P.S. Be prepared for the flame war. |
Papa Universe
06.01.17 | Cannibal Corpse is like everyone's first idea of what Death Metal is like. |
Rik VII
06.01.17 | "Blackwater Park isn't the genius album it is called"
yes it is
agree with most of the others, so good job |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.17 | I agree with 1, I actually like them less than I used to. That opinion drives everyone I know crazy. |
Maco097
06.01.17 | The only overrated bands there are only Nirvana and Cannibal Corpse. |
heck
06.01.17 | thanks for these original and exciting opinions! |
smaugman
06.01.17 | disagree with 9, and i dont see how anthrax are overrated |
JeetJeet
06.01.17 | 6 is spot on. 10 is just a garbage band period tho |
onionbubs
06.01.17 | 1 and 8 are two of my favorite bands but they're common targets for the "overrated tag". as is the rest of the list so there are no real surprises here |
MO
06.01.17 | wrong about 1 and 2 so hard |
cosmopazz
06.01.17 | "so many bands took what they had done and made it so much better"
well holy shit |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.17 | Surprised Tool isn't here, even though they're one of my favorite bands of all time they are usually on lists like these |
Snake.
06.01.17 | is your sole purpose on this site to run off of music website cliches |
Azertherion
06.01.17 | This list is very xD
Black Sabbath man, such an overrated band |
Madbutcher3
06.01.17 | you have a deconstruction at a 4.5 so i dunnnooo man |
smfk9
06.01.17 | Nirvana is overrated, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, STP, and Foo Fighters are all better |
ArtBox
06.02.17 | I agree with 1. I mean, 4000 votes on Abbey Road? Way too over-rated, you could get the same score with 2000, smh |
Satellite
06.02.17 | bad opinions ahoy |

Welcome to the world of opinions. |
Rik VII
06.02.17 | Well Deconstruction is a very good example of an underrated album. |
theacademy
06.02.17 | the beatles arent overrated they just objectively suck |
theacademy
06.02.17 | also pantera is somehow underrated |
theacademy
06.02.17 | just noticed slayer is on here. enjoy the ban shitbird |
Satellite
06.02.17 | pretty sure you just became acad's bff |
runaways
06.02.17 | Nah Black Sabbath are pretty much the only tolerable metal band. Grunge sucks other than Nirvana with all respect to Chris Cornell and any other grunge musician. The Beatles are cool but a lot of their albums are overrated agreed |
runaways
06.02.17 | who the fuck rates Aerosmith, Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed or Linkin Park that high? Certainly no one logical |
dreamgauze
06.02.17 | lmao @ 8
It's like people still haven't listened to In Utero. How is anything Alice In Chains have made better than that album? It's the pinnacle of grunge. |
dreamgauze
06.02.17 | Agreed on Black Sabbath as in their second and third album are overrated and don't really do anything for me but self-titled and Vol 4 are raw as fuck and actually classic. |

What planet are you on |
Divaman
06.02.17 | Nirvana definitely doesn't belong on this list. |
ryu
06.02.17 | Guns n Roses, Dream Theater, Placebo, U2, Joy Division, Parkway Drive, BMTH, Cannibal Corpse |
Relinquished
06.02.17 | what is this? sputnik back in 2008? |

06.02.17 | OP probably wasn't born yet in 2008 Wolfe. |
rhinocerosmilk
06.02.17 | I must be missing all these people overrating AC/DC and Anthrax |

06.02.17 | "you have a deconstruction at a 4.5 so i dunnnooo man
Welcome to the world of opinions."
yeh but occasionally the opinions just don't make sense. it's a bizarre world after all
also does anyone seriously overrate Cannibal Corpse? they get underrated if anything because of the negative response they get in threads like this |
Demon of the Fall
06.02.17 | 'Guns n Roses, Dream Theater, Placebo, U2, Joy Division, Parkway Drive, BMTH, Cannibal Corpse'
Better list than the original, especially as the original has Opeth which makes it automatically wrong. |
guitarded_chuck
06.02.17 | the Beatles were pioneers and cannot be overrated based on their innovation and influence and yeah tbh fuck you for calling sabbath overrated |
guitarded_chuck
06.02.17 | "joy division"
fall off the earth tbh
Christ some of you have awful taste, should really consider spending time elsewhere |
Demon of the Fall
06.02.17 | 'cannot be overrated based on their innovation'
disagreed with this, if you don't like an artist's music then of course it can be overrated, anything can be overrated to any one listener. That's the beauty of music, different people hear/like different things. I understand why The Beatles are heralded as pioneers & their legendary status is unquestioned, whether this means their music sounds incredible is certainly down to the individual. Respect & enjoyment don't necessarily go together. |
Rik VII
06.02.17 | "Christ some of you have awful taste, should really consider spending time elsewhere"
Is there meant to be a you or an I before the "should"? |
guitarded_chuck
06.02.17 | both really |
EphemeralEternity
06.02.17 | 'Possibly one of the more infamous Black Metal bands'
understatement of the century
'it sounds like it is recorded on a potato.'
implying that wasn't a deliberate production choice/ using it as a criticism is wack
'I really enjoy Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar Display of power, but their early material isn't that good and their later material isn't as amazing'
Their earlier material is irrelevant, they were basically a different band and TGST is their finest effort mate
' If they had not been an early metal band, I doubt that they would have had the same success and legendary status.'
They wouldn't sound like that either. You can't decontextualize music.
Actually that can be said for all these artists coz they were all seminal to their respective genres to some degree. |
Rik VII
06.02.17 | "You can't decontextualize music."
What? Yes you can |
EphemeralEternity
06.02.17 | 'What? Yes you can'
I mean you can in terms of 'I prefer x to y even tho i appreciate y laid the foundation for x to build off' sort of thing but to say a classic band wouldn't be deemed classic if they were around later is silly because it would quite possibly be an entirely different landscape without them being progenitors of the style/genre etc like a paradox nomsayin |
Anthracks
06.02.17 | made by a 15 year old with no respect for musical context |
Rik VII
06.02.17 | Yeah I guess I can get behind that. There's just this implication that a band that has had a huge role in influencing others deserves to be high regarded, which is illogical. So yeah, a band being influential is more or less an objective thing, but it doesn't have to mean that the band can't be overrated. If you had to contextualize everything to form an opinion on it, you'd have to literally listen to every album the artist has ever listened to to make sure it was purely original or that is wasn't just an accident that this album was influential and not some of the stuff it imitated, hahah |
LepreCon
06.02.17 | "Overrated" is a severely overrated word. It is an utterly useless concept and phrase. |

06.03.17 | "Pearl Jam, Rolling Stones, Green Day, The Who" [2] |
chemicalkid44
02.28.18 | Nirvana and the Beatles completely deserve their legendary status. and Alice In Chains doesn't even begin to rival Nirvana.
"Nirvana definitely doesn't belong on this list." [2] |
Kalopsia
02.28.18 | Alice in Chains beats Nirvana any day |
DoofusWainwright
02.28.18 | At what? |

03.02.18 | AiC is good, but no, it's not better than Nirvana. |
