| 5 Most Overrated Bands/artist
I had done this list before and given an explanation, yet it didn't
show up, so I did it again, let's see if the explanations get in. | 1 | | The Doors Album
I can't stand the legions of fans for "The Lizard King", The
Doors played the blues, very, very, very, poorly. Morrison's lyrics were often mistook for poetry when
they were simply drunken rambling's. Far tooo overrated by the general public who still yearn for the
heyday of the San Fransico scence when people could play the blues very poorly and pass it off as
music. | 2 | | Jimi Hendrix
Another choice that will be heavily disputed but the oft named "Greatest Guitarist Ever" in my own
opion, is just a bad Buddy Guy knockoff. Not taking away from the immense talent he did posses, Jimi
never seemed to be able to place his emotions in any specfic place like Buddy or Eric. He gets highly
overrated because of his death. | 3 | | Led Zeppelin
Freak out, bitch and moan. Zep is very overrated, they pretty standard electric blues, but not very well.
I'm not saying that they are a bad band, by no means, I own their entire collection but I believe that
some of the accolades heaped upon them is misplaced. | 4 | | The Yardbirds Album
While I don't disagree that the potential was there to have arguably one of the greatest bands ever, Beck
was far to experimental to play these standard blues, Page just wasn't very good, and Clapton was
poised to play his own blues. It might just be me, but the guy's voice who sang sound like the biggest
pussy ever to try to sing some Wolf and Johnny Lee Hooker songs. | 5 | | Ozzy Osbourne Album
He was alright when he was in Sabbath but solo he sounded everybit as bad or at times much worse
than all the music being put out in the 1980s. As he progressed he allowed horrible producers to steal
any mystic that had still carried over from Sabbath, to the point where he is just an old popstar
wannabe. | |

So Hendrix was the first man to put his amp volume up ZOMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | P13
10.15.07 | Wtf, Jimi hendrix is a fucking leader in phsyc rock, Doors have great lyrics, and led zeppelin is just over exposed. I hate Stairway to Heaven.. | Pluh
10.15.07 | i've always thought that Led Zeppelin was overrated. I'm not one to say they are a bad band or they don't have talent, because they do... but i never really saw the greatness that everyone else saw. sure they have a few songs that are pretty good, but i can only tolerate a very small amount of their stuff until i get bored of them. | Bfhurricane
10.16.07 | Zeppelin are overrated, but they deserve probably 70% of the recognition they get. They put out some amazing classic albums.
Ozzy Osbourne is just amazing, dont diss | McP3000
10.16.07 | 1. The Doors-Their first album was pretty good, the rest weren't
2. Jimi Hendrix-Great, he died...lets move on people. Purple Haze is good, but not much else.
3. Led Zeppelin-They rock hard, but any praise they get after Led Zeppelin IV is inflated. Their self-titled albums were amazing, the rest were far overrated...especially Phyiscal Graffiti
4. The Yardbirds-Basically a not as good version of Led imo.
5. Ozzy Osbourne-His first five with Black Sabbath, and his first three solo were amazing. He is one of the pioneers of Metal. | CushMG15
10.16.07 | You went about this well.
No seriously, you did. | Altmer
10.16.07 | uh guys ozzy osbourne was ok in sabbath but he sucks solo since black sabbath is all about tony iommi and geezer butler anyway | gasmaskman
