Here's my more comprehensive list of artists I just don't get:

Elton John
Paul McCartney & Wings
Van Halen
Yes
Electric Light Orchestra
Doobie Brothers
U2
Mariah Carey
Jennifer Lopez


:drums:

Agree with your last three Fox, but I like Elton John, Wings, Yes, VH, ELO and the Doobies. If anything I think the Doobies are vastly underrated especially the pre McDonald era of the band.

Guns & Roses gets my vote as very overrated, and I despise Axel Rose with a passion.

AC/DC: If it aint broke dont fix it. It works for what it's for

I wouldn't consider U2 a "classic" rock band. they are more alternative rock even though they've been around for a lot of years. Everyone likes to bash them but look who's filling up the stadiums.

Guns & Roses gets my vote as very overrated, and I despise Axel Rose with a passion.

I second the vote for GNR

There is a tune or two of Elton John's that I would listen to ... I agree that the above are groups/artists that I wouldn't buy any of their recording.

I dont consider U2 overrated or over hyped. They have a great stage performance, and still pack the stadiums. Joshua Tree sets them apart, IMO. I am not a huge Bono fan either, Bono himself is overrated :eek:hyeah:


I will break down and jump on the Guns and Roses bandwagon, though. They were over hyped and force fed crap to the fans back in the 80's. And the more recent GNR, Chinese Democracy, was terrible. Axel should have kept the band in a retired status. Hell he is the only original member and still trying to cash in on the past success............


FAIL

I forgot to include Joni Mitchell on my list. It's her vocal theatrics that earn her a place.

:D

Are we still talking about over hyped/ overrated artists, or artists that just didn't make the cut?

Joni Mitchell is a decent artist, but she just didn't have what it took to make the big leagues. This is way way different than over hyped, IMO.
