Answer 4

Hate to break it to you but the bands that you mentioned as underrated are actually seen by most people as overrated.

I'm a big. I mean BIG Queen fan and I get rilled up every time I hear a song by them. For Zeppelin and Floyd fans it's the same so you can't make  judgments based  only your opinion. Everyone is different and has their own taste.  

Answer 5

I Don`t have a problem with you opinion cause you have the right to your opinion but I Do love Pink Floyd better than i do Led Zepp.

I Think Zeppe is a little overrated  but pink floyd underrated.

I agree with you about The eagles being underrated but then again when The Eagles came out with Disco strangler they lost a lot of fans but i still Love the Old Eagles.

Yes Aerosmith is underrated a little bit.

OK Now i think The Rolling Stones are underrated , Really they are the ones who derserve to be called "The Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll band of all time.

I hope this helps, but just remember it`s all about Taste in music ;)

Answer 6

neither one is my favourite band but both are very big in the music world you have a very hard time to find anyone among their own peers say they are over rated or have them say the others you mention as under rated.

I am a die hard Stone fan and I still understand the two different directions Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin took the music world and what it did for music then and now.

The same as the Beatles and Stones took the music out of America and made it their own, and when on the change the music world forever. The only ones who think they are over rated or under rated are the fans and the fans that think this way don't know or understand what music is all about and where it came from and where it's going too today.

So think your question over and see if  you are ooling at it as a fan or a peer in their music world.

Have a good day. Thanks

Answer 7

You are entitled to enjoy or dislike whatever you want.

Just keep it to your self or someone might come out of your display and kick your ***.

There are bands I don't like, I just listen to the ones I do.

Answer 8

That is your opinion, you are welcome to it.  Pink Floyd has been my favorite band for 25 years and I don't happen to think they are overrated.  To me, the music is always fresh - I hear a little something different with each listen (and yes even after all these years).  Their lyrics are superior and they are great story tellers. They speak to me and I could care less if I'm the only fan on the face of the earth because I listen for ~myself~ and no one else.

Music is art, art is subjective to the individual and you can have your perception and others will have theirs.  There is no right and no wrong.

Answer 9

Zep and Floyd are the two best Bands in Rock History. Fact, case closed.

Lez Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, in Lyricism and Musicianship is

5X Queen

5X The Who

6X The Beatles

10X The Eagles

End of discussion.

Answer 10

I tend to agree with you.  But, it is a matter of personal taste.  

Personally, I never saw the attraction to Led Zeppelin.  I had a friend (a big Zep fan) who saw them live tell me he was very disappointed because Page live was nowhere near as good as Page in studio, leading my friend to conclude that Page used a lot of overdubbing.  Personally, I think Richard Thompson can out-play Jimmy Page in his sleep!  I also never found Plant's "ooh, bay-bee, bay-bee, bay-bee" that enjoyable.  I find that album he did with Alison Krauss last year far more enjoyable and musically adventurous than anything he did with L.Z.

I also never saw the attraction with Pink Floyd, but I never was an "art rock" fan.  It's not that I think every song has to clock in at four minutes or less (Elton John's "Ticking," which is 7 1/2 minutes long, is a personal favorite, as is the Eagles' "The Last Resort," also 7 1/2 mintues long), but when people make a point of deliberately making EVERY FREAKING SONG nine minutes long, there's something skewered.  (How far do you think the Beatles would've gone had every song been as long as "Hey Jude?")

As for the Eagles, I far prefer them because of the variety of music they provide (they were all over the place on "The Long Run," from R&B ["I Can't Tell You Why"] to heavy metal ["Teenage Jail"] to jazzy laments ["The Sad Cafe"]).  However, I don't think you can make a legitimate argument for them being "underated" when they have the distinction of having the biggest-selling album in history ("Their Greatest Hits, 1971-1975," which has sold 29 million copies.  (They also have the 17th biggest-selling album of all-time, "Hotel California.")

I also don't think you can make an argument about the Stones, Queen, or Aerosmith being "underated" because they're both in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as are the Eagles).

Again, it is a matter of personal choice.  Although I personally agree with you, I'm sure the fans of Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd cannot understand anyone not liking them anymore than I cannot understand why everyone doesn't own John Hiatt's "Bring the Family" album.  But that's what makes us great -- our uniqueness.

Answer 11

My main issue with this question? I'm a HUGE Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin fan...but I'm also a HUGE fan of Queen, Aerosmith and Rolling Stones (not so much the eagles)

I can't explain why any of them are better. They're not. They're all different with their own styles. Why should one be classified as better when each individual music listener will like or hate them for their own reasons!  

Answer 12

Lol...you're using the first 'Elf' album as an avatar, and you're calling two of the most iconic rock bands in rock and roll history "overrated"?

Have fun listening to 'Hoochie Koochie Lady' and 'Dixie Lee Junction'!

You're a pretty funny guy!

Answer 13

all i have to say is....WTF!?!?!?!?!?

Answer 14

I'm starting to think that any band older than 20 years is a target for getting called "overrated"....

Answer 15

the eagles Rolling stones and Queen and Aerosmith never tried to undershadow them but ZEP  freakin rocked hunny

actually have to edit with Gorgon now, good analysis: That is your opinion, you are welcome to it.

Answer 16

I don't think they're overrated... but I suppose it would look that way from someone who doesn't like them.

Answer 17

Why does it have to be a competition? I know you mean well, but from my point of view, it's all good.

Sure there are some bands that I favor, and some that I don't care for, but if I don't like them I just change the station, and if I do like them I turn it up.

Btw, Pink Floyd is my favorite band, and zep is probably my #2. All the others you listed are great, and I always turn it up for them too.

Answer 18

the thing is the bands you named are just as popular save maybe the Eagles. The Stones are very famous and well loved, they are consider the anti Beatles as far as the British invasion goes because they wrote more sexual songs but they are very equally famous. Also, I don't know anyone who isn't familiar with at least three queen songs, people may not get as in depth with them but they know the name. The same goes for Aerosmith because they spanned generations like, The Stones did so they affected a lot of people. Also, people tend to dislike bands just for their popularity and in this case I don't feel it's justified. Personally, I love Floyd and Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin being my favorite and I think that your question is all a matter of opinion. You may think Led Zeppelin is overrated but I thing they were revolutionary geniuses. Quite a bit of a difference.  

Answer 19

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, no matter how wrong it is........

The arguement for Led Zep v. Eagles depends on what kind of music you like.  If you are alive and work hard and play hard, then you realize Zeppelin cannot ever be overrated.  If you are a submissive wuss, then you like the wimpy c**p the Eagles spew.

Answer 20

Well its already been said that you have the right to your own opinion, but come on, Zeppelin ,  and Pink Floyd? they are legends and still make music( well not zep.) but really , the eagles are a good band as well as queen and aerosmith(older stuff) but for me i cant stand the rolling stones, i think they are one of the most over-ratted bands of all times, they had a few songs that i like but for me, they cant sing worth a d**n now, and not well in the past... but that's my opinion,,, that's what is so great about music You get to pick what you like and don't like..so rock on
