Your Most Overrated Bands

[Ugly Nora]

Just because you don't like the style of music somebody plays doesn't negate their musical talent.

Can you explain this to my girlfriend please? I tell her this all the time and she doesn't believe me.

how do you quantify talent?

By how much shit you can get away with stealing from other artists?

(FWIW, we can say MJ was a better singer and dancer than QJ… and that's about it. )

Non the less at this point, right now, you are overrating him, you've now gone over that edge
[and yes I agree with you on MJ]

[Chankgeez]

Am I overrating him though?

This's how his Wikipedia entry begins:

"Quincy Delight Jones Jr. (born March 14, 1933), also known as "Q", is an American record producer, actor, conductor, arranger, composer, musician, television producer, film producer, instrumentalist, magazine founder, entertainment company executive, and humanitarian."

Sure you are and so are they because it should say "average Seattle born jazz musician who managed to destroy music by the advent of multimedia based pop promotions by way of the album thriller"

[Chankgeez]

Well, they're just stating his accomplishments. Take that for what you will.

IMO, he's definitely above average in certain things. I mostly love his soundtrack stuff. He's not that great as a jazz musician. He's got talent in his composing/arranging/producing. Whatever you think of him, he's a success by any measure.

If you think Quincy Jones "destroyed music", then what's overrated, is your idea of yourself as a music historian.


Kisses.

Billy Corgan is the only person who rates Billy Corgan highly.

It does in this thread.

Music historians are overrated.

Read this whole thread, and no one said Pink Floyd, so I'm saying it...Pink Floyd. I think dudes were possibly allergic to fun. I like some of the Syd singles, but after that, just kill me.

[More_Divebombs]

Crass.

I liked what they're about (less so now as Steve Ignorant turned out to be a bit of a shithouse), but I find it astonishing how highly they are regarded artistically. A lot of their music is unlistenable. I dig how they were a thorn in the side of the Tories, but the songs are crap.

.Pink Floyd. I think dudes were possibly allergic to fun..

Fun is overrated.
