Most Overrated Bands/Artists?

[ROT]

gallows are so underrated. ha.

EDIT: (i decided to read the thread through) the xx aren't only famous because they toured with florence, please don't make statements without getting at least yr google on. they've had a massive underground following for the last 2 years, they only got "big" last year because their debut album was finally released, they had a catchy tv campaign (just a big x on the screen ha) and they got a lot of hype from nme/other music critics.
to say they're only famous because of forence is silly.

it's true though, their music is bland and lifeless..

I wouldn't have called you a hypocrite until you said that you're against drugs despite what the rock scene contains, because to then say the rap scene is bad because of THEIR crimes is hypocritical not having a go just pointing that out lol, you're allowed to not like a genre without any real reason of course but people shouldn't make comments about things they have no idea about like the post I quoted. It's basically like saying one footballer is the best in their team when you don't know any of the others, or some other such analogy

I quite agree with your last statement by the way, I think in ALL musical types there's far too much acting and facade which really isn't necessary for the music to sound good

I'm not a fan of rap anyway's although some old school rap is okay. If a rap song came out and I liked it, I would like it regardless of the person e.g. if they where a druggie and so on. I just think in the music scene both rock and rap, people sometimes at least appear to get away with more because they are famous.

I read Biffy Clyro chose to use that name because they found it weird and horrible and thought people would think the same. It was their way of saying, we don't sound cool as we don't want people listening just to be cool, we want people listening who like our music.

May I enquire as to your reasons for Adele?

she just is. people have all of a sudden clinged onto her and i'm not sure why, recently she just got too much hype and praise that she's not worth. didn't beyonce say that listening to adele's record was like "listening to god" or something? and i've heard similar comparisons before... the album really isn't that good.

and eminem is SO over rated. it's like he is the only rapper it is 'acceptable' to like amongst pretentious music fans that usually frown upon rap and pop music for some unknown reason, cos yeah he's good, but like adele he isn't that good. probably because he's white.
