To be fair, Eddie has never taken credit for inventing tapping. He just made it famous. Showman SP's: were just gonna make it look *that* much better.
The Who: Musical theater majors with a minor in Performance Art. Just too self-aware for their own good.
Nirvana was raw af. It made them great but it also made them overrated. I think KC was trapped in his own frustration as a musician. Always falling back on sloppy/self-pity/rage and poor guitar playing.
You know how the Beatles reinvented themselves with India? If Nirvana met the Dhali Llama they would have become Blind Melon. (Underrated!)
This is difficult because even crap bands are still great or talented! I could give each big compliments too but that isn't the spirit of the thread.
Most indie bands are overrated. I can't even list them all. Just hacks who get a mandolin they picked up from a flea market and add that 2nd lesson experience to some terrible new-timey drum and fife music. Hard pass.
Meg White got lucky.
