The Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Van Hagar, Jimi Hendrix, and Queen come to my mind right off the start, and of all bands of all time.......



THE ROLLING STONES!!!!!

They suck and everyone loves them! Uhg!!!!! Like, gag me with a spoon.  :lol: They came to Idaho recently and the tickets were $300 A PEICE and it sold out. Not suprising, so get this, they sold out 54 mintues after they went on sale. Some people are nuts!

Now don't get me wrong, I like Hendrix, The Doors, Floyd, and The Beatles. But their stuff isn't as good as other people's whose stuff is way better.

(I'm talking about classic rock like bands who people call legends. All new crap is overrated, there are hardly any, if any, songs that have talent in them nowadays)

I dont agree with the last part, i think all new songs have talent in them, you have to have talent to wite a song. the only way a song can't have talent is if its a cover song or if its just completely stupid and makes no sense.

I disagree with all of it to be perfectly honest, the reason why people pay $300 is because they are an excellent band, one of the best of all time, not because "some people are nuts!" You said it yourself, the tickets sold out in 54 mins, the Millions of people who went to that gig and every other Rolling Stones gig around the world can't be wrong.

The Kooks are seriously over rated, at first they where ok and i liked a few of there songs.
But for those of you who live in the UK you will know that there songs where played every 5 [bad word deleted]ing minutes of the day on the radio and on music channels!

The fact that they where overplayed so much and so overrated got the songs stuck in your heads and made them incredibly annoying.

I said the "Some people are nuts!" part, becuase I was mainly aiming at my budget. There is no way I could pay that for a concert, even if it was one I wanted to see. Oh yeah, and it was my opinion.

Did I dispute that it was your opinion? but I was putting forward my case as to why they aren't overrated, I wasn't going "You are wrong, you must believe what I am saying." I'm sorry if you feel offended by what I posted.

I am not disputing their talent and creativity, or their contribution to the music industry, but I don't think they belong on the pedestal they have been placed upon. Some of their music was incredibly stupid, and was only popular and well-received because they had recorded it. Having said that, I find "Abbey Road" to be one of the greatest albums of all time.

Also overrated are The Doors. More than half of their legend was due to Jim Morrison's substance abuse and outrageous antics.

[glow=red,2,300]THE TOPIC THAT REFUSES TO DIE!!!  [/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]Thank you ALEX for posting the most Popular Topic ever!! [/glow]

First Off

WHOA!!  [-X  WHOA!!  [-X  WHOA!!  [-X  WHOA!!  [-X

THE DOORS OVERRATED!!!  :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Can someone please give the DOG,
A Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick for me!!
Image

[glow=red,2,300]THANK YOU!!!!![/glow]

No disrespect to you,I love you like a brother
but what Gas Fumes have you been inhaling
The Doors are not overrated besides,You seem to be basing the group on a Substance Problem and not on the music
Jim Morrison's substance
abuse and outrageous antics,seem to have work,
since that is all you are judging the man by,and
everyone has a skeleton in their closet,and yet on the flip-side of that same coin,
my friend you forget the drug problems,of our favorite Mop-Tops,
Can anyone say "Revolver"
not to mention their wild antics as well,
If you are going to place judgement on anyone,make sure you look at the facts,because not everyone is Perfect,
and The Beatles and The Doors,have more quality music than you think,but that is all depends of who is listening,just like you are reading  this and listen to me speak,
But like I said,everyone is entitled to their opinion,and I am just saying my piece
Image
[glow=red,2,300]WAKE UP!!!!![/glow]

Oh wait,I'm not leaving until I give Morrissey a piece of my mind...
Image
Yo Strutting Rooster,It seems like you been acting and thinking more like a C___ and at the same time ruffled a few feathers with me,
I am amazed sometimes,Someone like myself,withdraws for a
long period of time,and suddenly someone like you decides to grow some BALLz!!!
And as soon as I reappear,you are just exactly like a Rooster,
and you disappear,like Lita Ford,back into your cave.
Image
Brother,if anyone needs a Goverment health warning ,it's you,
because you speak without thinking,and at the same,you put your foot
in your mouth,with your stinky smelling comments..
I think everyone knows How much I love U2
and they have done more in a lifetime than you will ever do
in the few minutes you just made an "Fill in the Blank" of yourself
Your homework tonight Young man,is to simply listen to The Music!!!!! Before you Judge!

Excuse me but the Rolling Stones suck, Name a band that's done more than they have? People love them because they play good rock and roll music. Sure there tickets are high, So are everything else in life. They have been around long enough and proved themselves to be the greatest rock and roll band of all time.You also mentioned those other bands saying " Their stuff isn't that good". Give me a break!! That's right they are legends.Your to young to know what good music is.

Oh shut it. IT'S MY OPINION! They suck to me! I don't care how much money they've made,  and how long they've been around, that doesn't effect their sound. Everyone jumps all over opinions. Don't tell me I'm too young to know, I know a lot more about music than most of my generation.

Um? No. I didn't say their stuff wasn't that good. I love their stuff, but I LIKE OTHER STUFF MORE. I love the Doors, I love Hendrix, I love The Beatles, and I like Floyd.

I can't sit and listen to The Stones, their music makes me cringe. Mic Jager is probably the most annoying singer out there, second only to some newer bands I've heard. And their songs drag.

I'm sure we could find a lot more negative stuff to say about each others music, and I rarely agree with anybody on the subject of my music, because my interests are rare. I'm not saying ths because you like it, and you pissed me off, it's my opinion and I'd say it anyday.

Hey coney! You're never too young to know what good music is! Are you stupid? What, when I turn 18 I'll magically know what good music is? My father is in a band, he introduced me to all the classics- Eagles, Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, etc.- and "I'm too young to know good music"? What you said was very stupid, man.

As for the topic, I think that Lynyrd Skynyrd is very overrated. I can't stand their music at all. I prefer ZZ Top anyday!

Stop being so hostile about your opinion because I'm not about to start arguing about this.

Your absolutely right. This is not the place to argue about things like that.
