Most overrated bands

@hifiman5 

singularity? WTF, dude?! 

I’m taking the above post seriously. The singularity is approaching. Most of us will experience it in our lifetime. The purposeful efforts being invested in AI by the likes of Ray Kurzweil and Elon Musk among others speaks to this eventuality.

Once the Singularity is here, how will the man/machine perceive our understanding of aesthetics, whether in music, literature, the visual arts etc.??

Orwell was wrong and Aldous Huxley was right..."It WILL BE a "Brave New World".

I welcome the arrival of singularity, it can't come fast enough. The human race is reaching its sell by date.

But in the meantime I think that whilst Radiohead are a good band - a few good songs (No Surprises, Everything In Its Right Place etc) - their albums are vastly overrated. Kid A is the only one I can bear to listen to right through, and that's because of the muted vocals.

I will change my radio station if I hear....
Nickleback
The Beatles
Radiohead
Kid Rock

DMB is an odd phenomenon. I saw them live. I'd describe their show as "clinical". It's just an on-stage replica of their recorded material, note for note, intonation for intonation. I don't get it. They have a jam band sort of sound, but no jam band stage presence. 

I'd rather dig my ear drums out with dental picks than listen to 5 minutes of that grating, moaning, whining noise that Radiohead makes. How do people sit through 2 hours of that? 

Slightly Stoopid is really good and doesn't stick to just one genre. 

I like strange music and it's hard to get stranger than Tool and Dead Can Dance. DCD is good stuff to evaluate a system with, too. 

<kosst_emojan> The Beatles? 3 different musical phases, early, mid, and late and 4 different vocalists! That's a lot of band to not like. 

I get that pain in my ears every time an Adelle song is played. They were playing one in Asda (Walmart) last year and I would have collapsed if it wasn't for the shopping trolley.
