I'm burned out of confrontational threads. I want a more entertaining kind of contact sport, so here goes.
Everything I know about music I learned from repeat viewings of High Fidelity and VH1 documentaries. My taste is pathetically simple; my ear just like what it likes and doesn't care how embarrassing it might otherwise be. The only redeeming musical quality I have is that I realize the uberwundergenius that is Radiohead of my own free will. I can't help it...I'm made for MOVIES, not music.
So, for all you people who LIVELIVELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE FOR MUSIC...
...Who DO YOU THINK are the most overrated and underrated musicians/bands?
This is an entirely subjective thread, so feel free to rant and rave about the awesomeness/awfulness of the people you talk about at length (except for Dave2112...yes, we KNOW Rush is the greatest band that have ever been born of cosmic sperm. NO we don't wanna hear about it for the 87,000th time, lol). MY ONLY PROVISO is that if you list at length, please divvy up the answers into Overrated/Underrated lists so people don't get confused.
Annnnnnnnd...this is where I get off. I don't know enough about music to contribute. Have at it folks.
