Most overrated musical act of all time?

You took "girl or boy band designed to sell clothing instead of music" and came up with sex pistols?

What's in that blue stuff? And where is it commonly available?

He's right. Malcolm McLaren was just the Lou Pearlman of his day.

I thought that Mclaren created styles for the New York Dolls but Sex Pistols styling was mostly Jonny's own panache?

Metallica I'll give you, but Iron Maiden had a great style that I greatly prefer over the slower American style. It's no Finnish metal though :cheese:

I can understand your sentiment when you're surrounded by greatness.

I don't some people are understanding the point here... just because a band mentioned is "your favorite band of all time" it doesn't mean they are not overrated... In fact... it could indeed prove the point...

I was never into Dave Matthews at all, and didn't see what all the fuss was about.

Hannah Montana. I don't get it. The music is terrible and there really isn't any reason to give a crap anyway.

Eh... I'd say Radiohead.
And Fall Out Boy (and all those boy bands with those dumbass high-pitched voices) and Linkin Park, but that's like stating the obvious.

Oh god, I can't stand Dave Matthews Band. Everytime I hear I them my first instinct is to stick a fork in my eye. Oh god, the suckness. So overrated, I'm convinced their songs are unlistenable.

Unfortunately it's impossible to say this without sounding horrifically condescending, but please trust me when I say I don't expect ISFPs to appreciate the value in Radiohead.

Not that that's a bad thing, just that...it probably factors into your opinion in calling such an obviously talented band "the most overrated"...just shows that you're missing a lot of context.

Something reminded me of this post by you. I really didn't get it. Were you having a cry because I dissed your favourite band? Explain to me exactly why an ISFP couldn't get Radiohead. Then explain what music an ENTP can't get. I don't believe you.

it took until page 19 for someone to mention metallica!?!?!? :horor:

every single fucking song that they put out sounds exactly like every other song they do... and they're not really a joy to listen to either :sick:

also, Fallout Boy... I had to put up with plenty of people who worshipped them in college :rolli: And Breaking Benjamin! I nearly forgot my loathing for them after hearing them talked about as "the greatest band ever!" by people after that horrible song "diary of jane" came out! :steam:

Radiohead really seems to appeal to Ns.

INTPs love Radiohead and Tool. I still try to get into Tool, but I don't see the greatness.
