no argument from me on those, 'cept I'd narrow the over-rated Stones to post-Let-It-Bleed...

they were awesome up until that point...

Any group doing disco should have been taken outside and shot. That includes the BeeGees, ABBA, Villiage People, and all the rest of them. THANK GOD that it is gone!

 

[boedicca]

Mariah Carey, Celine Deon, J-Lo, The Bieb, Madonna, Kate Perry...pretty much anyone who is more of a poser/dancer/celebrity instead of a real musician who writes music and plays an instrument.

 

[Billo_Really]

Boston
Bad Company
Rush
REO Speedwagon
Primus
Judas Preist
Queen

Huh?

Those bands were zeroed in to pop culture at the time. Just because it's pop culture, doesn't make it bad. I can never get this need for people to down music for not being "serious" or what ever. I like it all from the Kingston Trio to John Lee Hooker to Jennifer Holiday to Patsy Cline. And that includes the BeeGees and Abba and even BUM BUM BUM Y. M. C. A.!

Don't Mariah Carey, Madonna and Kate Perry write most of their own songs?

 

[Unkotare]

The Beatles, of course.

 

[rdean]

Boston
Bad Company
Rush
REO Speedwagon
Primus
Judas Preist
Queen

Queen? Judas? REO? Oh God, tell me it's not so.

Pure Magic!​

 

[rdean]

The Beatles, of course.

Over Rated?

Oh God. This must be the Rapture. What else could explain it?

 

[bayoubill]

can't believe nobody's mentioned Bruce Springsteen yet...

or the Moody Blues...

 

[Vandalshandle]

Sorry guys, but the world's most overrated piece of musical shit has simply got to be that South Korean Guy. There simply is no contest.

 

[Billo_Really]

can't believe nobody's mentioned Bruce Springsteen yet...

or the Moody Blues...

I saw Springsteen 5 times and the Moody Blues twice and they both kicked major ass in concert.

In fact, the Boss's River tour in 1980 at the LA Sports Arena was the best concert I ever saw in my life.

 

[Noomi]

Justin Bieber
The Beatles

How the hell could someone say Abbba. Abba are awesome, thank you very much!

 

[jillian]

can't believe nobody's mentioned Bruce Springsteen yet...

or the Moody Blues...

you mention bruce and the moody blues in the same breath?

that's funny.

i think the moody blues had about 3 songs. lol.

and only people who've never seen bruce live say he's overrated.

*shrug*

 

[sitarro]

Bruce for sure, Beyonce, Jay Z, Snoop Dog, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Stevie Nicks( Christine McVie was always better), Hendrix, Rush, Madonna, Gaga, Carlos Santana, KISS, Nirvana, All Metal and Rap in general.

 

[PredFan]

The Beatles

Absolutely. They define over-rated.

 

[PredFan]

Boston
Bad Company
Rush
REO Speedwagon
Primus
Judas Preist
Queen

Boston and Rush were over-rated, but the others (except Queen)weren't really rated that high to begin with.

I liked Queen but I admit that they aren't as good as some people claim.
