In Your Opinion, The Most Overrated, Well Known Rock Band Is....

uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@DarkHeaven Beach Boys, too. They were the original "boy band" by a few years. I think the Fabs stole a lot of bands' thunder.
@uncalled4 I just wasn’t so much into The Beach Boys. But yeah, I agree. To be fair, they were all before my time originally. So, that makes it different.
@DeluxedEdition Gene Simmons acts like he is such hot stuff. He needs a neck brace to hold up that ego of his. I got so sick of seeing him stick out his tongue. 🙄😜🤪👎

@bookerdana I've only known U2 post 2000 that might be the problem
bookerdana · M
@Lostpoet Such a dirty trick video bombing ya like that 😈 Everyone has their faves but the choices of the crowd ranged from Manfred Mann to the Beatles (HERESY)😀

If ya get the chance check out Live at Red Rocks-U2..or naught,I think they are incredibly mesmerizing and inventive
Lostpoet · M
@bookerdana I will.👍

Somehow, the Sex Pistols are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame....that’s about as overrated as it gets.
graphite · 61-69, M
@graphite Sex Pistols didn't even attend their own RRHoF induction. https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-sex-pistols-refused-to-be-at-their-rock-roll-hall-of-fame-induction.html/
@graphite I will agree with that. The Sex Pistols impacted many punkish genre musicians (I know they did me,) well beyond their one album career. Arguments could be made for both. All I know, is I liked them and the did impact my style.
Human1000 · M
@DragonFruit Fair point. I think their impact is why they made it. I can’t imagine John Lydon giving a shit, except perhaps in an ironic way.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
KISS - a bunch a overrated nancy's all dressed up in makeup
@nedkelly not wrong… but are they really a band? Or more so a gimmick like The Monkeys?
@nedkelly what bout Ace Frehely. HE OK
graphite · 61-69, M
@nedkelly Kiss were mostly about marketing and image. Nobody would give them any awards for musicianship. Some of their songs ("Shock Me") weren't bad. Some ("Hooligan") were plain awful.

[b]YEAH!!![/b] The Stones are Awesome!!!
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@SW-User without a doubt
Grand Funk Railroad

You've probably never heard of them, but they were way hyped and way overrated in the late 60s early 70s.
IM5688 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues I think Grand Funk Railroad was very under rated.
@IM5688 As they used to say in the old country:

De gustibus non disputandum est
IM5688 · 61-69, M
@ElwoodBlues Agreed, matters of taste should not be disputed.
I went to the rock&roll hof full list of inductees 👇
https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/a-z
for the basis of my opinion, top of their list was ABBA, in alphabetical order, top of my list of most over rated is ABBA.
@checkoutanytime I can agree with that!!
ReneeT · 61-69, M
KISS. I always thought their songs were very overrated
@ReneeT sooooo much.
graphite · 61-69, M
@ReneeT They were never really rated as much to begin with. Known for their shows and makeup but never for great music.

John Lennon
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@Lostpoet none apply to me
IM5688 · 61-69, M
@MasterLee I tend to agree with you on John Lennon. While he was part of one of the greatest bands known and he did have talent, I believe that his popularity/fame got in the way. I believe it got to the point where he could put total garbage on a record, but because his name was on it, it sold millions.
Lostpoet · M
@IM5688 It might be a generational thing, but I like Lennon's solo stuff more than i like the Beatles. But i also like Bob Dylans Rock albums more than his acoustic guitar type stuff. And people that were his fans at the didn't like when he went electric.

@AmigoConBeneficios [media=https://youtu.be/JhyzGDPwmYU]
@AmigoConBeneficios for a short time, at least
Limp Bizkit is the top of the spear of the holy trifecta of suck ass music, flanked by Nickelback and Creed. Not sure if they are overhyped at least anymore, since many people besides me hate them. lol
@SW-User Jesus, I hate you sometimes. Throws you back in your pussy cave.
Lostpoet · M
@DarkHeaven I have to agree with this. Although Limbizkit is good workout music.

@MasterLee George Harrison was great!!
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@ElwoodBlues not the one from the beatles
Poison was kind of trash.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
graphite · 61-69, M
@ChipmunkErnie Underrated, if anything.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@graphite Underrated by who?
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
Rolling stones

Has to be a band?

Michael Jackson. If it has to be a band, I have two candidates, Aerosmith or Guns N Roses.
@thewindupbirdchronicles Slash is great but Axel is just trash. lol
DragonFruit · 61-69, M
I'm going to change my #1 abswer to Manfred Mann.
As overhyped as I feel The Sex Pistols are, they are better than this 2nd rate cover band that I don't even want to think about.
Manfred Mann hasn't had any hits that were originals, yet are sometimes highly praised. The only cover Iiked was Doo Wah Diddy Diddy....sfter that a lot of bad covers of Dylan and Spri ngsteen.
Bartleby · 51-55, M
@DragonFruit Good call but I’m not sure they were rated enough to be overrated. I forgot they existed until you just mentioned them. 🤣
@DragonFruit Straight trash. lol
DDonde · 31-35, M
IM5688 · 61-69, M
@DDonde I had forgotten about them, but I agree with you.
@DDonde Are they really a band, though? Or more a gimmick like the Monkeys?
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
Not sure. Probably most bands that started since 2000. I mostly listen to 80's and lower.

That's a hard one. Maybe the Rolling Stones or Queen.

I know the most underrated rock band is Dirty White Boy (and no, I don't mean the song by Foreigner).
graphite · 61-69, M
Here's an underrated band, known more for their haircuts than their great music. Paul Reynolds (guitar) could play. [media=https://youtu.be/ZgB1fd07rfs]
IM5688 · 61-69, M
I'm surprised no one has said The Rolling Stones as of yet.
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@IM5688 You gave me that idea.

Queen, Kiss, Styx

Kiss But I like Them
Human1000 · M
U2 for sure. But what about KISS? Maybe KISS becaus they are pretty awful.
Payolas and everything else they called themselves 🤢
