Nirvana, the Beatles, and every other band you worship is overrated

Great article. Enjoyed the satire and penmanship. And I agree with some but disagree with others...

U2
Disagree. Because I know why they did what they did with POP. Plus, Creed was NOTHING like U2 except maybe Scott Stapp's painful attempt at putting religion into his lyrics. Bono is NOT as fucked up as Stapp when it comes to religion, and as far as a comparison on lyricism...Bono makes Stapp look like a complete idiot.

Metallica
Disagree for the early years. Only when they started stumping against Napster did they sell-out.

Nirvana
Completely agree. Nirvana is and was WAY overrated. But something had to happen, the record companies had raped and pillaged rock music to the point of complete ridiculousness.


The Doors
Completely disagree. The Doors were and are amazing.

The Clash
Complete disagree. Love'em or hate 'em they had the balls to do what they wanted whether the public liked it or not.

Bob Dylan
Dylan's music is junk. I've always hated it. I wouldn't care if he "sang" (word used loosely when relating it to Dylan) about something else....his music is horrible.

The Beatles
I've always thought this band was overrated and still do...

The Beatles are definately overrated: no-one deserves that kind of messianic level of worship, no-one could live up to that irregardless of how good or great they were....

The fact remains...if someone becomes massive, somebody is gonna think they're overrated, most of the time simply and purely because they don't like them.

True 'dat.

The fact also remains that great bands have to be hated as well as loved: music is about gettinga reaction out of people, like all art, and the more you get reactions, the more variations of reactions you're going to get.
