Note- I can't believe someone put Maxwell on that list. Anyone that has heard this brother sing live, knows he is the real deal. He is one of the few from the "new" school that can actually sing very well and entertain. Women are always going goo goo over his looks but beyond that, he really is talented.

I totally agree!!!

Well, I wanted to say: "You said he was "the real deal" while clearly he wasn't..."
But I didn't really want to put too much energy in talking about a clueless, attention starved media disaster...

Neversin.


To Cloudbuster, he's just an eccentric with a lost little boy complex. And we must not say anything bad about the poor thing. It might hurt his feelings. Awwwww.


You shouldn't talk about Neversin like that. smile

the strokes,white stripes...

I agree with these two, although I think the White Stripes are still a decent band. The Strokes, on the other hand, I was sick of halfway through my first listen of Is This It. The songs were far too similar to one another, and pretty boring to boot.

Christina Aquilera (yes, she can actually SING, unlike her overrated rival Britney)

Just out of curiosity, tell me what's your take on Elvis? Is he overrated?
He didn't write or compose one single song in his lifetime.

More than anyone mentioned here, Radiohead are by far the most overrated band ever, painfully mediocre group

Although i quite like their music, i agree they are overrated.

What really gets me is how Radiohead are spoken of as pushing the boat out by getting into experimental music.

I mean, WTF ???? Exactly the same shit has been going on for decades if you know where to look.

This is just off the top of my head:

Alicia Keys (meanwhile India.Arie gets slept on)
50 Cent (2Pac wannabe)
Jay-Z(nothing special)
Justin Trousersnake (although he does have some soul)
Mariah Carey (someone should slap her)
Nirvana (meanwhile The Pixies get slept on)
P. Diddy (although I do respect him as a businessman)
Radiohead (damn Pink Floyd wannabes)
Lil' Jon & the Eastsidaz (Jam Master Jay died for this???)
The Strokes (I used to see guys like that in the East Village all the time. I don't know how
they became stars because of that image.)
Beyonce (I swear, she's becoming the new Diana Ross, while Kelly & Michelle are
becoming the other 2 Surpremes)
Hilary Duff (She should enojy these 15 minutes of fame that Disney's given her while she can)
Britney(She needs to just go away already!!)
Christina (She's got talent, but no depth to her music.)
matchbox 20 (Gawd, they're so fucking annoying! mad)

I still don't understand why Radiohead are compared to Pink Floyd. They sound nothing like one another.
Besides, at least Radiohead have some power to a lot of their stuff. I don't mind Pink Floyd but most of the time they make me wanna snooze. zzz

Oh, and Radiohead aren't overrated. mad

Critical darlings always are. They're overhyped and overtouted, so when you finally hear them, they're a major letdown. See also: Norah Jones.

I agree. Although I don't necessarily love all of their stuff, they are one of my favorites. And I don't see the Pink Floyd-Radiohead connection at ALL. disbelief

I bought Instant Vintage and Comfort Woman, gave them the requisite minimum of 3 plays beore rendering a verdict and then gave them away to my son's friends.

Instant Vintage tries so hard to be a Stevie Wonder opus that it hurts to see the effort, and Comfort Woman was just boring; New Power Soul has more interest for me than that one. I also don't like M'shells monotonous voice.

One more, Sheryl Crow - the teenagers playing old Ska music in my basement on weekends have more originality than this woman.


With all due respect, you have absolutely no earthly idea of what REAL music is supposed to sound like. Plus the fact, the brotha is not even overrated...he's seriously UNDERRATED. whofarted

But, you are entitled to your opinion. confused
