Most overrated bands

I personally don't mind CoF or Dimmu Borgir but I do think they're overrated because they keep getting praised as THE black metal bands just because they are the only black metal bands (well I guess CoF isn't really black metal) to hit the mainstream. I find them both pretty good but nothing to get a hardon for.
 
The more accessible something is the more it sells and the more people like it. It's not fucking rocket science.
 
being accessible and "catchy and hook-laden" seems to be a crime punishable by severe flaming on this site. i do like to be challenged musically but i also like songs that grab me without repeat listens. sometimes straight forward metal is all it takes to feed the fire. it worked for judas priest but as soon as an extreme metal band does it it becomes wrong.

Thanks for your .02 assclown. You probably live about 45 minutes from me, so do me the favor of calling me a "dumb cunt" to my face...or would you rather talk shit behind your screen than being scraped off the pavement? :lol:

What is popular is not always bad. What is bad is not always popular. What is thought of as good is not always good. What is thought of is bad is not always bad. People have thier own opinions to things and if someone says a particular band is bad, that's thier opinion. All expressions of opinion should be taken as just that. Expressions of opinion. Sometimes grounded in fact but never fact in and of themselves.
