Most overrated band of all time

[TOGIE]

You know, I hate to break it to you Gen X-ers, but pretty much everything from the 80's, that wasn't country, was trash and since some of you like it, I'm going to call it overrated.

Peak 80s

Yes I know it was all kind of an unserious goof, but still…

For me. It has to be the Beatles. I understand the historical significance but the music is not great.
Honorable mention: Rolling Stones

Nah, just proves to me that none of yall actually listen to country.

I could name 5 legitimately quality country bands real quick that have been in active in the last 15 years.

Listen to all kinds of it. I was referring ti mainstream country radio in my original post.

...too soon?

 

[hank4elk]

...again, too many....But I'll jump in.
Most any Metal/Hair band. Most likely the reason for excessive drinking by me...FM radio on job sites and the reason for NO Dogs or Radios sign on my jobs.
90% of country today...pop.


Has there been a good band in the last 25 years?

 

[beaglegun]

The Doors
Beatles

 

[Rogerdoger]

Led Zeppelin
Phish
Most modern country can be lumped together.

It’s been that way forever too. There isn’t much shortage of good country available right now IMO.

That said, I do find Chris Stapleton a bit overrated

Have you seen him live? Chubby, ragged beard, and sounds better in person. To each their own though. My wife and I saw Stephen Wilson Jr. love this year, and will again this summer. He is freaking awesome. His style is even more outlaw rock country in person.

A lot of music in the 80’s was created for the video on MTV, which degraded the pool. But the 80’s had some really good music too.

I don’t listen to country so can’t opine. It mostly all sounds the same to me. But enjoy your hard candy Christmas.

Overrated doesn't mean bad. I think he's great. Absolutely phenomenal vocalist.

I honestly didn't know about him until he blew up. Some great songs that became really old really quick to me. He's got a very repetitive lyrical and musical style I feel like. I dunno, just my IMO. Maybe it's just that most of his stuff is cut for the radio now

Now, when I came upon those songs from The Steeldrivers when he was in it, that sure felt like some much more interesting and dynamic music to me.

Any new country.
"I love my girls (twang twang twang)
I love my horse (twang twang twang)
I love my truck(twang twang twang)"
Repeat until boredom coma sets in.

That's much more entertaining than what they call country.

Totally about the look, almost all of it

Springsteen
U2
Oasis
Bob Dylan

Who remembers "simulcasting"?
Listening to the music on FM and watching the video on TV. It wasn't my kind of music but Michael Jackson put on a pretty cool video.

You guys are coming up with new ways to argue almost daily lets all just grow up........ especially the guy who said Tom Petty. F#@$ you guy that shit was just intentionally inflammatory.

 

[Treeshark]

Oasis

I can’t believe it took 8 pages for Oasis to pop up (unless I missed it). Definately.
