08.23.09 | I feel ESPECIALLY strongly about NIN, considering how many people on here praise them so fucking much. Generic, tedious bullshit. |
Romulus
08.23.09 | 5,6,8 not at all |
Roach
08.23.09 | agree with the whole list except 2 and 4 |
mitch91
08.23.09 | I think Thrice are way over rated on this website. |
illmitch
08.23.09 | agree with the whole list except 2 |
Boognish
08.23.09 | Yeah, Opeth maybe not so much. I just put them here cos i know people that obsess over them to a ridiculous extent. They're ok, but the predictable little acoustic sections and clean vocals get kind of annoying.

Hayzte
08.23.09 | 5 Is really overrated, but 2 ....not quite |
Prophet178
08.23.09 | No "Overrated" list would be complete without Opeth....
Seriously, name one metal band that has put out 9 consecutive critically acclaimed records while still staying fresh and original. I know I can't think of any.
And about NIN, just because they have gained commercial success doesn't make them overrated. I bet if NIN stayed in the underground and never broke into the mainstream, everyone would be praising them.
And Neutral Milk Hotel? I guess [i]Aeroplane[/i] hasn't clicked for you yet. Keep listening, it's worth it. Same with 4, they are pretty much Pioneers in the country/indie scene, hardly overrated.
Thrice is only overrated on Sputnik, why I have no idea. The rest on this list I can partially agree with. |
Tulannical
08.23.09 | 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10 definately |
PuddlesPuddles
08.23.09 | 2, 3 are definitely overrated |
EVedder27
08.23.09 | I agree with 3 |
KILL
08.23.09 | i hate u all |

08.23.09 | "I feel ESPECIALLY strongly about NIN, considering how many people on here praise them so fucking much. Generic, tedious bullshit."
This makes no logical sense
Congratulations, you're a tard |
Blindsided
08.23.09 | Prophet is right about NIN. Mastodon kinda are but their still great and SOAD is a personal favorite so whatever. |
AnotherBrick
08.23.09 | i definitely agree with 2, 5, 6 |
Greggers
08.23.09 | "Seriously, name one metal band that has put out 9 consecutive critically acclaimed records while still staying fresh and original. I know I can't think of any."
^This
They're not overrated if they DESERVE the praise IMO, and Opeth definitely deserve the praise. *fanboy alert* |
theacademy
08.23.09 | pantera and thrice are two of the greatest bands of all time.
i don't care what you think (as long as it's about me (nomo)) |
Boognish
08.23.09 | NIN= 'edgy' music for people who don't actually know anything about music. Trent Reznor has nothing original to offer but overwrought, fake, bullshit. If you're over 18 and still listen to this garbage then you should be ashamed of yourself. |
Boognish
08.23.09 | ^Oh come on, RHCP aren't really 'overrated'.... most of the bands on this list are critics favourites. It goes without saying that RHCP are horrible. |
red0
08.23.09 | 1-Not Overrated
2-Very overrated.
3-Very overrated.
4-One of the worst, most boring pretentious "indie" bands in existence.
5-Boring. Beyond boring.
6-This band is awful beyond all comprehension, they have no ability to make music.
7-How is System bad? How?
8-NIN has created two awfully amazing albums and they've never made a bad album, and you're a fucktard for thinking NIN is overrated, go die you son of a bitch.
9-Pantera is awesome.
10-WTF
So this list is pretty fail because NIN is on here. Once again, go die. |
FadeToBlack
08.23.09 | 'critics favourites' =/= overrated |
Boognish
08.23.09 | SOAD= a poor mans Mr. Bungle. They were ok, but nothing special at all. |
PayneTiger777
08.23.09 | Oh Boognish, how I hate you so....so much. |
Yazz_Flute
08.23.09 | The whole Opeth is overrated thing is getting really old now. More people seem to think they're overrated than love them on sputnik. |
ninjuice
08.23.09 | Why do people still care/comment about/on Boognish's lists when he feels the need to call every band with ANY sort of following on Sputnik "overrated" every two months?
and yes I realize the irony of what I just said. |
theacademy
08.23.09 | im just going to rank the bands in terms of their value instead of debating which are overrated:
Top Tier (awesome): 6 and 9
2nd Tier (above average): 1 and 7 and 8
3rd Tier (Average): 3 and 5
4th Tier (shit): 2, 4, 10 |
thebbqshrimp
08.23.09 | Agreed with all but #2. |
Lunarfall
08.23.09 | why isnt tool on here |
R6Rider
08.23.09 | well said ninjuice |
theacademy
08.23.09 | theyre pretty much the same band |
Boognish
08.23.09 | Fuck, Tool should definitely be on here. Even though i kinda like Lateralus, they're ridiculously overrated. |
Titan50

