oh man, i'm sure i'm gonna get berrated with slams on my character for this... the remones, sex pistols, and the clash. i really don't think they are that great. in fact, they aren't very talented, and their music sucks. i know, punk is about the image, but... i mean... come on, shouldn't you at least be a good musician to be in a band? not to mention, all punk is is noise. ugh.
ooooohhh...wet noodle lashes for you!!!! :wink:

Its okay youre entitled to your opinion...even if it IS wrong :P

I disagree... I think Lars is only overated in his mind... everyone else realizes that he's mediocre at best... he's not creative, he's just a joke. You could probably train a chimp to play what he plays. He's not horrible, but he's not as good as HE THINKS HE IS...

I agree. His ego is way too big for his head. He is a putz at best ..

Why I dread these threads. Makes me cry. THIS IS JUST NOISE?

Striking at mental apparitions
Like a drunk on a vacant street
Silently beset by the hands of time
And elegant in its fury
An aberrant crack as skeletons yield
To unrelenting gravity
While viruses prowl for helpless victims
Who succumb rapidly

(Tell me!) Tell me; where is the love?
In a careless creation
When there’s no “above”
There’s no justice
Just a cause and no cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
And what I’m frightened of
Is that they call it “God’s love”

Well we twist in torment and make believe
There’s a truth and we all submit
“Believe my eyes,” my brain replies
To all that they interpret

[Chorus]

I know there’s no reason for alarm
But who needs perspective when it comes to pain and harm
We can change our minds; there’s a better prize

But first you’ve got to…
[Chorus]

They call it God’s love
My pain is God’s love



This band Has more talent than all this top 40 shit.
Prolly why they lasted 28 years, huh?

Fuck, I hate these threads.

But DS, I cannot fully appreciate the point you are making as I have no idea who wrote/performed the song you have quoted, enlighten me.
Witchhunt (and all of us, me included), Lets not forget the point of the post....most over-rated, not who in your opinion, sucks. There IS a difference. Like, you said Seger sucks, well I'm not denying that haha, but I would never say he was over-rated because I think the music industry or media or whatever has relatively ignored his 'achievements' anyway.
Clapton SUCKS? Thats your opinion. Many, including me, would disagree (which is fine....). Over-rated? Probably.

I would say Kiss, without any hesitation.

Granted I was born in 1979 so I wasn't around during their heyday, but I grew up with classic rock and 80's metal, so I'm familiar with the style of music.

I thought that their musicianship was less than adequate, and Ace Frehely was certainly NOT a god on guitar one bit.
Actually there wasn't any one band member that impressed me musically.

Their image was probably stolen from Alice Cooper to some extent.
They weren't anywhere close to being heavy, compared to Sabbath, Priest, and dare I say Zeppelin.

The songs in themselves were not even really that technical.

People have made the argument that it was them or disco.
Well in 1975-77, I would have taken Sabbath over Kiss any day of the week.

They were at the right time at the right place I guess, and in my eyes they were nothing short of sellouts and propaganda bullshit, that focused more on selling their image than making good music.

I do however like Gene Simmons face paint, only cause it reminds me of early King Diamond during the "Don't break the Oath" era.

Sorry Kiss Army members, but I have nothing for that band at all.
And after John Cougar kicks Tom Petty's ass, he can work them over. hahaha!!!

look, i knew i was gonna get questioned or whatever, i just can't stand punk rock. everyone that's into it is always like "oh, the ramones are sooooo good" no, they aren't. they were shitty musicians, all the songs sound the same, and personally, i can't stand it. and yea, i think punk rock is about having that "i'm not conforming" image. but whatever, that's just my opinion

Without a doubt...what in the HELL is KID ROCK???
Who is this inbred jackass??
What's his mystique?
Who loves him and why?

I believe that Kid Rock is a super-secret 20 year sociology experiment conducted by the all-knowing, muy-influential Illuminati from their Platinum Palace (band name, anyone?) atop the Swiss Alps. At 3:00AM, their Gene-Soldiers found the dumbest, foulest, cockiest redneck on the planet face-down in his own puke and lies, destroyed all his shirts, then whisked him off to Nashville.

The Experiment: If we tell the public that this guy is cool and charming and talented for long enough, will they believe it.

America does.
Prepare for annihilation!
