Who is more overated???

[gherman]

Oasis or Niravana?

I'm sorry but both of these bands are so bloated I can't stand it. If you like them... cool, but who is more overated?

 

[bono_man2002]

Nirvana.

Well, both bands are overrated to a point, I just don't think Nirvana would be as popular today if they're singer was still alive.

In the total opposite they could have gone on to bigger and better things.

 

[intedomine]

Nirvana, but I appreciate both bands, and absolutely adore Oasis.

Nevermind is an amazing album though. Not quite as good as (What's The Story) Morning Glory.

If anything, Oasis is way underated, while Nirvana's legend has been exaggerated somewhat and strengthened by the tragic circumstances surrounding Kurt Cobain.

 

[Lila64]

Nirvana

 

[Saracene]

Nirvana, no question. Oasis, especially the first two albums, are overrated as well but not anywhere near the extent of Nirvana. Plus Nirvana is overrated way more widely than Oasis; unless I'm wrong I don't think that Oasis gets that much adulation in US, for instance.

 

[Axver]

I don't find Oasis annoying, and most people generally acknowledge they weren't the most talented or original musicians on the planet.

However, most of what Nirvana made was complete junk and people seem to constantly praise them as a good band and somehow important. They're over-rated by a mile.

 

[indra]

Nirvana.

I'm not particularly fond of either but Nirvana is more highly rated than Oasis in the first place so they get this honour.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Nirvana....

Don't get me wrong, Kurt was a beautiful man and 'Nevermind' is something of a masterpiece but come on....

Definitely Maybe is in my top 5 all time favorite LP's and Whats the Story is nearly its equal....

Also Noel and Liam are two of the biggest badasses in modern popular culture...

O-
A-
SIS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[If you shout...]

Two shit bands, yeah, but Nirvana is far more overrated. Far, far, far more overrated. No contest, here, even if you're a fan of either or both of the bands.

 

[Aygo]

Nirvana.
First, because the grunge scene is one of the most overrated things in music (not saying it's bad, attention...). Secondly, because Nirvana are an iconic product created after Kurt's death. It's nothing special.

 

[martha]

Nirvana

 

[Canadiens1131]

Nirvana

At least Oasis is semi-listenable.

 

[LJT]

Nirvana easily, decent enough band, but the worship they get is unbearable at times....and I don't think Oasis are overrated in anywhere but England.

 

[annie_vox]

Just to be different.......

Nirvana for sure I never understood the fascination some people have about that band...
And like some people already said, Oasis are not that popular out of England, and I don't think they're popular at all out of Europe...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

in america?

nirvana by a land slide.

people stopped giving a shit about oasis 10 years ago.

can't speak about the rest of the world.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I think they both are, to be honest, but yet I still listen to them both every once in a great while.

I think Nirvana would have eventually fizzled out, maybe by '97. I don't think they'd be together now had Cobain lived.

 

[cdisantis83]

I love Oasis, but I would still say that they are highly overrated, especially by certain British magazines. I have read that Definitely Maybe frequently tops "best ever albums" lists in England, which seems ludicrous to me.

 

[vaz02]

Niravana

However Oasis are over rated by a ocean mile.

 

[U2One]

Easy. Nirvana

Oasis is underrated. Especially here in America. Actually, I'd say only in America, cause they're pretty massive in the rest of the world, not just Europe. I think Noel Gallagher is the most underrated songwriter. I don't care if people think that he just rips off other songs, that man can write some mega tunes....

 

[LemonMelon]

Nirvana. No one thinks positively of any Oasis albums besides Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory, neither of which I consider overrated.

 

[U2Girl416]

I think I would say Nirvana. I rarely listen to them and only have a little of their music on my iPod. I've seen Oasis live a few times and I really have enjoyed them. However, when I've listened to their music outside of seeing them in concert, I usually just play the hits.

 

[Nube Gris]

Nirvana is the most overated artist in music history
Cobain is the most overated musician in music history; and i saw him at # 7 in Q's 100 best singers? What is happening here?
Who is behind all this swindle?

Oasis is not overated anywhere but in England.
They were a good band. Thats the best they were, nothing incredible though

 

[BoMac]

Nirvana.

I enjoy Oasis. Their music may not be the most original but I think it's still good. I love Don't Believe the Truth and What's the Story and I think some of their B-sides are better than many bands' A material.

 

[BVS]

Oasis.

I like them, but at least Nirvana did something to the musical landscape at the time.

 

[gherman]

Oasis.

I like them, but at least Nirvana did something to the musical landscape at the time.

I knew someone would eventually vote for Oasis

Thank you

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

if we're talking strictly america, doesn't a band have to be relevant to be over-rated?

thus then, how is oasis in this conversation?

 

[The OOTS]

Nirvana killed cheesy 80s hair band metal and their ballads that were running rampant on the airwaves.

Just for that, I was thankful.

But yes, they were overrated.

 

[Snowlock]

Far and away Nirvana. They're credited with so much innovation, but they basically just combined the sounds of The Replacements & Husker Du and mainstreamed what'd been going on on the alternative seen for the prior ten years.

They weren't even as instrumental in launching grunge as were Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.

In Utero, their third album, was initially so bad that the band were basically forced by Geffen to remix it.

I mean, Kurt wasn't even the most talented member of the band.

Definately over rated. If Cobain hadn't died, I'm sure they would've faded away by their fourth album.

 

[Aygo]

Oasis.

I like them, but at least Nirvana did something to the musical landscape at the time.

So did Oasis. "British Invasion", have you heard about it? Oasis and Spice Girls were leaders in that concept...

 

[Aygo]

That's it. Nirvana is very overrated all over the world, but Oasis are highly overrated in the UK.
