So many people posting this "Overrated something" comments... I like many many albums, and really don't care about wether the world has recognize that album to be the ultimate poetic expression of a genre or not. If by overrated you mean that you're talking about a record you think is great and we should all pay tribute to... I just don't see it. Excuse me if I sound a little bit agressive; but this is just the kind of empirical line of thought that makes evryone believe that the world should be meassured according to just one set of values. ------------- ĦBeware of the Bee! |

I thought overrated meant that too many people thought it was a brilliant album when in fact its not that good!

My mistake, but it works both ways. To ask if something is under/over rated means that there is a way to fnid out about it. Like a goo/bad subatomic music meassurement device. I mean, we are talking about a very subjective phenomenon (music). ------------- ĦBeware of the Bee! |

Overrated, underrated, polls pitting Robert Fripp against every other
guitarist possible, often music is treated here like the equivalent of Olympic sports, or even its worse, Big-Time Wrestling. Refreshing would be more discussion of musical content and style, and new possibilities. Art is not a competitive sport, there's really no "best" after a certain level of artistic accomplishment, just varying strengths that compliment each other quite well. |

I agree with the previous post. The way to look at music has much more to do with contents. This under / over rated thing is very vague. ------------- ĦBeware of the Bee! |

At the end music is art and every aspect of art is resumed into one word: SUBJECTIVE, and that's the true essence of it, we cannot pretend other people has the same tastes that we have, however i think this site has been made for that purpose, encouraging people to hear prog and the already prog-fan comment about his likes and dislikes. Eventually we are growing up and within the years we learn to listen a lot more styles of music, and respect them, and that kind of respect must be present for the overrated or underrated ideas from anyone. peace ------------- between darkness and light |

| I don't think any prog can be overrated.Its rated correctly.If you don't like some of it that is purely personal taste.ie I don't think that Dark Side Of The Moon,Images and Words,Script For A Jesters Tear,Lamb Lies Down On Broadway or In A Glass House are worthy of all the acolades thrown at them BUT that is because I don't appreciate them NOT because they are overrated.Suggesting anything in prog is overrated is a way of saying I don't like it personally but trying to look clever in saying it. |
