I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again: Anyone who thinks The Beatles are over rated can have no opinion on music.

Love their music or not, the acclaim they got and continue to get is not without reason. If you can name another band who managed to do so much for songwriting, composing, technology, society etc.etc. in less than a decade I'd like to hear about them. Probably THE most influential band of all time.


They may be the most influential, but that doesn't make them the best.

No one said anything about the best. Just because a band is the most influential doesn't mean that they're necessarily going to be liked by everyone.

It's possible to appreciate what a band has done for music but not like their music, if that makes sense.

I still consider The Beatles one of the greatest bands ever, but I'm not much of a fan. So, yes, I know it is possible.

Paramore.
Hayley's voice doesn't even sound that good live from what I've heard from people who went to their concerts. Coolio

Some of their older stuff like Emergency and Pressure I like but idk.

Agreed! I have 2 of their albums - Abbey Road and Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band which are two very good albums

One current band that is very overrated is the Jonas Brothers - they are everywhere!

They were the band who influenced many artists and bands to write their own music.

I've seen Paramore live twice. They're good in a small venue but couldn't really handle Brixton Academy methinks.

Hayley's voice is even better live than on record.

Oh, sorry.
Yes, I was being sarcastic. You couldn't see me so I'll lay the scene out for you; after I typed that comment, I had to go and get a towel- the sarcasm was simply dripping off me.


I think there should be a saracsm button omg.

(unfortunatly) I saw Paramore live once and you could hardly hear her.. could have been caused by bad soundchecking though

but I think they're very overrated anyway ..they're nothing special

Tool are quality but they're hard to get into. Most people just find them boring or repetitive, but you have to ~get them~ to think they're any good.

They make very clever music - especially with the time signatures.
