Countess: Dead Artists Are Overrated

Countess 09.12.10	who did i miss?
taroo 09.12.10	3 definatly 1 rules!
East Hastings 09.12.10	Jeff Buckley
Counterfeit 09.12.10	Agreed with 2. Not your descrip though, just that he's massively overrated.
AliW1993 09.12.10	Cobain wasn't overrated imo I'd have Jim Morrisson
Dryden 09.12.10	youre dead on about 3
Countess 09.12.10	"SamuelJKrieg 09.12.10 yet another shit list from another shit user/alt account" says someone who's a shit user and/or an alt
Countess 09.12.10	@ Counterfeit what part of my desc for 2 do you disagree with?
Counterfeit 09.12.10	Well, a lot of the West vs. East was media hype bullshit, and by the time he was all on the Wests dick was when he was signed to Death Row, where basically he was under Suge Knights control (If I remember correctly.) My problem is that no one ever remembers him for albums like Me Against The World. They all think All Eyez On Me is his best album, when clearly it isn't. It's boring and got too much filler. And since the singles and everything were so successful by when he died, it was like BAM! Greatest rapper ever. And I'm all like "No, not even close" Also, everyone forgets that he was a rapist. lol
Countess 09.12.10	so once again: what part of my desc do you disagree with?
bailar12 09.12.10	needz moar dio
Counterfeit 09.12.10	well. where i said idgiaf if people give him street cred, that he had in ways. or if he was repping westside even if he was from ny
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	that guitarist guy umm hendrix
Countess 09.12.10	Hendrix didn't make it on here cuz he was a great guitarist but as far as songwriting and singing he was very meh
DoubtGin 09.12.10	havent actually listened to 1 and 2 (besides their most popular songs) but you are wrong about Nirvana
bloc 09.12.10	Didn't Nirvana do a bad cover of Sweet Child O' Mine recently?
Countess 09.12.10	"Didn't Nirvana do a bad cover of Sweet Child O' Mine recently?" lol well it couldn't have been TOO recently since Cobain's been dead for 15+ yrs!
SoapySoap 09.12.10	I like all of them. People just mad.
Big Baby Jesus 09.12.10	2Pac is overrated, but still very good. Just nowhere near as good as the artists he's generally considered better than.
Counterfeit 09.12.10	If anyone says ODB is overrated I'll kill their faces.
Countess 09.12.10	"no shit you fucking captain obvious retard" what/who was that for?
Countess 09.12.10	"cobain didnt kill himself" he didn't?
mozambique 09.12.10	Mehvana lol
Titan50 09.12.10	"below average guitarist, vocalist and songwriter "oh he was sooo troubled" maybe he shouldn't have married a crazy bitch, who WOULDN'T wanna kill themselves if they had to deal with HER?" Oh for fuck sake, Kurt was one of the greatest frontman in rock history. Undisputable.
Countess 09.12.10	"nirvana was good dude" no, they really weren't
Counterfeit 09.12.10	OMG CONSPIRACY THEORIES! THERE'S ALIENS IN AREA 51!
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	not for rebellious 14 year olds clearly
Countess 09.12.10	"cobain had I believe it was 3 times the lethal dosage of heroine in his system." so SHE put it in his system?
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	megadave knows the answers to all mysteries. hes seen the aliens in area 51 and theres a ghost in his attic and he has not seen god he was just on drugs at teh time
Countess 09.12.10	"and nirvana's one of those bands you had to be there to enjoy" yeah that's what ppl say about the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd... wait no they don't
Countess 09.12.10	@ andcas hadn't he already OD'd on heroin once?
Counterfeit 09.12.10	I KILLED KURT COBAIN
RForster 09.12.10	Say what u want about kurt Cobains Guitar/Songwriting but he had an amazing voice . And whats your pomblem with Marley one of the most inspirational people ever who else gets shot and plays the next day.Plus check out Redemption Song song if u think his lyrics are shit.
Counterfeit 09.12.10	He has a voice like MegaDave. You like it or you don't.
bailar12 09.12.10	the man who wrote the song "i hate myself and want to die" kills himself big surprise
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	megadave has the voice of angels but like satan angels which are awesom
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	woah thread moving too fast
Countess 09.12.10	" kurt's voice was supposed to sound like shit," well he succeeded!
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	http://blog.webfoot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ElephantPoo1.jpg
Titan50 09.12.10	People who criticise Kurt's voice and his guitar playing as being "sloppy" are fucking retards Just sayin
RForster 09.12.10	obviously its not everyones cup of tea and it was guttural but still i think had good range when he wanted to and was a very passionate voice which conveyed his pain even if his lyrics didnt do it so well.
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	yah nirvana was real raw TRVE KVLT GRUNGE
Countess 09.12.10	ok enough about Kurt lets talk about how overrated Bob Marley is now
Counterfeit 09.12.10	but it's wrong
Spec 09.12.10	Magnets... how do they work?
RForster 09.12.10	haha ok simply put he bloody isn't !! one of the few that deserves the accolades he gets.
Countess 09.12.10	Bob Marley was so influential right? who did he influence?
DiceMan 09.12.10	Slaying everyone who says Jeff Buckley.
Countess 09.12.10	"other raggae artists?" names plz?
RippingCorpse 09.12.10	cliff burton
Countess 09.12.10	"damien marley" OTHER names besides his children?
bailar12 09.12.10	rique would go gay for teh buckley and teh smith
Hyperion1001 09.12.10	John Lennon. And i agree with this list.
