Overrated bands/artists

Take zero because I don't need another PMS-y little girls acting preachy. If you don't like the thread, don't post, simple as that. This isn't a musical theory class in here.

Is requesting that you base your opinion off objective reasoning "preaching"? I also never said I disliked the thread. I would suggest you do take a musical theory class or two, however, as it may help you to overcome your misunderstanding.

And I suggest you go and have a fap and take out your frustration on someone else. Ignore listed.

Oh I have listened to every single Beatles and Rolling Stones album, I have tried SO hard to like them because I know they are those bands that just HAVE to be loved... but no, I don't feel anything when I listen to them. Sometimes I put on Hey Jude but that's all. LMAO. I can only listen to the Elton John version of Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Perhaps I should qualify here. It depends on how broad "one of the best" is meant. I would say he has been very influential, has obvious talent, and has written and played some great stuff. But many will say he's second to Hendrix and stuff like that and I haven't heard him play anything to convince me of that. In general the artists I listed I haven't heard loads of because I didn't particularly like most of what I heard at first, so I'm open to being shown some super mind-blowing Clapton stuff. But chill out; I'm not attacking Clapton's ability, I just don't tend to find his guitar playing or music in general enthralling.

2Pac and Biggie.

To be honest my opinion on them is not very informed; I haven't heard them in ages, they just came to mind. I hear a lot of people ripping on Muse and Coldplay to be honest but yeah they are overrated in general. The Rolling Stones however seem a bit boring for a band labelled one of the most important and best ever..

Slipknot are pretty overrated.

OK so people who don't understand why Taylor Swift is so successful, it's because they don't understand the historical context or music or is it just because they think she is **** and can't really understand how anyone can sit down and listen to that and buy them and obsess over it? I think the latter.

I don't care about the context or the intricate details of Pink Floyd, I have listened to them and I don't like listening to them. That's it.

don't get angry at me pumpkin was just saying.

No.

Yes. 2Pac wasn't that skilled as an MC and is rated higher than he should be because of his death/feud with Biggie. I was a massive Pac fan from 99 up until about 2006 as well. He has a couple notable albums, MATW being his best, but as I've grown older I find them pretty meh, and much of his music was filler.

Biggie was better than 2Pac as a spitter but only released one very good album, and one above average album. Compare to someone like Big L, died at the same age, made the same number of albums, but L is far superior and not as recognised. L had superior lyricism, was more fun to listen to, and his debut was better than Biggie's debut, which suffered because of pointless interludes and filler. L had a much better flow and picked much better music. Biggie had more charisma but L was a straight up rapper. Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous pisses over anything Biggie ever did. I think there are only two or three tracks I really rate on RTD and one is Machine Gun Funk, another is Gimme The Loot. L has so many bangers that weren't on Lifestylez as well.

The feud between Pac and Biggie has immortalised them, no way are they the best rappers of all time.

who would you say is?

Depends, there are loads who are arguably up there. Ghostface Killah, Andre 3000, Rakim, Ice Cube... all have great bodies of work, they are all original and they are all very skilled. Maybe Chuck D too. I'm forgetting a few but you get the point. For me personally it's Andre, he needs to get a solo album out though.

Nas is up there as well, but is let down a little by his discography imo.
