I don't know who I would consider the worst, but I find KISS quite overrated. Attila's album "Attila" is absolutely atrocious I don't know what the worst thing I've listened to is as I try to avoid things I dislike.
Well.... worst would have to be pretty much any of the rappers that are popular now... I like rap, but the rap i listened to back in the day really talked about things, instead of just yelling a bunch of cuss words...
Most overrated.. Taylor Swift (find a recording of her live without autotune.. she's awful
Overrated? A lot of (but not all) mainstream pop artists and some mainstream rap/hip-hop (or whatever, I know there's a difference, I just want to cover my bases) are pretty bad.
Worst? Any forced, wet look, candy store, middle of the road pop...'One Direction', 'K$sha', 'Britney Spears', 'LMFAO', 'Bruno Mars', 'Cher Lloyd' the list goes on really.... it's all just terrible. Bad, nonsensical lyrics and generic 'plink plink' music. No, just no.....
Overrated? See above really. Oh, and 'Kings Of Leon' and possibly 'Green Day' (which hurts as the first 3 Green Day albums were good doses of American Punk, and yes there is a difference 'tween English and American Punk)
Worst: Tie between all that rap crap from nowadays (as stated before the older stuff had a meaning behind the song) and any such "singer" (and the term is used loosely) such as rhianna, beiber, nikki minaj, pretty much anyone who needs autotune to not sound like a beached whale choking on an angry german.
Most Overated: The Beatles......... Sure they have some great songs but when all you hear is their music everywhere you start to pay more attention and start picking out EVERY little thing you dont like about each song
Not even trolling. Hey Jude is their only truly good song, and a few other catchy ones like "back in the USSR" and "Paperback Writer". The rest just fall flat to me. This is not a troll, I honestly think they are the most overrated band of time. Moreso than Kiss, Bob Dylan, or anyone else
Worst band? That's tough to do, because the TRULY bad bands never get famous to begin with.

I can see that... A Dose Of Buckley compared One Direction to the Beatles. I'll let you all judge. Warning, possibly NSFW...
Oh thank god I wasn't the only one who has noticed this.
I just didn't post it because I knew the mere fact of saying Beatles was the most overated band ever would cause people's heads to explode. Blaming the Beatles for the Back Street boyz, Justin Beiber, One Direction, etc. etc. would probably cause a lynch mob to be formed on me.

The Beatles were an influence to Brit Pop, Heavy Metal (Helter Skelter), Punk Rock, etc and probably a dozen of other genres and artists considering they covered a wide range of styles.
Well at least I am not the only Beatles nay sayer, and really it does not mater what they were influenced by they are still over rated and 90ish% of people you ask will wet themselves on the spot and give you their life story about how much they love the Beatles.
and now to feast on the souls and agony of those who give hilarious responses to this beatles nay saying

I never said they didn't, I'm just telling the ugly truth that they were one of the first big boy bands, and showed that that style of group could be incredibly successful and lucrative. As for stuff like heavy metal and punk rock, yes, they had a bit of influence, but they were far from the defining force in those musical styles. It was more along the lines of "hey cool, I like this song, lets do a heavy cover of it" rather than "Wow this Beatles stuff is awesome, I'm going to play heavy metal" (incredibly dumbed down explanation, but you get the jist)It would be like someone saying that since I like Modest Mouse, it's a huge influence on me, when I play almost nothing but hard and stoner rock. I would say bands like the Rolling Stones and the Kinks had far more impact on those "heavier" styles than the Beatles could ever dreamed of. And of course, the Rolling Stones proved that you could market a band as "bad boys" and get people to buy into it too, so they're not exactly innocent in this comparison.
Also, I wonder how many friendship triangles I'm going to earn from these posts. I swear to god I'm not trolling, I'm dead serious. I will put in a warning that I am a Rolling Stones fan, so that implies a bit of bias to my arguments, but if you really want to tell me The Beatles aren't over rated, go back and listen to their albums. I mean REALLY listen to them, not just the "hits"

What do you mean really listen to there albums, they're one of the most consistent bands in terms of quality music and praised by both causal music listeners and critics almost all of there studio receive universal praise. Also I'll agree that The Beatles were not the defining force for
Heavy Metal, blues and psychedelic rock was but Punk Rock however always had poppy beats to it.

What I mean is that the albums I listened to were mostly forgettable. You have a few "hits" per album, and then rest are pretty meh, which is something to expect from a band like the Beatles in their earlier years when they were more of a pop band. As for their later stuff, they seemed to be trying to write really coherent albums, but I never cared for them (personal bias here)
As for poppy beats, the Beatles hardly own that at all. The Kinks and the Stones were both from around that time and both had songs that were as catchy as the Beatles (if perhaps not for the same target audience)

Yeah, Punk Rock borrowed from 60's pop music as a whole, as well as combining it with protopunk (Patti Smith, The Stooges, New York Dolls, The Modern Lovers, MC5, The Velvet Underground) and Glam Rock.

Oh god somebody gave me some of their albums once. I even have some guitar picks from them.
I took one look at the CD case and thought to myself "my god, what have we done?"

Worst, Srkillex, Even in dubstep I hate him more than the others.
Overrated: nirvana. I like them, and they were a part of my generation, but they were very one note, and smells like teen spirit is played way too much.

Ahh blessed ignorance of youth and musical history.
First boy band?? HAH. check back to the 40s and 50s, here is an example that was all the rage and even had white women swooning in 1953
Thats right, The Four Tops.
Oh and before that, the first of the boy bands according to internet searching.
The Ink Spots, 1934.
Yes the Beatles are overrated.. I agree.

Punk originated in the mid-late 70's so stuff like Bowie, New York Dolls and T-Rex is what I mean by Glam Rock and the 80's stuff you're thinking of is called Glam Metal (or Hair Metal) which is different from Glam Rock.

Not even trolling. Hey Jude is their only truly good song, and a few other catchy ones like "back in the USSR" and "Paperback Writer". The rest just fall flat to me. This is not a troll, I honestly think they are the most overrated band of time. Moreso than Kiss, Bob Dylan, or anyone else
Worst band? That's tough to do, because the TRULY bad bands never get famous to begin with.
I'm agreeing
At uni, we had a lecturer who was obsessed with them - he showed us how the 'white album' contains the seeds of all genres of music. They might have done, but other people have definately come along afterwords and improved the genres.
Really not a fan - I just find them boring.
I also find the Sex Pistols overrated. They could barely play. Lemmy tried to give Sid Vicious bass lessons and said it was impossible - then Sid phoned a week later and went 'I'm in a band' They were constructed by Malcolm Mclaren in order to sell Vivian Westwoods clothes. They claim not to have realised the queens jubilee was coming when they released 'God save the queen'.
Bodies, God save the queen, Anarchy in the uk - I like. And now John Lydon is advertising butter.

Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

They're a Punk Rock band simplicity is what defines the genre it was a way to rebel against the technically demanding, self indulgent rock music that was popular during the 70's (prog rock and Heavy Metal) and really introduce a new form of rock music, The Sex Pistols were one of the
most influential bands so many people tried to imitate their style or borrow some of their ideas.

Yes - and being formed by a manager in order to promote clothes sales is quite the spirit of punk...
I like them - I just don't think they are the band people make them out to be.
