October 19, 200818 yr underrated: mystery jets Agreed! They deserve so much more recognition. :wacky:
October 19, 200818 yr overrated: arcade fire ( i just dont get it :\ ) the kooks underrated : razorlight editors bloc party
October 20, 200818 yr Aaah that's a hazardous thread... whatever you write it's gonna piss off someone. I think underrated bands are : Archive The Hoosiers (their vocalist is fantastic) The Mars Volta (they should be the world's n°1 band but they're almost unknown) About what you wrote, NeSs1776, I agree about Oasis (totally), but not about Radiohead and Pink Floyd (at all). The problem with those two bands if that if you don't put yourself a hundred percent into their music, you really don't get what makes them so special. So, overrated : AC/DC Nirvana (two chords and you rule the world) The Rolling Stones (not even a rock band to me) Oasis (not even a band to me) Alright. You can throw your stones... The Mars Volta are a brilliant band, Omar rocks :D
October 20, 200818 yr Underrated: The Album Leaf Dr. Dog Grizzly Bear Andrew Bird Overrated: The Rolling Stones (their early stuff is good, now they're a joke) The Eagles Queen Nirvana Oasis The White Stripes

October 20, 200818 yr Overrated: Keane Fall Out Boy Oasis Muse Arcade Fire Underrated: The Fray The Billionaires Augustana
October 20, 200818 yr Underrated: The Album Leaf Dr. Dog Grizzly Bear Andrew Bird Overrated: The Rolling Stones (their early stuff is good, now they're a joke) The Eagles Queen Nirvana Oasis The White Stripes The Album Leaf are an amazing band. Sort of like a bit more poppy/ambient Sigur Ros but very different as well. Worth checking out.
October 20, 200818 yr Overrated: Keane Fall Out Boy Oasis Muse Arcade Fire Underrated: The Fray The Billionaires Augustana The Fray are arse.
October 20, 200817 yr Overrated Travis ... .... ??!? :angry: :P seriously, travis are extremely underrated, especially since let's say 2003.
October 20, 200817 yr Well, ofcourse there bands that aren't scoring hits (like The Arcade Fire), but can you call them underrated? Most people are very positive about them, but they are just not so popular. Does that mean that they are underrated? You can consider a band like Coldplay both underrated and overrated. There are lots of Coldplay-lovers but also lots of Coldplay-haters.
October 20, 200817 yr Have you heard Rainbow Chaser or Pentecost Hotel? I believe if you mention them they should be great songs, really, but I doubt two or even ten great and deep and meaningful songs (if you can find them) can change the opinion I made listening to about fifty of them... :( The Mars Volta are a brilliant band' date=' Omar rocks :D[/quote'] I. Love. You. :heart:
October 20, 200817 yr OVERRATED: Oasis (how better than Coldplay?) Jason Mraz (good but just a Jack Johnson copy) EVERY RAP ARTIST UNDERRATED: O.A.R. (more people need to hear their new album) Muse (one of the better bands out there today) John Mayer (people don't appreciate his abilities enough, he's our generation's Hendrix/SRV) JUST RIGHT: Coldplay (they're pretty big, they'll get bigger next album) Radiohead (they've earned their status) Red Hot Chili Peppers (I have yet to meet anyone who hates them)
October 20, 200817 yr Overrated The Jonas Brothers Nickelback Kanye West Brittany Spears Lil Wayne M.I.A. Madonna Taylor Swift Darious Rucker David Archuletta I know many of these are not bands. but they are way too over rated and over played here in the states. IMO Oh and Mylie friggen Cyrus and her Dad

Yeah they had some decent songs.. but i never found any of there stuff original. it was just generic alternative grunge for the time being.

And Muse are not underrated. I love them, but I actually think they're overrated.

For overrated I think Kanye West, he's an annoying arrogant prick who seems to love sampling other peoples work.
October 22, 200817 yr And nirvana is faaaaaaaaaaaaar overrated. Yeah they had some decent songs.. but i never found any of there stuff original. it was just generic alternative grunge for the time being. I seem to always end up argueing with people when I give my opinion that The Smashing Pumpkins and Alice in Chains are better than Nirvana, I'm glad it's not just me that think Nirvana are overrated.
October 22, 200817 yr i dont know if this thread has been done before?! what do you guys think are the top3 most over/underrated bands heres mine OVERRATED 1.Radiohead 2.Pink Floyd 3.Oasis (other bands- Verve, Nirvana) UNDERRATED 1.Coldplay :sneaky: ofcourse 2.Muse 3.Jonas Brothers...... ....:laugh3: just kidding I will go puke all over this thread now. *proceeds to do so*
October 22, 200817 yr You just don't know the good Rap artists. And Muse are not underrated. I love them, but I actually think they're overrated. how the hell are Muse overrated?
October 22, 200817 yr Some might say they're the greatest band out there, spreading clever music all over the world, but many bands are a lot more inventive and clever, that's all.
October 23, 200817 yr you people are so so young..... Pearl Jam probably the best, Nirvana definetily the first & leader of the time. Most of the bands spoken of, I like to a degree. Rap music I can not stomach, sorry, but it is vile. One of the best band of the past 30 years is The Smiths, buy an album or better yet a compilation, listen to it for one week and you will agree. The Smiths highly reverred and influential as they still are, also one of the most under rated bands of all time. Most of the great bands listed including Coldplay, Oasis, Keane, all list The Smiths as a major influence, anyone who misses out on them is missing out on an absolute pillar of alt/indie whatever you wanna call it rock.
October 24, 200817 yr I can't believe I forgot to mention The Smiths. I totally agree, tEx, The Smiths should be more renowned than that, regarding the influence they still have today. Bands like Muse, Placebo and Radiohead acknowledge it today.
October 24, 200817 yr How the fuck are The Smiths underrated? What world do you live in? I like them but they have such high regard as a band, it's not as if nobody knows about them
October 24, 200817 yr And Muse are not underrated. I love them, but I actually think they're overrated. Not in the States, Muse is one band that has had enormous trouble crossing the pond, they're mostly unheard of and the only thing people know them for is "Knights of Cydonia" in guitar hero.
October 25, 200817 yr ^ Well in Europe it's not the same at all !! I have difficulties to imagine what you're describing about the States, because it's really far from what I see here ^^
