Most overrated band?

[mirvana]

Jack,

Pink Floyd is soo overrated, there music isnt even "trippy" nor is it the best "chill out" music imo. If you think pink floyd is a good definition of psychedelic rock, you would be sadly mistaken if you listened to some real phych rock or post-rock. Sorry but idk where your from, the "hippys" at my school hype up floyd like crazy so i dont really know where you live that people overlook them. I wish i lived there. (im not tryin to start a thread war so dont take it like that)

i suppose it could be a matter of opinion, but you definitely need to LISTEN to pink floyd. "money" and "wish you were here" are not trippy, and i am assuming that that is the kind of pink floyd you have listened to. listen to some interstellar overdrive. listen to the piper at the gates of dawn. listen to that shit when you're stoned and you tell me that pink floyd isn't trippy.
watch pink floyd live at pompeii too.

the thing is, pink floyd isn't even one of my favorite bands, i'm not saying this to defend pink floyd, i'm telling you to get your facts straight. give their good music a fricking chance before you tell me that they're overrated.

[Oh F Yeah]

cuz calling me stupid is soo logical, it can not only BE proven, but it has, by someone whos never met me beore.
Sonicbloom, your music is soooo boring and monotonis, atleast your clever pirate song is. Your lyrics are soooooooo much better than nirvanas, i mean, how could someones lyrics that accualy make you think to understand and relate to them be better than someone whos lyrics are so blatantly obvious that a 4 year old could understand them. I mean, if your making music in the first place wouldnt you want it to be for the people who appreciate music and not any douche who has a computer?? ide rather listen to pink floyd then visit your myspace ever again.
and uhh btw Nirvanas on your influences, idk if you were aware of that

Well......I got this far ^ before I felt compelled to comment on Metaphor's mindless dribble. I'm sure this is probably before your time and most likely WAY over your head, but if you are really searching for music (and lyrics) that "actually makes you think to understand and relate to" and is not "blantly obvious that a 4 year old could understand them", then I would respectfully recommend you reconsider your comments regarding Pink Floyd. The below is taken from a site that provides backround/history/information/thoughts regarding Pink Floyds' "Animals" albumn/cd. And if you haven't smoked a fatty....closed your eyes....and NOT found Animals "trippy" enough for you, then sir.......you don't know what "trippy" is and in fact....have probably never actually tripped. Good day.

"Pink Floyd is most recognized for their biggest commercial successes, 1973â??s Dark Side of the Moon and 1979â??s The Wall. Though between these, two other albums were released. The first was 1975â??s Wish You Were Here, a laid back album dedicated to former bandleader Syd Barrett (who's mental deterioration from by excessive LSD use in the 60â??s was responsible for his inability to perform). But lost somewhere in their long list of landmark albums is 1977â??s "Animals" which has been called "the forgotten album". Like many Floyd albums, Animals contains a theme thatâ??s clear in concept and vast in execution. It was their response to Englandâ??s huge anti-progressive rock punk phenomenon lead by Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols. This was the first album where the power started shifting toward bassist and lyricist Roger Waters which would ultimately lead to Waterâ??s departure in 1983. While making the album Waters even said, "the idea of power I find rather appealing in a strange way."

Waters was partly inspired by George Orwellâ??s political fable Animal Farm in which people are divided up into groups represented by animals. While Orwell was focusing on Communism, Roger was criticizing his own Capitalist government. In Floydâ??s version the people are either Dogs, Pigs, or Sheep. The pigs are tyrannical, self-righteous hypocrites forcing their beliefs on the dogs and sheep; the dogs are greedy money-grubbing cutthroats; and the sheep are the mindless followers who are used and abused by the others. The albumâ??s cover-art depicts a large pig floating over the popular London historical landmark the Battersea Power Station. The station, which is considered a decaying symbol of modern age, was on itâ??s 50th anniversary when the album was released. Instead of saving money by using trick photography they constructed a giant 40-foot inflatable pig and floated it over the huge power plant".

giant pigs are trippy, see?

[Oh F Yeah]

^ Shallow......very shallow. If that's all you got out of the post....then ...well.....nevermind.

******shakes his head in amazement*****

Then chuckles.

you and mirvana,

i want both of you to know that ive heard piper at the gates of dawn, "interstellar overdrive", meddle, animals, saucerful of secrets and yeah. i listened to them, with my eyes closed, (gasp) and i find them mildly vaguely trippy, if that.

i dont consider that tippy at all lol. if you wanna hear real trippy music. why dont you get out of the 70's. theres only a few bands of that era that i have respect for, mainly only "Can". Do you not think can is trippier than floyd??? perhaps you should go download Tango Mango by them. not trippy enough for you?

maybe you should step foward in time to the 1992 and get a copy if Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, that is some true psychedelic music. Or maybe you should get some Explosions in the Sky, its similar to your precious floyd, witout words its 100x trippier.

Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Boards of canada, Heavy Vegetable, Velvet Acid Christ. i could ramble for days. on only the truest psychedelic bands. so please, dont tell me i dont know what psychedelic rock is. Your Brainwashed. I bet you hate all the popular music nowadays right? well wtf do you think classic rock was, it was fukin pop music of the 70's. The fans flocked to woodstock just like they flock to warped tour. so why is classic rock soo good? Ooh yeah, its old. that must be it.

on a side note, ive tripped on quite a few substances quite a few times. more than enough times. and i will again.

[Arklenao2]

acdc, and whenever it happened, the baja men

[higher4hockey]

you think AC/DC is overrated? wow man, that surprises me.


question~ are you old enough to drink? and if you are , have you never heard 'if you want blood' at the bar around 1:30 when everyone is good and wasted?

[halfassedjediknight]

ive sported a giant acdc sticker on the rear windshield of my car since high school.

it will never be removed.

fuckin thunderstruck!

T-N-T DI-NO-MITE

[Oh F Yeah]

It's all good! Not stuck in the 70's.......just started there. Have traveled many roads and seen many things. I love all music and believe it or not, enjoy much (okay...some) of what my 15yo and 26yo daughter enjoys. Much of it will not stand the test of time, but it's all good because much of what I enjoyed "back in the day" didn't either (***gasp***Ted Nugent, Robin Trower, Styx, 38 Special, etc.). I consider myself well-rounded with some of my favorite current rock being Audioslave, Seether, 3 Doors Down, Evansblue, etc. It may be kind of "popish" for your tastes, but hey...I don't trip much anymore. lol All I was trying to convey, I guess, was ease up a bit on your bashing. I may not have the same respect for what....Velvet Acid Christ?.....but I DO respect your right to love them.

And to answer the question originally posted......I think LIVE has to be my pick for overrated. Yeah, I know they are not THAT big, but I swear....they would come out with a decent song that would get some air play and sound pretty good. I would go out and buy the cd just to find that was the ONLY song that was worth a shit. They caught me like that twice that I can remember. NEVER AGAIN! My disdain for LIVE is equaled only by my loathing for the acting of Lou Diamond Phillips!

lmao

Peace and love. Peace and love!
