Otta Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I've siad it before I'll say it again, Bob Dylan is a great great song writer, but his voice makes me want to head but a brick wall until death or brain damage.

MrBen Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 For me it's mainly all of the "artists" who sell millions but write none of their own stuff, don't have a say on who's in their band and who are basically TV/record company puppets.Prime example: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopmusic/10563266/Its-a-joke-that-Sam-Smith-is-the-Sound-of-2014.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49901-most-overrated-bands-artists-thread/page/4/#findComment-788255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

titch juicy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Bob Dylan's voice is (well, was) perfect. It couldn't be improved upon and any other voice singing his songs sounds wrong.In the same way that Lou Reed's, Neil Young's, Wayne Coyne's, Shane MacGowan's, Shaun Ryder's etc etc voices are all perfect.If they could all sing note perfect across 4 octaves their songs would sound horrendous.

El Pibe Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 given that Nickelback are basically the internet's all-purpose whipping boy, they can hardly be described as 'overrated', despite their aforementioned fans who are legion.....as in they are literally demons from hell.

Otta Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 I understand why people slate Nickleback, but they are still one of the most fun (in an overblown spinal tap sense) live acts I've seen.

El Pibe Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm with you there. I was totally smitten with her back in the sugarcubes days. First couple of albums were really special (though haven't stood the test of time so well).But some of her more recent stuff, well, it scares me frankly.This video from a couple of years ago is pretty awesome in the truest sense of the word.

El Pibe Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 That said, she follows her own path, she is always original, her music is usually interesting and challenging (if not always engaging and occasionally terrifying). I won't willingly listen to all her albums, but god damn i'll always give them a chance.
