Controversial opinions on metal

[Elric of Melniboné]

The Beatles are a band that I find to be severely overrated, but when they get it right, they do it in a big way. They're just very inconsistent.

 

[CiG]

Basically my feeling too.

Also the producer George Martin was just as vital to any successes or ideas they had as any member of the band.

That's why he's called the 5th Beatle.

I could hardly think them inconsistent but I can see why certain songs wouldn't appeal to everyone.

 

[MrTagoMago]

While Dark Side of the Moon isn't one of my favorite albums anymore I have to say it is the kind of album that just feels iconic in every sense from the album art to the music.


Most overrated band ever is Radiohead.

 

[Baroque]

Rolling Stones are super overrated

 

[rusty water]

I agree the Rolling Stones are super-overrated. I would imagine the Beatles were very big in their day, their era was 3 or 4 decades ago! For a band to be still spoken about, and on a Metal forum, shows their power.They were excellent songwriters whom learned their craft the hard way, and writing the songs was no accident, they knew what was efficacious. A different type of music to today and people today could`nt write songs in that style as good as the Beatles anymore.

Aye, Radiohead are shyte.

The Beatles have a lot of songs that are pretty formulaic and/or boring that even they acknowledged were throwaways.

Sorry to change topic but..

Maybe this isn't controversial but Apollo Papathanasio fucking sucks. I'm not familiar with his past projects.. but Spiritual Beggars have been one of my favorite bands for years and this guy hasn't impressed me at all since he joined. And it sucks because the last two SB albums have been amazing musically but his singing just makes me cringe. He has no range, always seems to be singing at the same strained pitch. Basically doing a piss poor Ian Gillan impersonation and failing miserably. Amott needs to get a real singer again.

Most overrated band ever is Coldplay*

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... dont think i've ever listened to a coldplay track or even know what they sound like. Lucky me.

 

[The Butt]

Never liked the Beatles. At all.

Pink Floyd on the other hand; Wish You Were Here, Animals, or Dark Side, just to name a few... absolutely mint.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath was a filler and listening to it you can easily tell. It's still a classic and their second most famous song.

A Saucerful of secrets is underrated

I dunno how. They get way more hate from what I've seen.

Not sure what the ? Is for. Gotta explain what you're confused about. Paranoid the song though was a last minute adition to add leanth to the album however it ended up being a classic.

A bit confused by your definition of what filler is. Obviously the band liked the song, or they wouldn't have made it both the second track on the album and the title track.

How does one not enjoy Pink Floyd

A filler I would say is something that was made to fill in more space for the album. Im not saying they didn't like it but they didn't put as much time into it as the other tracks and I doubt they expected it to be such a massive hit. I don't think filler necessarily means bad or poor songs. It's easy to see though where Paranoid was something they just came up with last second.
