever in a minute. Killing Joke isn't the best, but it's pretty freaking good. Have you read Arkham Asylum? It's alright.

This probably reads to everyone else like the football arguments a couple of pages earlier did to me. Let's agree to disagree. (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1 & 2 were also both rubbish, btw)

Dylan's voice ain't that bad, and he's a fantastic songwriter.

Wasn't thinking of Neil Young, but I do really like him. Guess again?

I recognise the White Lines tune from somewhere..

OK, I'm guessing Bon Jovi :-)

But if you admit to that, then all of us on this forum are gonna have to pretend I didn't suggest them and you didn't say yes.

I saw Bon Jovi in Wembly when I was about 8, I think it was a huge gig about Elvis or something, I'm really unsure. But I have seen him. Not who I was thinking of though...

It's going to get really tense at drink if that was the case...
(I'm in Manchester so I guess it wouldn't matter)

We'd have to communicate the tension on postcards or something.

Like PostSecret but even more stilted and awkward? Me likely.

nor could jimi hendrix.

i know he's a repost, cos i posted it, but his voice was awful...
