Over/Under Top 7
Saturday December 2nd 2006

Ok, I'm going out on a limb to create some controversy with yet another top 10 7 list. This on; the most Overrated and the most Underrated Bands of all time. But, I want you all to add your own to this list -- as with any list, its all about personal taste, and of music I listen to and know. So, here we go (and in no particular order).
- Top 7 Overrated Bands
- 1. Oasis -- to me, Oasis was never the hype they got; they were predictable (good song craft, but the lyrics were horrible, the music par for the course at the time they were at their height).
- 2. The Doors -- aside from about 3 songs, most of what the Doors did was pseudo-intellectual Jim Morrison drug-induced droning.
- 3. No Doubt -- this i just personal. I hate No Doubt. Through and through.
- 4. Sufjan Stevens -- I know, I'm going to hell for that one. I don't think he's the most talented, earth shattering, mind blowing, god of all things music, but don't mistake volume for brilliance. He's got talent, but I don't think he's "all that".
- 5. The Who -- what!? Yup, I said it. Why? Rock operas, that's why
- 6. Coldplay -- I love Coldplay; love them. But they are no U2, and never will be. They are talented song writers, but they are not innovators, merely taking song styles of others and making it popular.
- 7. 92% of bands Pitchfork loves -- Pitchfork is all about obscurity; if you can sound atonal, bizarre, structureless, meandering, and most importantly, not be popular; when 92% of the bands they love are pretty terrible.
