jester1470 Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Genesis?Yep, early Genesis has influenced a raft of bands through the years, from all sorts of genre's. Peter Gabriels theatrics mixzed with the style of vocals influenced most fothe prog rock bands that came after them including, Opeth, Spock's Beard, Marillion and Dream Theater to name a few, mix with the the fact that they've also iinfluenced a load of pop bands, people like Duran Duran and much of the 80's music scene hold them up as influences. When you say Genesis everyone thinks of the Phil Collins years but they were a very influential band in the early 70's.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 The Beatles, quite a few good songs but nowhere near as good or influential as they're credited for, what everyone neglects to notice is that there were LOADS of bands like the Beatles around at the time, they were far from revolutionary, I don't think any of the Beatles would profess to being half as influential as they're claimed to be.It's true what Tarantino says though, there are two kinds of people Beatles people and Elvis people, and I'm definitelly an Elvis person. You can tell loads about a person from their answer to that question in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryn Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 How can some of you people chose AC/DC and Metallica as some of the most over rated bands ever?This is true' date=' both [i']legends of their respected fields.It's difficult to say bands are overrated, for example Nirvana - so many people loved them - You can't argue with that. Whatever reason you give to as why a band shouldn't have got so far is kinda invalid to the number of fans they have etc... get me?With the re-occuring Led Zepplin thing, I wouldn't say the band as a whole were overrated but more Jimmy Page. They know when and when not play, but Page - he didn't know how to play!! Heartbreaker solo anyone??? Stariway to heaven??? there were far better guitarists than Page in the 60s and 70s yet 'Stairway...' is consistently quoted as being one of the greatest ever solos.

bryn Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I pretty much agree with what stuart (jester15674?) has been saying - also you reminded me of spocks beard, a band I keep meaning to invest in!I would say Janes Addiction have always been overrated. I liked the live album but the rest is crappy boredom modern rock.And I also stick by Black Sabbath being overrated. With them, fair enough they probably influenced a lot of people back in the day, but too many people in this day who like Sabbath seem oblivious to the fact what sabbath did has been totally raped into something far, hmmm, ummm, more advanced....Saying Queen are overrated is bullshit.

Drew DigiTek Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 yeah I get what your saying.But I mean the rappers that get no credit, fully underground when its all about punch lines and lyrically standing out.I.e Necroill BillSabacWARCLOUDThe ProfessionalCheck out www.necrohiphop.com oh and this site is very sick, stick to the page links on your left and you'll be fine lolBut I complete get what your sayign.

psydoll Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I thought if I mentioned Necro I'd get dissed there strangely.No one else I know rates him at all and most of the reviews I read for his stuff are shite.Ill Bill and Sabac I've heard before but WARCLOUD and The Professional are new ones on me I must admit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew DigiTek Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Warcloud ! Wow amazing lyrics, him and The Professional are LA underground rappers, they rap with Wu-Tang some times so people say they are part of the wu fam but they have no cds in stores.Necro has some nice lyrics but he rated more as a producer because he is a real good producer. ill Bill and Sabac are two of Necros artists under his lable. Both have cd's in stores NOW. 2 of the best white rappers out there.I think i'm going off topic tho !! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
