Most overrated bands?

[Phrozenspite]

oh boy time to get started on this....
Mayhem
Cradle of Filth
NIN
Van Halen
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Venom
Repulsion
Satyricon
Mortician
Megadeth
Converge
Faith No More, Tomahawk... you get the idea there
Queensryche
Tool
Radiohead
Cannibal Corpse
.... and my list goes on for a while i'll just leave it at that(keep in mind I just think these bands are overrated, I'm not saying that they don't make good music)

Faith No More???

Hell no, they are underrated no matter how much praise they get. They owned absolutely and completely.

 

[AjDeath]

Faith No More do own, but not the other fuckin gay Patton bands, those bands are overated.

 

[LuminousAether]

Not Mr Bungle. No fucking way. Mr Bungle is his best band and one of the 10 best bands ever. They are awesome.

Fantomas kicks enormous loads of ass as well. I'm not a huge fan of Tomahawk's albums, but they slaughter live. Patton = god.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

tool is the most over rated band in the history of sound. also over rated are rage against the machine, they blow.

guns and roses as well. megadeth too.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

NIN, CoF, Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, Amorphis, Paradise Lost, Grief, Sloth, In Flames, Manowar lol

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

im going to get flamed for the Paradise Lost thing lol

 

[Gentleman of the Lake]

Opeth

 

[Life Sucks]

guns and roses as well

Yeah, I agree 100%, but I thought we were just talking about metal bands. Then I'll go ahead and say Led Zeppelin; I fucking hate that band, they sucked.

 

[Disturbed4ntics]

Naw, actually I wanted the most overrated bands of all time. It doesn't matter what genre. Maybe this was they wrong place to post this then?

 

[LuminousAether]

Paradise Lost is another band that gets a lot of undue hatred, I fail to see how they are overrated.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

i dont know, they just seem overrated to me, every1 praises their first few albums so much that when i got around to listening i really wasnt that impressed, i guess at the time they came about it was something extraordinary, i never really saw them as part of the "peaceville three" i always saw it as katatonia,anathema, and my dying bride, two of which being my fav. and i would gladly choose anathema(new or old) over paradise lost

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

the most underrated band of all time in any genre? well then id have to say either Puff Daddy or 50 cent, or Tupac, one of those rapper bitches, oh and Garth Brooks

How are Dimmu Borgir overrated? Almost everyone hates them!

Same with Cradle of Filth.

Dimmu Borgir are one of the most UNDERRATED bands in metal, not overrated.

I'd have to disagree here. Both bands have huge followings. Hell, just look at all the threads praising Dimmu's latest album like it's the best thing since the invention of the condom.

CoF has gone platinum on one of their albums. I'd hardly call that underrated.

For every hater of Dimmu, there are 5 loyal followers. They simply keep there mouths shut.

Add My Dying Bride to the overrated list.

 

[LuminousAether]

Dimmu Borgir deserve it though, they basically created symphonic black metal.

 

[no country for old wainds]

I fail to see how My Dying Bride are overrated. I'm not a big fan of Turn Loose the Swans, but The Angel and the Dark River or The Dreadful Hours....just amazing.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

i think we can all agree that pantera are the most over rated band EVER ...along with tool.


fuck pantera!

 

[J.]

I won't argue with that. Hell, "The Insight and the Catharsis" is one of the best black metal songs ever written. Also, the third song on EDT is very good. Some of Stormblast is good as well. They just have too much filler for my blood.

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

i wouldnt say dimmu basically created symphonic black metal, but i think that they did lend a big hand in its creation, i dont really think any one band actually created symphonic black metal
