Oh no you didn't!! But really how are they o/r'd? No one talks about them and only people I know then even know who they are know them from "What I got" or "Santaria" which are two of they're worst songs IMO, that hardly show they're "different" side. They're music is like none other. Bands like ReelbigFish, 3311 tried to copy their style, but it didn't work.
As far as Nickelback and Linkin Park, you have to listen to all of their music, not just the radio. Linkin Park live sounds just as good as their cd. They have true talent. Chester has an awesome voice and their DJ is off the hook.
Nickelback - honestly, if this was about 3 months ago, I would agree, they fuckin' suck...way over rated...they still are a little bit, for the amount of good songs they have on thier cds. That new "Photograph" and "Savin' Me" crap is just that, CRAP. You have to actually listen to their cd's and skip through the slow, despressing bullshit to find really good songs. "Follow you home" and "rockstar" on their new cd are fuckin' awesome. "where do I hide" and "never again" were good ones from Silver Side up.
Metallica is way over rated. Their shit all sounds the same, albeit a few songs. Yeah they are def. differnent. When one of their songs comes on the radio, you know it's them, but a lot of their stuff sounds the same. I likemetallica to a point, but definately would say they are over rated because they have no change.
We could sit here an and argue all day long about who we think is over rated because we all have different tastes.
Kiss, Zep. Aerosmith...def. not over rated.
The Rolling Stones need to DIE!
