Overrated/Underrated

[KhaoticKharma]

Please, no one shoot but...
...Led Zepplin is quite overrated to me. I much prefer Pink Floyd, or even ZZTop (I can't help it- their beards make me think of Santa)

 

[Tiny Dancer]

ZZ Top Well, I do love Tush! Cool song. I'm pretending not to have seen the Led Zeppelin comment

 

[PrinceOfCats]

Pink Floyd are dinosaurs of rock and I mean big lumbering brontosaurii, not t-rexes...

I'm with you there man. Everyone is wrong about Floyd: they're simply the dullest band conceivable.

 

[Erin]

Yes! Love that song! Most of their songs are more blues-inspired than that one

Free! I'm obsessed with that song. my friends nick my ipod just to listen to it! lol

When I saw Bad Company in concert during high school, Paul had them play that song. And it's my dad's favorite song, he goes bonkers whenever he hears it on the radio. I didn't know there was more to that bad than just the song. I'll scope them out.

 

[Tiny Dancer]

Ah, I get it. Everyone is wrong but you? That should tell you something, eh? Anyway, each to their own. To me they are one of the most brilliant bands ever

To Johnny

I've never seen the hoopla about PF, either.

 

[KhaoticKharma]

Speaking of T-rexes, T Rex is a totally underrated band! In fact, other than Bowie, that whole genre (glam rock) seems to be overlooked...

overrated -
James Blunt (!!!!!!)
The Polyphonic Spree
The Hives
The Bravery
The Killers (i think they are good, but not worth all the hype they got)
Jet
Wolfmother (Even more than James Blunt - i hate them. everything they do is so pretenious and contrived)

more underrated -
My Bloody Valentine (they need more credit - they have influenced alot of musicians)
Jesus & Mary chain (as above)
Sonic Youth
Broken Social Scene
At the drive in
Ed Harcourt- ive paid more attention to him of late - hes to talented, shame hes not as recognised. one of the better male singer-songwriters at the moment *cough* james 'i am a jeff buckley copy' blunt *cough* 'here be monsters' if one of favourite cds
The (International) Noise Conspiracy - they are political and have something to say in every song. i love them. plus their cd comes with cool quotes and a list of books you should read
