Oasis are extremely overrated.
Bastard, take that back.
"who do you think is over-rated" on the internet actually translates too "who in mainstream music don't you like, please tell us, then slate them for no good reason"
If you don't like a band then go start your own.
Other than that, Arguing about music is pointless, that whole TV argument is gash btw. Surley the sign of better music is that it can turn the casual listener into a fan ? feck all this "music theory" bollocks...if it sounds good to people then let it fecking be.

The Offspring
The Smiths
Whining drivel. That Morrissey should give himself a good shake.

Completely agree.
My chemical romance, fall out boy, Panic at the disco or whatever fecking queer name they have is what I regard as emo. I dont care if its technically not emo or whatever, it all sounds like the same little whiney cock-gagging shite to me.
Metallica had a period of brilliance, especially with Master of Puppets, ride the lightning etc, but after the black album, they really went downhill. St Anger really was fecking awful.
I made a thread about this, yet I got crucified for it.
nah, man. Queen 76-81 produced lots of top stuff, with maybe the top 3 rock vocalists of all time leading the way. After that it was a bit more average but still better than 99% of everyone else.
Such as?
I'm afraid I don't follow your logic.
Stereophonics
Ocean Colour Scene
Paul Weller

To be fair none of those bands you listed are Emo, they're all pop and are in the pop charts.
Yeah master of puppets was an awesome album.
Queen are the best band ever. So many of their songs are fantastic, sure enough the ones you mentioned are the best of them, but they've so many other great tunes. I love them
That doesn't really work though does it? Just because a band are in the pop charts does not make them a pop band
They seriously started running out of ideas with their last couple of albums.
Their new song is fecking shite aswell.
Manic Street Preachers - most overrated band of all time, if only because their fans think they're the most underrated band of all time.
Plus my ex was one of their fans.

No-one over the age of 14 ever rated those cnuts.
I musta liked em when I was 15 mind you.
No, but it doesn't make them an "emo" band either.
My Chem and Fall out boy = pop punk bands...My Chem going more along the pomp rock route as of late.
Panic = wierdos who have aspirations of being Sgt Peppers era Beatles.
The Beatles = Emo.
Out of interest, what bands would you classify as emo?
Paramore
Oasis
just joking, don't hang me
Finger 11
Oasis
just joking, don't hang me
Finger 11
urm..
things like
Taking Back Sunday
Armour for sleep
Underoath
30 seconds to mars (even if radio 1 do now have an obsession with them)
The Used (earlier stuff)
36 crazy fists
Funeral For a friend
Sense's Fail
Atreyu
Rise Against
A Day To Remember
etc
I think that does work to be honest.
Some of those bands are not emo.
You really need to take a look at your definition of Emo then because you're way off on most of that list. The fact that you highlight The Used's earlier stuff as emo when their new stuff is an awful lot more emo is also a bit odd. There is a difference between genres like screamo, punk, hardcore, metal, metalcore, post hardcore etc. I also think you are possibly the only person on the planet who would call 36 crazyfists and Rise Against emo. Not too mention Atreyu and Underoath
You reckon. I thought up that list and then looked up emo on wiki. Don't know how correct they are, but all those bands i've listed they have classed as emo.
To me the used latest album sounds really poppy, previous ones were more emo.
Smashed, tell me what bands you think are emo.

I don't know I don't really group bands like a lot of people do. Emo
basically evolved from punk/pop punk with bands like braid and joan of arc in the 90's but if I had to given a modern list then My Chemical Romance, the Used, Saves the Day, Saosin, Something Coorporate, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Bedlight for Blue Eyes, are all good examples of modern day 'emo' bands. I actually went off on one a bit in my previous post and over reacted a little bit. Emo has just become a word used to describe teenagers who dye their hair black and wear copius amounts eye makeup. If you say you like a band most peopel classify as emo you are automatically assumed to be a manic depressant who hates everything and everyone. By todays definition bands like coldplay are emo, yet no one would classify them as that, though I am not sure why as they tick all the boxes. Probably as 'emo' is more about the image than the actual music these days.
Overratedest: The Libertines
Arctic Monkeys are OK but defiantly overrated the amount of hype they get for a extremely average band is unbelievable.
Correct post, except Something Corporate who are in fact a piano rock band and are probably closer to current pop punk than emo.
I know I was debating putting them in to be honest. Ok take them out and replace them with someone like Halifax. There is such a fine line between pop punk and emo though its hard to discern, which is why generally I don't bother trying.
Elvis Costello
Morrissey
horribly overrated
Morrissey
horribly overrated
I agree with all that.
Pop punk, isn't that what Blink 182 and good charlotte are more like though.
Its doesn't really matter, genres are all hypothetical. Its all rock music.
Not really. Pop music is not a genre but a classification of success so by saying something is pop music you're saying it has a mass audience and not that it is a certain style of music.
Only my chemical romance is really emo there. Emo = emotional, I mean most songs contain some emotion...if you mean emo by screeching and talking about dieing alot then its only my chem who fit the bill in you're list.
