Re: Overrated bands/musicians

I nominate Metallica as overrated.. Basically a pop band who get held up as some sort of heavy rock demi-gods.

Yikes. They are outstanding, even if they are not my favorite type of music. They did some great stuff with odd timings (blackened), ultra heavy grooves (fade to black), cool overlays and mixtures (Justice for all), and some wicked awesome crunch solos. I am a huge satriani, vai, eddie, malmsteen, lynch fan. But, I think probably the greatest solo ever is on justice for all. The tone is just perfect and the sound awesomely raw.
To overrated, there is no one more overrated than Petty. Mediocre lyrics with mediocre music.
