Support NeoGAF

[Erv]

I'm talking about singers,rappers, producers,etc

 

[eggandI]

Lorde is trash & a sell out
J Cole corny
Aubrey Graham got lazy and his last two albums have been boring

Oh yeah, and the rock genre as a whole..

 

[Transistor]

Radiohead

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Kanye West.

I love hiphop and rnb. But I really don't see the appeal.

 

[Floridian]

Adele. Her sales are massive but her music is just mediocre/boring to me.

Also, the fact that she sweeps Grammys with bland albums like 25 confirms more.

 

[Ceres]

Dave mathews band

 

[maquiladora]

Radiohead

You have bad taste.

 

[Erv]

Kendrick Lamar I actually like a lot. but the praise he gets makes him seem like a rap God which he is not

 

[Manmademan]

Miyamoto

 

[FonkyByNature]

For me, it's definitely Kanye West.

His music does absolutely nothing for me and i'm a hardcore hip-hop fan, 90's style shit, boom bap jazzy beats and all that funk not the stuff Kanye or these "new generation" rappers do.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Radiohead

Kanye West.

I love hiphop and rnb. But I really don't see the appeal.

I agree with both of these. Don't understand the appeal. I like some of Kanye's stuff, but people hyping him as one of the best rappers ever just confuses me. I hate Radiohead utterly and completely.

 

[Htown]

Radiohead

yeah, I just don't get it

 

[Choomp]

Drake

 

[Kaladin]

Radiohead

Dave mathews band

I came to say these and add R.E.M.

 

[Takuan]

Kendrick. I cannot get over his voice.

He still has tracks that bang, tho.

 

[Sephzilla]

Kanye West and, to a lesser extent, Taylor Swift

 

[Zeshile]

Radiohead

This.

They're okay. Not the greatest thing to ever happen like many people would try to make you believe.

 

[richardhawk]

Bjork. I've even seen her live. Terrible music.

 

[Akainu]

Got damn can we just use musicians? I think this is the second time this week. I was excepting an art thread.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I don't because overrated just means "People like this too much" which is dumb as fuck and not a criticism.

 

[Addy117]

Justin Beiber

(Although "Sorry" was pretty catchy and i didnt know it was a JB song at first)

 

[FairyD]

Radiohead

Queen

 

[Megalosaro]

Drake

This. I don't get it.

My roommate loves the guy. We have a fucking picture of him framed at my entrance.

 

[gatling]

Another vote for Lorde. That Birkenstock brand of eccentricity you hear while shopping at The Gap.

 

[Envelope]

Radiohead

One and done

 

[Violence Jack]

Dave mathews band

This is my answer. Overrated isn't strong enough for me. I flat out hate their music.

Also, Sam Smith and Taylor Swift

 

[Sunster]

I agree with both of these. Don't understand the appeal. I like some of Kanye's stuff, but people hyping him as one of the best rappers ever just confuses me. I hate Radiohead utterly and completely.

you need to disappear completely

Spoiler

radiohead joke

 

[modernmalady]

"Rock and Roll Nightclub" is one of my favorite albums, and I still listen to every album Mac Demarco puts out but I do feel he's a bit overrated.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Michael Jackson is overrated af

 

[SpaceWolf]

"This artist's music does not appeal to me as an individual. Therefore, I definitely judge sad artist to be entirely over-rated because their music isn't catering to my personal tastes"

 

[RMI]

most of whatever is on top40 radio drives me crazy. Adele is one. It's just not for me.

Bjork. I've even seen her live. Terrible music.

you are a monster

I've seen her live as well and love her.

 

[1st Course]

Do the Beatles count?

I mean I know they're an icon and all but honestly I just don't find their music all that appealing.

 

[EazyWeazy3]

Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Drake, J. Cole.

 

[Erv]

Do the Beatles count?

I mean I know they're an icon and all but honestly I just don't find their music all that appealing.

Same

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Kanye West.

I love hiphop and rnb. But I really don't see the appeal.

Amen.

I just don't get it.

 

[Manu]

Ghost

 

[Social]

Michael Jackson is overrated af

Hmm, is this that bait thing people always talk about on here?

 

[Malvolio]

I'll need a list of official rankings before I can decide if I agree with where an artist is placed.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Beatles. I like most of their music but man the way they are touted.

 

[woolley]

Lorde is trash & a sell out

I never really understood the whole sellout complaint people make about artists. Like even if they did do you really blame them? I would sellout in a heartbeat if I could.

 

[DOWN]

Kendrick Lamar I actually like a lot. but the praise he gets makes him seem like a rap God which he is not

I love his work alone but his voice is nasally and his features on other people's stuff is among the worst there is on the radio today. Like can you stop with the Taylor Swift, Sia, and Maroon 5 phoned in feature verses?

 

[Malreyn]

This thread is practically screaming "Post something to sound edgy"

 

[Strangelove77]

Forget it, I'm out. These threads are dumb.

 

[Erv]

Like we're the Beatles even good singers? They're voices are kinda meh

 

[minor effort]

I never understood why people thought Pixies were such an amazing band. Every time I tried to listen to them I was thoroughly bored, and I gave them a number of chances.

 

[SamVimes]

Like we're the Beatles even good singers? They're voices are kinda meh

This is the level of discourse you can expect from this thread y'all.

 

[RMI]

Thinking about it, MASTADON. Leviathan and some of Blood Mountain is okay but after that it's just a bunch of prog-wankery up to whatever the hell that last album was.

Like we're the Beatles even good singers? They're voices are kinda meh

their voices are fine. technical ability is not the end all be all of art.

I never understood why people thought Pixies were such an amazing band. Every time I tried to listen to them I was thoroughly bored, and I gave them a number of chances.

you can start and stop your trying to listen to the Pixies with Doolittle. It's a great record and anything but boring. Surfer Rosa is ok.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I never really understood the whole sellout complaint people make about artists. Like even if they did do you really blame them? I would sellout in a heartbeat if I could.

Nah, these people should get part-time jobs at Thriftway to make ends meet and just perform their music on subway platforms the way REAL ARTISTS do.

Arguments like that put me in mind of Tool's "Hooker with a Penis." All you know about me is what I've sold you, dumb fuck, I sold out long before you ever even heard my name. I sold my soul to make a record, dipshit, and you bought one.

 

[Netherscourge]

I don't hate Radiohead, but I have no idea why they have such a huge following.

They are just a run-of-the-mill alternative band to me.



ALSO - I think JJ Abrams is completely overrated.

 

[Calm Killer]

Radiohead
Daft Punk
Bruce Springsteen
