bands that are mega hyped

all the nickelback fans on this forum are gonna be offended.

Efterklang

The Knife

Wu Tang

Belle and Sebastian

The Clash

Really...mainstream hype fail like Nickelback goes without saying. That entire list is fail, minus Rolling Stones (early stuff, of course).

The Clash? Jesus fucking Christ get out of my thread you heretic.

What Clash I've heard doesn't do it for me either.

Whoever said the Antlers...totally. I listen to that album 4 months ago and I still haven't woken up completely.

They're mega hyped but I just can't get into them. Never have in more than 30 years.

am i the only fucking person who hates the shit out of ween?

i told you to get out.

they're not hyped. they're celebrated.

edit: @ carrotdick

agree with Tom Waits.

the more you post the more i hate you.

as a side note i could never get into dub step.

Def agree with Wu-Tang Clan. That first album Enter the Wu-Tang 36 Chambers gets so much hype. I just listen to it and hear a boring dirge. Illmatic by Nas anyone? That seems over hyped too me.

All of you who don't get The Clash? Try Guns of Brixton and if you don't like that then don't waste your time anymore.

bibio, burial

This could apply to the Ween comment as well.

Nah that's an awesome album.

I agree about Burial...most of it's no bid deal, and some tracks I just plain don't like. The ones with vocals, eww.

Also, Transit Kings, Living in a Giant Candle Winking at God was quite mediocre for a supergroup comprised of The KLF + The Orb

Ting Tings

Paramore

Tokio Hotel

Cobra Starship

Owl City

LMFAO

I think I'm gonna be sick now...

animal collective is the best band ever

liars (what's the point of having two drummers when they just bash floor toms over and over for the whole song?)

90% of commercial pop music (though that's not surprising at all considering most of it is probably written by committee)

devendra banhart

yeah, animal collective (mpp isn't bad though)

PHISH

Rolling Stones

The Eagles

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Oasis

Rihanna

Kanye West

Nickelback

 

Every group that cannot perform well live, but over produces their recordings, tricking you to think they are capable of such lavish performances, only to totally fail live.

 

*edit, especially when it comes to guitar solos

what? the eagles were great live!

I like both. I admit some people hype them too much though, and they have some stupid fans.
