As far as songs that I think are good but aren't nearly as good as they're made out to be:
Genesis - Supper's Ready Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick King Crimson - Larks Tongues In Aspic (Pts 1 and 2) King Crimson - Starless Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Yes - Gates of Delirium Yes - And You And I
As far as songs that are well regarded but I plain dislike:
ELP - Lucky Man King Crimson - everything from "Discipline" Pink Floyd - Echoes (perhaps the worst offender of them all) Yes - Long Distance Runaround

How can something simultaneously be "too happy" yet "soulless"? (Apart from the Teletubbies, that is.)

Interesting. My fave Tull album. Curisouly, do you like Heavy Horses? Minstrel in the Gallery? |
Songs From The Wood is an excellent album...not overrated at all, but Passion Play is definitely overrated.
|
Is it? I don't see it being very "rated". Most people find it boring and a poor man's Thick as a Brick. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't like it much either.
|
Uh..it has 1118 ratings at a 4.02....that's a lot of ratings imho. Many Tull fans claim it as their favorite on previous threads about Tull. |
There's a world outside PA  But it's true it's pretty highly regarded here (nowhere near TAAB that is ranked #2 though), but at the time it was bashed a bit and wasn't a commercial success either unlike it's predecessor. Also in most of the sites of reviews and stuff like that I see online it's considered mediocre.

I love humor too but sadly those humorous ELP songs are just plain bad imho.

I am exactly of the opposite opinion. "Relayer" is the best album Yes ever made. "Close to the Edge" is in my opinion overrated. It is a good album, but not the milestone of prog as which it is celebrated. I wouldn't regard "Relayer" as a milestone either though, just as better as CttE.

Personally I think Interstellar Overdrive is one of the most overrated songs of all time. It feels like ear poison to me.

That said, an overrated prog SONG is perhaps "Shine on your Crazy diamond", although it fits in the album and is a great track, everybody worship this song (at least here in Brazil, among people who dont know prog, but love Pink Floyd) and there's planty of better ones... even from Pink Floyd itself.

While I like most of Jethro Tull's albums I've never been able to get into Aqualung much. I like "Mother Goose", and a couple of other songs, but not the title track or Locomotive Breath. The album is a bit overrated IMHO. |
I agree. Songs from the Wood, Thick as a Brick, Heavy Horses is way better.
