Yes. I despise Gene Simmons so much I have created the “Gene Simmons Rule”…I will never listen to a Kiss song as long as I live. Dude is such a pathetic egomaniac, that if he knew my rule, he’d be sad.
Ah, what the hell is this topic doing here?? I start a “off topic” thread and it gets trashed or closed…..so, are there favorites posters here??
You started a nakedly political thread in the Packer forum. This is a music thread in the lounge.
If you still don't see the difference, would you like somebody to draw pictures for you?

You're just jealous of all those hair bands.
Starland Vocal Band
Strongly disagree. Springsteen / E Street will go down as one of the greatest live and studio bands of all times. On their 2012 world tour the band played something like 230 different songs ... no other band comes close. They learn songs that are pertain to the specific city they are playing , they play requests, they play for 3 and a half hours, regularly pulls fans on to the stage to perform with him and the band, the only performer to have top 5 albums in 6 consecutive decades, performers from every genre (Prince, Billy Ray Cyrus, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam,....) have talked about his influence on their music..."over rated"???
The Doors
Honestly, I like the Doors but my go-to for the psychedelic stuff is Iron Butterfly.
Hateful (TM)
Mumford and Sons. Or as I refer to them "the mulford brothers". End of discussion. Though the Dave Matthews Band is in the discussion too.
Oh, yeah. Dave Matthews. That's a keeper for this list.
Coming from the musician’s set, this topic usually gets me in trouble. But I have always felt Dream Theatre was way overrated.
Now this is not on their musicianship- that’s off the charts. Individually some of the greatest on their instruments.
But their music? Uhhhhg… no fucking soul. Singer is out there howling, 65 time signatures and changes and things only a very small subset of nerd rock musicians would appreciate. Tool is half the band on their instruments, and their music is 100 times more interesting and impactful- and they’re as nerd rock as it gets.
Can somebody be overrated if nobody ever heard of them?
Not everybody likes the shit you like. A stupid, one hit wonder may hold meaning for someone else. They all had their place in time.
That's why shit like the Rock N' Roll HOF is fucking stupid.
It's music.
Now all show off your tour t-shirt collection you losers.
You're welcome.
Fuck you.

Lol… depends on who you hang with I guess. Everyone I know is aware of Dream Theatre…

Yes… overrated. And I would put Morrisey and Bob Dylan in the same category. A bunch of NYC dipshits want to tell us what’s great music? Times Square beatniks think they know what great music is? Listen to it… it’s dogshit…
You are truly a pile of shit on every level by a country fucking mile.
I forgot about Oasis

Maybe a most underrated band/artist would be more useful. Plenty of talent out there now and in years past that for whatever reason fell between the cracks. I would guess that most of us have an ‘unknown’ that we would like the world to become aware of.
Here is a song written by a young lady, Kate Wolf who died of cancer 30 years ago at age 44, sung by Dave Alvin who has bummed around the music business for 50 years with marginal success. The duet voice is Christy McWilson who also has been 20 feet from stardom for years. Kate and Dave have many a good songs and have given me and my wife much enjoyment.
Give it a listen and bring yours on.
And that's why you're truly human pollution. You can't even keep your hate delusions out of art.

Oh no, you presumptuous bag of dicks. I just have total contempt for you. You alone.
Musical taste is different. I actually respect differences in opinion on music, as the topic occupies a significant part of my life.

This is a great post. Love discovering new artists who even if just in one moment captures something beautiful. Because of independent musical production and the digital age, there’s so much more available today than in the past. There are more gems out there than ever. And I love it…

Just not the dipshits from NYC.
Such a champion of art.
I've always been enthralled by Pink Moon and the very sad story of Nick Drake.

Precisely… appreciate you displaying your ignorance, fuckhead…

They came out with the makeup when it was a new concept and had a great marketing machine. Musically, I can’t think of a professional band that lacks so much talent. I mean, wow, just wow, they suck. I turn the channel every time I hear them.
@Fedya posted:You're just jealous of all those hair bands.
Not them. Kiss was the least talented of them all. By far.
@PackerHawk posted:Greatful Dead.
They’re right up there, for sure, I agree. More musically talented than Kiss, but highly overrated. I can’t think of one song by them I like.
