Goddamn..I'm sick of Def Leppard recieving a lot of praise in stuff like Rolling stone and such over Classic Van HALEN. Def Lep is a decent band, Up until like 1988, They were a good Pop Metal Band, And Rick Allen is a phenomal drummer, one of the best in the Biz, But honestly, they're overrated, and CVH had a bigger impact on the scene moreso than "Photograph".
Still waiting for a relevant Browns Team
Moronica, Greed, and Straind, for starters.....
Van Hagar.
I have to disagree with the Def Leppard comment. I can't think of a band that deserves more credit for sticking it out with all of the tragedies and continuning to make music than them.
Other bands have a member die and they hang it up. Others just have them quit and carry on. Then some are just not cut out for any type of longevity.
I've always liked earlier Def Leppard and feel like they hit a creative wall, but I'd have to say PLEASE give their VH1 Storytellers, YEAH! and Slang another objective listen. i'm not saying that you have to love them, but daggone that's pretty good straight ahead rock music that didn't get airplay.

Knicleback or however you spell it, i think they have a great something
but it seems to need to, cook longer .
Tweeked by someone it has potential, i just don't like it, don't know why .
I hate to be so hard on them evidently the sell records but they seem
sleepy.
Please don't get me started on the Romantics cover band -Green Day -
who couldn't stroke the dogs dick of any member of the Romantics.
HACKS!
You guys are taking the easy route by naming the obvious, but i'm gonna set this board on fire. But first i wanna say that i'm a really nice guy and this is only my opinion, so please don't call me a cocktard or all those crazy names that you guys come up with on this site. Okay.. ready..... THE BEATLES. Without Sir George Martin, the Beatles would have been an above average band. The time they came to America also played a role. Most of those kids at the airport when they arrived in America where paid by the record label and management to cause a big fuss. if the Beatles would have come out today, they would be just a different sounding band like the White Stripes. Twist and Shout is hailed as a great song, while Shout It Out Loud by KISS is called a Cheezy song. they are both very similar to me. I could give you a lot of comparisons like that. They were the first management/label created bands. now it has evolved to crap like the Back Street Boys and Brittany Spears. Now the Beatles had way more talent than those artist. With a lot of help from the 60/70's drug years, Martin and that Abby Road studio, which was way ahead of the times, they were the perfect storm. Now I'm not saying they suck, I'm just saying they are overrated! I know I'm gonna get death threats by people who roll there eyes when The National Anthem comes on, but when Imagine comes on, they break down and cry. You know who you are!!! One last thing... The Beatles were already a bunch of long haired drug addicts before they came to America. They were told to present themselves as an clean cut Bristish band, so they cleaned up there appearance. then once America accepted them, they went back to there roots. America didn't change them, they changed America. FOR THE WORST!!!!!!!!!
There's only one answer for this, and I'm sure that even Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will agree with me...Originally posted by GO-SPURS-GO

Plus you have cuntface Bono....Nice name asswipe....spewing his crappy self serving political bullshit all over the place. Hey Bono...if I want some musician to teach me something, I'll get Lita Ford to sit on my face (this is what I said in 1985...)
Honestly, I never thought Rick Allen was any great shakes as a drummer even before he lost his arm. Didn't suck, didn't overplay and wasn't fill-happy - he did what the songs required.Originally posted by Unchainme

But Pyromania was a pretty huge album and 1983 was a big year for them. Perhaps in part because Van Halen didn't have a record out that year and only did a couple months of dates in South America and the US Festival far as concerts went...plus Quiet Riot really didn't break out huge with Metal Health until the late summer of 1983 and were then followed by Motley Crue, Ratt and all the rest...the luck of good timing along with good songs...Lep kinda beat all those other pop metal bands to the punch by a year or so.
By the time Hysteria came out four odd years later a whole shitload of pop metal bands had already came onto the scene, but Hysteria sold well in spite of having to compete with Slippery When Wet, Appetite For Destruction and Whitesnake 1987, which were the other big sellers of that year...the longview for me is that Hysteria didn't have nearly as many decent songs on it as Pyromania...about the only Lep albums I even listen to anymore are High N Dry and Pyromania. Band really hasn't put anything out since Hysteria that I would consider essential.
But Pyromania and Hysteria are both diamond status in terms of sales, I think, and I suppose having two of those makes the band worthy of some mention. More so than, say, Hootie and the Blowfish or Alanis Morrisette who each had one monster selling album and weren't able to follow it up.
Scramby eggs and bacon.

Although WAR is a great album, as is the Joshua Tree and parts of Achtung Baby. The rest I can take or leave.

They made even Me want to listen to death metal.

Carlos Santana is another overated band.
I'll agree that The Beatles are overrated, no-one deserves that kind of God like worship....
Also:
The Eagles, U2, Nirvana, The Clash
Great bands, but not as great and musically revolutionary as some would have it
And a whole crop of bands that seems to me to have very little cause for acclaim but receive lots of it anyway:
Coldplay
Bon Jovi
The Killers
The Strokes
Green Day
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
well said! The Killers and The Strokes totally blow. they sound like amateurs.Originally posted by binnie

They just sound like a lot of early 80s bands to me, and there's no crime in that: but it means that they shouldn't be hailed as some revolutionary musical messiahs by the critics...
U2 and The Beatles.
Just BAD pop... not that there's any good pop.
Bono is a cunt and Lennon was a cunt.
They both got more fame from stuff they did outside the music scene.
Cheers! :bottle:
Although I've never been a Beatles fan, I wouldn't deny their influence. If so many people got into the business because they wanted to be a Beatle, then they must have been good at what they did.
But, if we're goung down that route, I would say Led Zep. Never understood why they are considered to be the GRATEst rock & roll band of all time.
U2...YES.
Bon Jovi...I cun't stand the guy, and his music sucks too. But I really hate HIM.
All the flavours of the month.
KISS...always come across as a band who concentrated on image more than music.
GUNS AND ROSES...made one GRATE album and are considered one of the GRATEst rock and roll bands ever? Bollocks.

When I read this thread title U2 was the first band I thought of.
I never heard any of their songs that made me think they were anything special.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Sitting on a park bench!
Also Radiohead get a lot of praise for doing stuff King Crimson did a lot better years ago.
Yea, I completely agree with U2. While I really enoyed early U2, anything after Actung Baby really sounds thrown together and is nothing more than efforts to keep the cash coming in..
Coldplay is another. While Chris Martin can put together a catchy melody, the band is mediocre at best.
As far as lately, there are so many bands that are hyped by the music business that just don't deserve the recognition they are getting. Bands like Nickelback, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Jet, Artic Monkeys and I could go on and on are average bands at best.
I could go on forever but will shut up..
Cheers,

I think the Strokes have several strong tracks.

You know...JET are EGGcellent live. Better than some of the "better" bands I've seen.
I wondered who'd be first to mention the Artic Monkeys, and I've got to agree. They've created a lot of hype, but they are average at best. If you want to hear how that sort of music should be done..... listen to The Jam.Originally posted by The_KiD
