> The two biggest bands in rock music arctic monkeys and tame impala

L O fucking L

While we're on the topic of overrated, Josh Homme is possibly the poster child.

Grateful Dead and Gizzard both draw from a lot of styles and write complex music, which is not always palatable to general listeners, but tends to actually be appreciated by the “musically literate.” I would contrast that to queens of the Stone Age and stoner rock bands that are basically pentatonic riff droning. I genuinely like QOTSA but would not use them as a pedestal for proving your awesome musical literacy while bashing either of these bands.

…lost me with King Giz and overrated in the same sentence…

Lol and what are Queens of the Stone Age famous for? Sheesh talk about a shitty band. I can assure you nobody give a shit about their song writing either. And by your logic, Creed is a better band than Queens of the Stone Age because they’ve sold more records and gone multi-platinum more.

The two biggest bands in rock music arctic monkeys and tame impala are admitted huge fans and also admittedly takes huge influence from queens. Just by that their influence would continue to be diffused through others. The first couple sentences say I don’t think they are bad, so you’re not just musically illiterate you’re actually unable to read??

Yea if you’re a great songwriter you’re kinda known for the songs not cheap gimmicks like releasing a ton of albums in styles you can’t master. What are the Grateful Dead famous for? Their touring hahaha the most celebrated versions of their songs are extended live jams. No one gives a shit about their song writing, do they even have an album that went multi platinum? Pretty hilarious considering their heyday was when people actually bought records

I'm tired of seeing mugs like you whinge about bands you don't like

You're a moron, but at least you picked a perfect username. I will give you that.

I just said "I'm not a big King Gizz fan" (though they are 1000x better than QOTSA), but for some reason they are my "saviors". Grow up kid. You can just not like bands. It's fine. I don't go starting threads about how bad QOTSA is. I just don't listen to them. That's what adults do. Listen to what you like and don't pay attention to stuff you don't. You'll get it one day.

Grinch

Hahaha there’s an entire ecosystem of bands that ape qotsa. Dude talking about bubbles get the fat outta your ears and try listening. https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/queens-of-the-stone-age:-greatest-rock-band-alive/8734806 took me all of one minute to discover your saviors are fans wow

Not great song writers? Very little to offer? You may not like their music (which is fine) but to say either groups, especially the Dead, don’t have great song writers is just ignorant. What a moronic take

King Gizz has 25 albums, many of which are of varying genres and styles. If you hate every single one of them, I think that says more about you than them

> Par for the course for king gizzard fans

See, here's your issue. You're assuming that the people in here are fans of them and not people just laughing at some kid getting fussy over a band they don't like.

You're insane if you honestly think any band playing hard rock alternative music is influenced by QOTSA. You need to get out of your little bubble and learn more about music.

I'm sure he hates Phish too

Pretty apparent they are influenced by qotsa as essentially any band doing hard rock alt whatever or anything adjacent to that in modern times are. You don’t have to like them, but you’re showing your ass and proving my point about lacking historical contexts and just being musically illiterate.

I get that, but with Gizz it can be hard because their catalogue is so dense ya know? I definitely think that people like to jump to bold claims because it's easy and feels validating to one's identity, I'm certainly guilty of that. I've made many bold claims about the band in question myself. I think it's hard to contain a passion for Gizz because they can introduce you to genres in a way that's more approachable and they're doing things on their terms. It's very inspiring. But I understand how, if that doesn't resonate with you, it could be aggravating to hear about them constantly

Yea I wasn’t clear my b, I didn’t mean musically at all. I think the Grateful Dead similar to king gizzard have very little to offer. No seminal albums, not great song writers, but with the caveat I can accept that the Grateful Dead are very technically proficient especially in a rock context.

I'm not defending King Gizz. I'm just saying the band you are obsessed with is awful, so why would anyone care aobut what you have to say about the bands they like?

“Aren’t afraid to change directions” what they do is what every other fast food company did with Wendy’s 4 for four, they simply copied and mimicked them they’re a cheap gimmick, hacks

As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or biases. However, some people might feel that King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are overrated because they do not appreciate their musical style, which is a blend of various genres including psychedelic rock, heavy metal, and progressive rock. Others might feel that their extensive discography and the frequent releases of albums make it difficult for them to keep up and fully appreciate their music. Ultimately, opinions on music are subjective and can vary greatly from person to person.
