03.31.11 | i don't know def leppard to say either way, but only u2 do i really see merit in here. weezer's new stuff is universally disliked and their old stuff was evaluated for what it was -- solid alt rock. ac/dc is powerful and energizing, while nirvana was visionary blend of sounds which essentially bridged the (perhaps unfortunate but nonetheless crucial) gap between classic rock and emo |

03.31.11 | tl;dr |
Spgale
03.31.11 | definetly don't agree with nirvana or ac/dc. I do agree with U2 and weezer |

xenocide.
03.31.11 | EVERY band is overrated by SOME people who praise their music much over the average level. |
Sciroccu
03.31.11 | don't know why u are thinking of nirvana as overated, all their albums are great, Muse should be in your list... |
SCREAMorphine
03.31.11 | I sort of agree with U2 but I haven't heard enough of their stuff to form an opinion, I guess you could call AC/DC overrated but they still rock either way, I agree with Sciroccu about Nirvana |
MO
03.31.11 | AC/DC is very overrated. They basically just jumped on the rock bandwagon at the right time and wrote some catchy riffs. Boring.
THUNDAH! |

03.31.11 | I LOVE (x) that sucks and (x) is over rated lists.
Let the griefing begin... or the list die. Its always fun to find out which will happen. =^) |

03.31.11 | You all like Nirvana for what it was, I heard about them growing up. They were labeled as great rock/alt. I come to expect something from such consistently high accolades. Its bad to go into a band, expecting someone to be great, but it's inevitable in some cases. When I plugged in Nirvana I felt NOTHING. Mediocre at best, and so I'm wondering whats the fuss. Its cause he died honestly. The amount of hype would have been minimal if this wasn't the case. For some reason a band's greatness is cemented if they die. |
omnipanzer
03.31.11 | That sir is your opinion, unless you think it is fact in which case you are wrong.
When Nevermind came out Nirvana knocked "New Kids on the Block" out of the #1 spot. They will always be my heroes for that alone. His suicide was sad to me... nothing more. It has no bearing on the music for me. |
Remer17
03.31.11 | Anyone can find a successful artist that they personally do not like and deem them "overrated." |
Mewcopa0
03.31.11 | @Remer117, true, but these bands suck. AC/DC is an abomination |
Remer17
03.31.11 | Oh stop being so dramatic. |
Emim
03.31.11 | Nirvana gets so much praise because Cobain died young. |
CrownOfMagnets
03.31.11 | I don't care what bands you think are overrated, dude. Stop making lists like this. They're all the same. AHHHH. |
WashboardSuds
03.31.11 | overrated bands are an illusion.
I somewhat agree about bands getting overplayed on radio which spoils the song but I don't listen to the radio enough anyway |

03.31.11 | iuno -- bands frequently are not up to the hype they receive (and thereby are overrated), but it's entirely subjective. Sputnik users get very angry when your opinion differs from theirs, especially when yours is the established norm, so "I have yet to see one of these end well for the listmaker" is very much in effect |

03.31.11 | Your ball cred just got -100 for 1. |

03.31.11 | I would rate two Tool albums 6.0 if I could. So probably i overrate them, but who cares? |
pmmets07
03.31.11 | fuck all of these bands. even though seeing def leppard for my 13th birthday was sweet |

which ones? Aenima/Lateralus? |
Mike08
03.31.11 | aneima is a 4/5 for me and im being a little generous cause there is alot of filler. Still some kick ass songs. BTW I wrote a well broken up short essay up top w/ quotations so it was pretty easy to read. Now its smashed together with ? everywhere. So does anyone know how to fix this? |
omnipanzer
03.31.11 | can't fix it. Have to get it right the first time and not edit it. |

03.31.11 | @ aokuneff: yep |

03.31.11 | i don't even like metal and those are 4.5s for me |

03.31.11 | they say Tool isn't metal, so that's OK |

03.31.11 | Some ass-hole deleted my ratings because I made a list like this and said Bon Jovi sucks |

03.31.11 | i just saw a tool cover band called schism. and it was still better than some of the shows i've seen recently. can't they just give me something new and go on tour already??? |
