    An album that I find thoroughly overrated is Nevermind. I seriously don’t understand the “It changed the landscape of music”. It’s a good record. But, to me, it’s nothing to write home about. I guess good enough to leave a comment about.😆

      Im not sure where i fall, i cna see how Nevermind is overrated but i also see how it was groundbreaking. I think its the same thing with the beatles really, on the surface nothing really special but they just happened to be first in the mainstream and i think thats where Nevermind falls too. It could just as eaily been something else but it was just first. I love Nevermind but im sure my opinion is a little clouded by nostalgia as well. I definitely get why people think that though for sure.

      @@iantrumbo6152 as someone who was listening to punk/alt rock or whatever you want to call it, prior to Nevermind, it didn’t seem that revolutionary at all. It was good. But, to me, not what it was made out to me. I personally think it was a perfect example of media (particularly MTV at the time) blowing things up.

    At the end of the day, it's all down to personal taste, no one is right and no one is wrong, for example, I've got very few of what would be considered "The Top 100 of all time" purely because I'm not interested in most "mainstream" music, that's just me, nothing wrong with any of the albums, just not my taste. Great episode guys, good work.

    I just don't get Ok Computer or Pinkerton. I have tried hard over the years to like them but except for a couple songs on Ok the albums just bore me. I never thought much of the Sheryl Crowe album, but listening to it recently I can see why it was highly rated. Not a bad song on the album.

    Glad you mentioned L7. I was seeing a lot of shows in LA in the late '80s/early '90s (Dinosaur Jr., Fugazi, Jane's Addiction, Bob Mould/Sugar, the Muffs and lots of Seattle bands come to mind) and saw L7 and Hole multiple times. I liked 'em both, but L7 made consistently better music (I remember Kurt Cobain wearing an L7 t-shirt on stage and in interviews.) Every Hole album may as well be by a different band, even though Courtney Love is a constant: "Pretty On the Inside" is a rough, raw punkish, almost like female Black Flag. "Live Through This" is a powerhouse grunge/pop record (obviously, the songs are more melodic and dynamic, nothing like "Pretty on the Inside," and heavily influenced by Nirvana and The Pixies). "Celebrity Skin" was a mainstream "alternative pop" record, closer to Smashing Pumpkins. So, yeah, they're all totally different, musically -- but if you don't like Courtney Love, you won't like any of 'em!
    To me, Korn is like its namesake. It passes right through you, lumpy and indigestible.

    Add me to the OK computer adoration, shifted the tone of much in their catalog. no album had a feeling of such isolation in the presence of modern technology in the 90s. I initially didn’t care for the album but over time grew heavily on me.

  • @donello430
    @donello430 6 месяцев назад +2

    Totally agree on 'OK Computer'. Praised as revolutionary, game changer, etc. If you were listening to the cutting edge of indie, dance, electronic and shoegaze in the early 90s, there was NOTHING that remarkable about it in comparison. Major influences for them were Aphex Twin and Joy Division, if you were familiar with those artists, which most people weren't at the time, you'd know Radiohead weren't doing anything mind-blowing. (keep in mind, it's good, we're just talking 'overrated')

    • @TheVinylDen
      @TheVinylDen  6 месяцев назад +1

      First off i dont think Nick is a michigan fan but you would have to ask him, I on the other hand am not really a sports fan at all if you have seen me donning any UofM stuff its because i work for them and there is wardrobe crossover. As far as Ok Computer i go back and forth because arguably Kid A is a better album but Nicks argument has some merrit in the realm of 90s albums. Just have to remember we all have our opinions right or wrong. Thanks for watching.

    I wouldn't say OK Computer is overrated. Radiohead has been the best band for almost 30 years (since 1995 The Bends). I think most fans would pick OK Computer as their favorite, just like most would pick Dark Side of the Moon. But I prefer In Rainbows and Kid A as well as Animals and Wish You Were Here.

    40 Oz To Freedom overrated? WOW! It's easily Sublime's best album! It's more consistent than the self-titled one. It's SO diverse! Probably my favorite album EVER!
    Pinkerton? WOW! Pinkerton is arguably Weezer's best album. Fans either have it or Blue #1. I have Pinkerton, but it's a razor thin margin either way.
    Makes me wonder just what kinda music y'all actually like, lol!

    Bush, Silver Chair, Springsteen, Mellencamp, Nirvana, Korn and almost anything 90s. Full of overrated albums.
    A lot of great stuff from that decade as well. I prefer the metal of the 90s but really like a lot of albums by bands like Paw, Dig, Belly, Jane's addiction, Johnny Cash, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Primus, etc... Anyway, thanks for the vid.

Also i dont feel it was a Radiohead bash i ahppen to like Radiohead and i think Ok Computer is a great album but i think nicks opinion is that its not the masterpiece some think it is kind of on the same lines i dont think Dark Side Of The Moon is all people make it out to be.