Countess 09.12.10	"bob marley gives people a excuse to be a new age hippie or pot head. thats it." absolutely, stoners LOVE him, they may not know his music but they'll be wearing shirts of him
RForster 09.12.10	well thats the same with led zeppelin or the beatles doesnt stop them from being good just means u get some hipster who put fashion above substance. And who did he influence hmmm maybe pretty much any reggae artist who has been able to make it in the eu or america. not to mention bands like U2 Eric clapton and many more. plus his things on social justice are fantastic amazingly influential and in a positve way.
mozambique 09.12.10	bob marley is pretty meh too some decent stuff but really i dont ever listen to him. i couldn't care less about tupac either. kurt cobain was good when i was young and was easily influenced by what the majority of people listened to and what was played on the radio. you could argue that he should still get respect for being a major rock icon and blah blah blah but i honestly dont give a shit about him
RForster 09.12.10	The Clash aswell i do belive were influenced by him but if u dont like him fair enough perhaps to overated and many people say thay like him to apear trendy but for me i think he is very good indeed.
Counterfeit 09.12.10	thought of one. Ramones. They fucking sucked, get over it.
DiceMan 09.12.10	There are better rappers than 2pac, but some of his fans don't get that.
ConsiderPhlebas 09.12.10	The Ramones were great in their day, although the music hasn't aged well. Bob Marley, though? Dude.
Counterfeit 09.12.10	Ramones were boring as shit
Baphomet 09.12.10	Do Elliot Smith! Or a Barrel Roll!
Countess 09.12.10	"lets not forget he was a nice guy though. he shot the sheriff but he didn't shoot the deputy." lol well yea
Counterfeit 09.12.10	Elliott**** you twats
ConsiderPhlebas 09.12.10	"Ramones were boring as shit." Unless you were there, how could you know?
Countess 09.12.10	@ ConsiderPhlebas so you're saying you had to be there to appreciate the Ramones?
Counterfeit 09.12.10	Rephrasing for Phleb I find the Ramones music to be very boring, even if I weren't there to witness everything going on in the music scene at the time.
FruityCatOfDoom 09.13.10	Kurt cobain and Bob marley are still live smoking a blunt on a beach somewhere
FruityCatOfDoom 09.13.10	With Elvis
qwe3 09.13.10	don't knock elvis until youve heard the sun sessions
LepreCon 09.13.10	Elvis was cooler than your mother, andcas
Intothepit 09.13.10	You know who's overrated? jesus.
Maniac! 09.13.10	calling bob marley overrated is one of the most idiotic things I have ever read.
sniper 09.13.10	Fuck this list.
Intothepit 09.13.10	Underrated= Satan Overrated= Jesus
Apollo 09.13.10	calling bob marley overrated is one of the most idiotic things I have ever read [2] seriously though, this gives me little hope/faith in the human race if someone actually dislikes Bob Marley.
Counterfeit 09.13.10	Totes Taylor Swift. I don't hate her or her music, but she's soooo overrated. It's supposed to be this heartfelt music and shit, but I just don't feel it. When you see her perform live she just has this emotionless expression like she's completely detached from the music that's "coming out of her soul" or whatever, idk, just a thought.
Apollo 09.13.10	Reggae for the most part sucks. Bob Marley being the exception.
RForster 09.13.10	haha well alot does but marley deffo doesn't and the way the clash adopted it was fuckin brilliant.
americanmusicmachine 09.13.10	what's going on?
BigHans 09.13.10	Elvis rules. And yes, dead artists are overrated. Doesnt mean they werent great. Means that death automatically vaults a legacy.
botb 09.13.10	1 is by no means overrated
Maniac! 09.13.10	Johnny Cash has been rumored a racist also... so your point remains invalid
qwe3 09.13.10	andcas that was pretty retarded, what you just said.
WatchItExplode 09.13.10	did no one mention Bradley Nowell?
Emim 09.13.10	The sad part is that most of them would no doubt have gone on to create worse and worse music, eventually becoming just like everyone else.
Prolapse 09.13.10	wow so edgy
qwe3 09.13.10	you are, but you did the andcas thing of thinking you had to find a retarded way to justify not liking him
Jesuslaves 09.13.10	wtf this thread
Emim 09.13.10	what if they were eskimo artists? would you care then?
RForster 09.13.10	most artists have their roots in black music so does johnny cash. Infact every artist has no modern music could exsist without it. What do u feel about Led led zeppelin for example?
RForster 09.13.10	ah right well that point backfired but johhny cash took alot from black artists. rock and roll is manly a bunch of white guys so most have probably taken something from it. what do u mean by steal anyway( i know nothing about elvis).
RForster 09.13.10	Yeah same much prefer him wasnt having ago.
Torii 09.14.10	Mike portnoy... oh wait.
HalfManHalfAmazing 09.14.10	2Pac is overrated as hell
Poet 09.14.10	Tupac is the shit
illmitch 09.14.10	ive only seen like 5 of halfmans comments but i can already tell hes a retard
qwe3 09.14.10	i dont rly like tupac :(
illmitch 09.15.10	listen 2 me against the world if that doesnt do it 4 u idk man yo we still bros tho
qwe3 09.15.10	I'll listen to it again, haven't in a while
MyRatingisLaw 09.16.10	2pac was beyond amazing. Agreed with Nirvana. And Isis are much more awesome now they are dead
acorncheese 09.16.10	Arian Foster.
