most overrated of the 33 most overrated in rock

hard to choose between kiss,rick rubin the producer,grammys,,woodstick,pink floyd and festivals

They could have at least snuck "Ween" in between God and Satan.

writing your own songs (though that doesn't happen as much as you think anymore...)

Blender deserves to be donkeypunched for including Lester in this list, even if he is SLIGHTLY overrated...

Hahahaha, I was expecting some boring list of bands, but this is pretty awesome ...

So many to choose from, but I keep coming back to "the music before you were born". Choices like "texting people from concerts" and "winning American Idol" haven't been around long enough to be all that overrated. But overrating pre-born music has been around as long as I can remember. That, and 2PAC worship. (j/k, sorta)

the grammys, obvs

yeah but when you come to think about it, there are many people who love music and know that the grammys are pointless, as oppose to woodstock for example who is still a sacred cow in a way

i agree that the grammys are less rated than many of the others on the list but at least most other things on the list have providing at least one good thing to the music world (except for TEXTING PEOPLE AT A CONCERT TO SAY, “I’M AT A CONCERT!” but no one has ever done that to me).

if mentioning texting,they could also include "youtube clips out of live shows"

but that is not overrated at all!

it's not overrated only on the rare occasion when its not poor quality.
(though on such a small frame even the best quality is poor as default)

cocaine & your favorite bloggers favorite band & the in rainbows model.

(a play in one act.)

kinda weird how texting "i'm at a concert' is overrated (as in stupid) while Twitter is supposed to be the new cool hip thing.

i think i have a hate for producer, i am leaning to voting for either Timbaland or Rick Rubin.

TJE PRENICSIOU INFUZNEC OF PETR SOUGNDS MAKESX ME SOO ANGRLY I CSNA EVNE TYEPO

seems like you can typo fine imo

THE MUSIC YOU LOVED AS A TEENAGER

big hoos otm

There's nothing wrong with dream theater and DMB, hoos.

why are mxpx so bad and hated

BEING INFLUENCED BY PET SOUNDS

i dont understand what this list is trying to say.. it's just a bunch of random shit.. i'm happy blender got shitcanned because i hate them.

Oh yeah.. they forgot "MUSIC."

I think they also forgot "GUITARS."

"ALBUMS WITH SONGS"

YOUR FAVORITE BLOGGER’S NEW FAVORITE BAND

wtf?

billstevejim u have been sbd

Seriously.. this the worst music list I've ever seen in my life, and I frequent Digg.

i forgot some people here prob worked for blender.. i didnt mean you.

certain things should be on blogs, and certain things should be in magazines.. blender never learned the difference.

Bonus points for including "Lists" on their list??

yeah, I want to vote "lists" just for the meta

BEING INFLUENCED BY PET SOUNDS <-------- this is now very tedious

You know, this list is just as pathetic as the other Blender list being polled right now, only from the opposite perspective. While the list of "worst" acts was no doubt very "rockist", this is "anti-rockism" at its most pathetically paroical.

No results found for paroical:

Did you mean parodical (in dictionary) or Parfocal (in reference)?

GETTING BACKSTAGE tho, ftw

"so here I am. backstage. hey there's [MUSICIAN] FROM [BAND]. don't really know 'em though, don't have much if anything to say to 'em. and i don't wanna be rude and interrupt their conversation with that person in the suit. so here I am. backstage. any free warm piss weak beer around?"

i laughed at a few of these

encores for the win

also sick of hearing about cbgb

tho def. not SEXIN ALL NIGHT LONG amirite

There's nothing wrong with dream theater and DMB, hoos.

Oh yes there is.

i didn't realize the grammies were overrated by anyone

^^only by the grammy-winners

WINNING AMERICAN IDOL

^^^this is not rock /indiefuck

also, no 'classically trained' no cred.

probably CBGBs if you took the whole lifespan of the club into consideration not just like three years in the late 70s

Def voted getting backstage.

also, no 'classically trained' no cred.

You are not kidding there

lots of times you can smoke backstage though, which is the most satisfying smoking IMO

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

"WRITING YOUR OWN SONGS" probably the most actually overrated.

ILX will eat itself...
