Okay I know this isn't really a "rant" thread but I swear a lot of you have to check your heads? I know you are wondering what overrated really is but I think that means are considered better in any such manner than what they really are. Well whoever the hell said Jimi Hendrix is overrated...know your history. People...I'm not that old (born in 80's) but you should know about how things were going. Jimi Hendrix brought a new sound with an electric guitar that kicks most modern day guitarists asses. Secondly, I don't particularily like The Beatles either but I don't deny their influence either. Think of it this way, how many Beatles songs have you heard in just regular pop culture occurences...and the fact that we are still talking about them and how the whole damn world mourned when John Lennon died...that to me is not overrated. Third...Michael Jackson. I agree he is a freak now. But in his heyday he was the goddamn king of pop. Besides the fact that he made more money in one album than most bands can dream about...he really did innovate music videos and brought pop music ideas and sounds.

Sorry...I'm so damn tired and pissed for some reason so I had to vent. As I said before I was born in the 80's so therefore I don't think you can really say how much cultural influence bands have had but from what I've heard from peers and "elders"....believe me...bands like The Beatles were and still are a phenomenon that rocked many a persons balls!!!

Do agree with bob about 50 cent though. People are hailing him as the next coming of rap christ but from what I've heard he is hardly rapping.
