Curious about what bands you think get better reviews than you think they deserve and vice versa.

The Strokes- Their entire discography
>These are just some kids trying to look hip on the art rock scene in my opinion, yes they have talent, but everyone followed the crowd like sheep after a few good reviews and Spin calling them "the coolest band on Earth".

Radiohead could belch the phone book and critics would call it genius. REM and U2 are the same way.

The Strokes have been embraced by Spin Magazine since before their first album even came out. I think there's a bribe there or something. ha ha ha No, I actually like a lot of the music by the Strokes but I cannot hear any of the danm lyrics for the life of me. The boards were waaaaay off kilter when they recorded the vocals, I think.

Radiohead could belch the phone book and critics would call it genius. Haha, completly true. "Radiohead's new record, 'Directory Burpfest', is a brilliant social commentary on how we are all sheep for being listed in the phone book. It is a metaphor for how big brother is watching us and it's genius!" |

I always thought Incubus were underrated by critics.

Coldplay, number one most overrated band in the universe.

U2 is definately overrated as is Outkast. I bought their albums and they weren't very good. The critics didn't rate Outkasts CD very good but that's my favorite CD from them.

Sorry, I like all the bands listed here, and I don't think any of them are overrated...well OK, maybe the Strokes are a little, or at least they were when they first came out, but I still like them.