This proves you know nothing about music |
Romulus
08.23.09 | ^ this. and a bunch of other things but mainly that. |
theacademy
08.23.09 | DUDE u forgot ISIS |
Sowing
08.23.09 | blasphemy. 5-8 shouldn't be on this list. |
theacademy
08.23.09 | and 9^
Pantera is significantly better than Opeth |
theacademy
08.23.09 | not that thats really a worthwhile comparison.... |

I really can't see how any of that is true. |
Romulus
08.23.09 | That was really funny for some reason |

Reznor took the industrial underground and made it accessible with his first 2 albums, then from there reinvented himself with each proceeding album. Year Zero is very original in my opinion, same with Ghosts. I really don't think NIN is 'edgy' at all, in fact, I think they are popular because they took that edge out of underground industrial. Again, like I said before, the only reason people see them as 'overrated' is because they broke out into the mainstream. |
Douchebag
08.23.09 | Making over rated lists is over rated. I agree with some, but some other people love these bands, so whats the point of saying they suck? grow up. |
Douchebag
08.23.09 | "haha @ The Sex Pistols being on par with Opeth. That's funny man. You're funny."
Sex pistols never need to work again and only ever made one album. that's saying something. |
CompanionCube
08.23.09 | overrated =/= suck
overrated is just overrated |
kitsch
08.23.09 | no one really likes teh sex pistols |
Xosmas
08.23.09 | wilco on this list=false |
kitsch
08.23.09 | and the sex pistols had 2 albums. |
Inveigh
09.03.09 | Sex Pistols, Wilco, SOAD and NIN are all WILDLY overrated. While I don't personally think that Mastodon and Pantera are overrated, I can see where you're coming from.
Opeth and Thrice are really only overrated on Sputnik. They're both very fine bands. Neutral Milk Hotel is not really overrated in my mind (don't you technically have to be "rated" to be overrated?).
There's one band I'd really like to add to this list (even though I like them, people treat them like they invented music or something) but I know people on this site would shit their pants if I said it... ok, fine I'll say it..
CONVERGE. Let the trolling begin. |
Yotimi
09.03.09 | Wait Inveigh, a lot of people consider NMH's album the greatest of all time, so I'm not sure what you mean by they aren't rated. |
FadeToBlack
09.03.09 | hehe
good song too |
mvdu
09.03.09 | Completely disagree about Wilco. YHF remains one of the best albums of this decade. |
Boognish
09.03.09 | Wilco are so generic and bland. A critics band |
Inveigh
09.03.09 | Really? I've never heard anyone say that... but I haven't been on Sputnik for very long either.. Well, if that's the case then they are in fact overrated also. |
Yotimi
09.03.09 | Well, being a metalhead I can see where you're coming from. But if you're into indie at all, it's easily one of the best of all time. |
Masochist
09.03.09 | I don't get why #2 is on here. I could get all the rest (even though I like quite a few of them), but saying NMH is overrated is like saying Jeff Buckley is overrated.
Thrice is WAY overrated here on Sputnik (and I help, trust me), but WAY underrated in the real world. |
mvdu
09.03.09 | Not generic and bland, anything but in fact. |
mvdu
09.03.09 | Agree with #3, though. |
robertsona
09.03.09 | nine inch nails is so bad |
Inveigh
09.03.09 | I dig some indie, but not to any great extent. I've heard some NMH and I was diggin' it but I really only listened to them one time. I'll give them another shot and see what happens. |
robertsona
09.03.09 | also lol pitchfork hehe

09.03.09 | you take pitchfork seriously? |
robertsona
09.03.09 | not gonna lie i completely identify with that review so yea in that case |
JesusWasWrong
12.20.09 | I agree, but there's a reason they're so overrated, you know. |
Spec
04.24.10 | Just because you put Wilco on here, cancels out your whole list. It's true they get great reviews, but thats because they kick ass. I dont know anybody in my school that even knows who Wilco is. |
Klekticist
04.24.10 | well, sure. most of these are still pretty sweet though. |

04.24.10 | "Sex pistols never need to work again and only ever made one album. that's saying something."
lol i forgot how stupid alligator was |
Sowing
04.24.10 | hey i commented on this like a year ago...i will reaffirm my old statement by saying that 5-8 are in fact NOT overrated and i'll add 2 to that list |
