  2. Which album is most over-rated hard rock release?

    in General Music Discussion

    Posted

    Just my 2 cents :) :

     

    I think the Darkness' over-ratedness depends on which circles of people you look at it from. I think generally only non-rock fans like them (sorry to the exceptions here - Nick and Jez :D) but most rock fans actually detest them with most fibres of their being... so yeah, over-rated by the public, but not by the general rock fan... IMO. :)

     

    Velvet Revolver - I agree. I tried to convince myself the album was okay... but seriously, it pretty much sucks.

     

    Def Leppard - I have to admit I still love 'Hysteria' and whilst not a bench-mark for metal albums, it is a brilliant peice of melodic rock/AOR. As for being soft every release after... remember, IMO, their finest album chaps - 'Retroactive'. Some of the tracks on that own 10-tonne balls. :)

     

    Metallica - :lol: being the soft-cock I am, the black album is the one one I like. :)

     

    Poison - Love them all. Don't really think they're over-rated because they were only ever rated as a good commercial rock band, who wrote fun, catchy commercial anthems... which is exactly what they did. No one ever said they were great musicians. :)

     

    The ones that always get me in trouble, but I have to add to every poll of this type (I've done one here myself before):

     

    Van Halen ; sorry guys, I just think there were a thousand better bands who wrote a million better songs than these guys. IMO, most albums were crammed with filler and was Eddie really that good that this band deserved their fame?

     

    Toto ; Sorry again, just can't get into them and their style of song-writing is hard for me to cope with.

     

    Journey ; Again, a thousand better bands and a thousand better songs. I don't hate these guys, just think they are SO over-rated and never understood why most AOR fans think to really appreciate AOR you must like these guys.

     

    Led Zepplin ; I cannot see it at all... these guys bore me to death.

     

     

    Wow Geoff I used to like you man!!!!!! J/K will have to disagree with Van Halen....absolutely love these guys and definately do not have filler albums IMO. And yes Eddie WAS that damn good!!!!!!!!!

    Love Led Zeppelin as well and Journey(getting into them more now)

     

    But to each his own that's why were are all here for our different tastes in ROCK but still we ALL love ROCK.

    Most under-rated guitarists for me would be

     

    Aldo Nova - man do love his stuff now after hearing a bootleg of him in '83 I think!!!

     

    Reb Beach (Winger) very very underrated

     

    Bill Leverty (Firehouse) just love his playing.

     

    Ronnie 10/10 Younkins (Kix) totally underrated player, can't wait to see these guys live next weekend!!!!!

    You know I was thinkin' the exact same thing about Metallica, man once that hit and everyone had it they just Blew Up and then shortly after imploded. Sad really...........but as Jerry Cantrell puts it when he said something to Lars and James about selling out "hell yeah we're selling out arena after arena"

     

    Thinkin' of some other over-rated albums.

     

    Well any Poison album could definately be considered over-rated with the exception of IMO Flesh & Blood now that was just all around solid album.

    Hear me out here I'm goin' with Def Leppard's Hysteria.....I mean I love that album and its their most popular yes I know all this. I'm mainly putting it up here for what it caused after this album(the boys lost their edge) and every album since has just been softer than the next one. Now sayin' all this I own every Def Leppard album except the last greatest hits comp and their new covers album(haven't gotten around to picking this one up). Guess that is just one my observations.
