I think its a bit unfair to list an artist who was before you were born. Lennon was the most quotable Beatle, Elvis opened the doors for others etc. IF you weren't around its easy to say its overrated without witnessing the impact their music had. Just my personal opinion.

Oh yes, Beyonce's another one. Do not get the fuss at all.

Good singer with mediocre songs is suddenly so big? :shrug: She's Cheryl Cole with a better voice to me.

Hmm you can dislike a band or artist without denying they had a big impact on the music scene though..

The thread is basically asking who you dislike that others think you should like.

not sure there's any i'm susposed to like. ive always just played anything regardless of whats cool or whats considerd great in or out. etc

There is tons that i just dont get. jay z , kayne west. pink floyd to name but 3.
beyonce is crap most annoying music with no melody ive ever heard. but no one i know would tell me to listen to her lol.

dave mathews band. they do massive numbers touring. i just dont get it. they are not that good.

could name tons. i just dont get the hype to. normally acts they were good but stopped being good but are still raved about, dont get nirvanna either

I like just about everyone but I think the most overrated is Springsteen... have to be American I guess to appreciate his same sound over 30-odd years

wtf. springsteen is forever changing thats why he is the only artist of his years to stil be top of everything. , you dont have to be american his biggest audience is in europe.
as everyfan will tell you . you have to see him live then your get it.

Live and on record are entirely different things, if I'm not bothered by the record why on earth would I fork out about £100+ to see him :umm2:

:joker:

Again that's the basic point of the thread though, if you dislike an artist or band then it doesn't matter if people say 'wtf you just need to listen to this song or see them live then you will love them' etc when really if you dislike it then nine times out of ten you aren't going to change your mind about just because someone tells you that you should like them

Gaga, Vamps,Maria Cary, Brittany Spears,Beyoncé,Elvis,and The Spice Girls

You've missed my point somewhat. I'm saying its a bit unfair to list an artist before your time cuz its easy to say they're overrated without witnessing first hand the impact their musics had. I'm not saying people cant do it I just think if you weren't around then you never really appreciate the impact of an artists music.

cause songs come alive when performed live. if the artist is good. springsteen is the best live act ever you wont get that from one or 2 cd's

i'd rather see nicki minaj sorry

D: Springsteen must be bad if you'd resort to that!

I got the point of your post.

You have again went back to the artists impact thing....when the threads about disliking an artist that lots of other people like.

I could turn round and say I don't really like Elvis' music but I wont deny he was a massive impact in his time.

You seem to be over complicating the thread when it's a pretty straightforward question..the impact doesn't matter if you dislike someones music.

yea but if someone says you got to hear beyonce is she great thats just yeah maybe but i dont like her. but if someone says elvis sucks they need educating as are obviosuly insane lol

i dont even know who that is lol

Also, being a Hip Hop fan I am a little ashamed to admit I'm not a huge Wu-Tang fan.

I'm not surprised by that. The Wu take quite a lot of getting into. All the different concept albums with members playing different roles; its alot to take in.

Rihanna

I love dark skinned girls, I like husky singing voices, but I'm just not a fan. I think she's hugely overrated and her songs are just generic crap.

No you didnt get my point. The point was it is EASY to pick artists before your time. I'm, waiting for someone to say Mozart or Bach or Puccini were overrated. Its all a bit easy to pick an artists you dont quite get.

On that note I'm surprised no one picked Radiohead yet.

shaun how ****ing dare you have an opinion you white piece of ****

The Beatles definitely.

People know what they like and dislike Girth regardless of when the artist was around..

mozart is way overated. he hasn't done anything good for years.

Do they? I'm not so sure about that.
