For me, if I ask for an unpopular opinion and you say something about pineapple on pizza I’m going to assume you have no personality.

    I think the dispute is over what defines overrated. I think they can be aptly called overated if you are looking at the technical aspects of the actual music they wrote.

    But if we’re defining it by influence on a genre or era of music then it would be hard to make the same claim.

      By no metric can the amount of classic albums they put out in a 5 year span be considered overrated.

        Yes, but that is again another metric by which to judge. The amount of albums does not affect the technical complexity of the music. And I am by no means trying to claim that music needs to be technically advanced to be good, it’s just another way in which an individual could possibly be judging if something is or isn’t overated. The quality of the music itself is always going to be subjective, while the cultural impact of the music is not. So I can see both sides of the argument.
