There is so much to learn about the Beach Boys.

Nothing Raja wrote is overrated (except for himself of course).

Okay lets remove REM and put Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. I friggin hate the boss. Anyone who calls himself The BOSS has to be an asshole.
I've never understood the whole 'Police'... 'Sting' fasination. Stuart Copeland is a great drummer. The greatness just about ends there. I also never understood the belief that Eric Clapton is amongst the greatest guitarist, etc. Juste taste perhaps. CB "The problem with 'mind over matter' is that mind *is* matter" - Me

At #1 on this list, I think the overrating of the Beach Boys is way overrated.

I read one review by this guy who hated Springsteen too. He said if he's the *boss* than I'm a *disgruntled employee*

Please don't make me go into my speech again about this overrated/underated topic. One poster is a little pissed off. I mainly did it though for PR as a joke, though I know I'm right. :-)
Who is over-rating these bands? It's all opinion and on one list a band may be rated highly, on another not so highly. So what? An over- rated band *to me* is simply a band that other people like more than I do. So, as far as I'm concerned, AC/DC are over-rated, so are Radiohead and Coldplay, so is Prince, and so on, but there is no relevance to any of these over- or under-rated artists unless I have a point of reference that is relevant to me, and all I care about is finding good new music. This means that if a band is called "under- rated" by someone whose tastes I know to be similar to mine, I may get a lead to something interesting. I don't see how anything else matters - except at the level of schoolyard banter by 10 year olds. Hey, I like some Bruce Springsteen stuff: Thunder Road and Born To Run are superb, same goes for most of The Rising; I like The River so much I sing it myself. I like some Sting and Police tracks too; Sting's first two solo studio albums are full of great songs. Do I care that you think they're over-rated? No. As for under-rated artists? A far more useful topic - potentially - but not when it just turns into another slanging match.

Springsteen before 1984 had an original sound, great imagery in his lyrics, and a decent band.
Since bellowing "Born in the USA" for the first time, Springsteen never matched his 70s output. For a while, he catered to commercial tasted. Now he's just a filthy-rich guy trying to sound like a rail- riding Depression-era Okie.

1)Led Zeppelin The song remains inane, and every one of them plods on forever. I could sing like that, too, if somebody drove a staple into my tongue. 2)Yes Couple good singles, then albums and albums full of wank (a subject that as we know Raja is intimately familiar with). I could sing like that, too, if somebody cut my balls off and =then= drove a staple into my tongue. 3)Pink Floyd Unbelievably tedious one-chord jams played by musicians who apparently never practised all that much, punctuated by robot fart synthesizer bleeps and oddly incongruous white-boy blues guitar solos. I don't think I have an unusually high threshold of pain, but you couldn't hurt me enough to make me sing like that.
oh, and fuck off, Raja.

Communication Breakdown and Immigrant song plods forever? Just trolling right? You like Zeppelin

LOL, there is no wanking on CTTE. If you are talking about think Allman Bros. Trolling again, I know you like Yes.

This is just plain lie. You like Floyd as well.
Nice try to piss me off. It didnt work. And why Zep/Floyd/Yes in a thread in which I didnt mention them at all.
