Explain this overrated.

 

They were extremely talented musicians.  Innovative.  Influenced many who came after.  And were extremely popular in their day.  Explain the overrated.

 

Personally, they weren't my cup of tea.  But I don't get overrated.

Liger considers any band that didn't use autotune to be overrated.

Steve Miller Band is unobjectionable milquetoast. 

 

Liking something requires an affirmative, intentional thought on the part of a sentient being.

 

Being unperturbed by the presence of SMB music is not tantamount to liking it.

 

I don't like SMB music.

Swingtown is a solid tune.  I like that one.  The rest is forgettable.

You want overrated?  Steve Miller Band.  You had to be stoned to enjoy it.

 

Bingo.

 

Know who I'll add to that category? Jimmy Buffett.

 

My beloved college roommate loved the guy - played his music incessantly. I know the lyrics to dozens of his songs as a result. 

 

Other than it being over-played in our dorm rooms and apartments, I had no problem with the music. It was - just, there. Unobjectionable.

 

I later came to conclude that the whole party scene that surrounds the man and his music was key to understanding his popularity.

Underrated.  Dire Straights.  You can't prove otherwise.

Troof.  Add DMB to that list as well.

And for however indisputably excellent a band or artist is -- I might offer up classic James Brown (I mean - c'mon) as an example of a band/artist that everyone likes. But I am sure there are people who really don't care for that sound, style.

 

Music is really funny that way.

 

There's a band I love. I mean, love. I had a couple of friends with what I consider to be excellent taste in music. Neither of them care, at all, for this band that I love.

 

There's no explaining it. No point in trying, really. They just don't dig it. And I do.

Dave Matthews. His music is what I imagine it sounds like when Satan passes wind.

 

Question of the day...

 

Why are you imagining what Satan sounds like when he farts?

Pink Floyd is overrated because all the people who grew up listening to Pink Floyd completely missed what Roger Waters was saying and are now running our country (and Britain) into the sh*tter. Being perceived as influential when you actually aren't is peak overrated.

There's no place for couth or rationality in a discussion about music, man. The music I love is awesome. The music you like sucks, unless it happens to be music that I also like. It's my right, neigh, my duty to ridicule your choices that I disagree on. Rinse and repeat.

What kind of teambuilder is JBOT, though? How much do you really have to do once you have Crosby and Malkin?

 

I mean, the guy hung onto Bylsma for yyeeeeaaaaarrrs. He's pretty overrated in the hockey community. Anybody the NHL actually advises you to hire is pretty assuredly a bad hire.

Influential to other bands.  They did things with their composition that influenced many afterward.

 

You can't blame their fans for what they are doing today.  Those meatheads are still having flashbacks.  :P

DMB - fine

DMB fans - THE WORST

 

 

Also, despite being a wanna-be metal head in highschool, I've discovered that I hate almost all metal.

 

This is why you have no friends.

I appreciate Floyd musically. I like them. I just think they're overrated.
