People still care about Pitchfork? How long have I been under this rock? Do we need air to live? Should I grow a bigger penis? Does the internet have cancer? Why did I just kill my brother? Who the fuck keeps asking these questions?

All albums are overrated, in my opinion. If they don't place exactly on the spot I have them on my chart, then they're overrated, unless they place far below it (e.g. OG: Original Gangsta, Bang bang, Source Tags and codes, and etc.), then they are underrated, but then I have those albums which are fairly close (e.g Moon and Antarctica, Remain in light, In the court of king crimson, and etc.) to which people typically slate them to be and I think that they're fine as far as being overrated and underrated goes.

So overall, almost everything is overrated or underrated, but a few aren't

anything that p4k gives a 10 to is not underrated

Well, both are in my top 20, so I obviously like them. I find Nevermind to be a much more enjoyable album to listen to.

I can respect that, but you gotta admit OKC is a more "technically oriented" album

Personally, I find OKC to be fucking amazing, the techniques they used in the making of that album boggle my mind today. It's an incredibly complex masterpiece IMO. Nevermind on the other hand, is just striaghtforward guitar rock(although it's still awesome and on my chart). AS for the 2nd part of your statement, that all comes down to preference, although I don't think I've ever heard it called "unquestionably the best album ever"

Well, both are in my top 20, so I obviously like them. I find Nevermind to be a much more enjoyable album to listen to.

Have you ever thought that maybe a bunch people who's favorite is OKC just happen to join the site at around the same time? Not everything has to be a conspiracy theory.

I never said it was a conspiracy theory. And I never said every user did it. Just a wide variety of the people who fall under the category: "newbies who just throw in a chart and possibly leave this site after joining for good a couple weeks." Some may actually like Radiohead. But I've dealt with these kind of people before.

On this website, a lot of the newbies that have re ently made their charts put Radiohead in the top 20 and fill the rest with a bunch of obscure albums. OK Computers not overrated. It just gets points it doesn't deserve due to timid new users willing to put Radiohead on their charts so they can feel normal in the website where they never have any communication with people in the forums. Mzny newbie charts will have OK Computer in the top 3.

OK Computer should be number 1 tbh. Nevermind is better than it, and people overrate Radiohead a lot more than Nirvana. I like OK Computer, but I don't like how it's become this untouchable masterpiece that is unquestionably the best album ever, which just isn't true.

The Coldplay one is iffy, because as you said it's not really rated that highly. The Libertines album is incredibly overrated imo, especially by British publications. I agree about Oasis being overrated. But I would disagree with the other ones not being overrated. The way I see it, albums can be good and still be overrated. Any album that is regularly ranked among the best of all time is bound to be overrated.

Well I have most of the others on my chart, so...

All of them except Oasis and Coldplay, and I wouldn't even call the Coldplay one overrated, as in I don't know anybody who thinks it's the best Coldplay album(as discussed earlier in this thread). And I haven't heard that Libertines album so I can't speak for that one either way.

Does that mean that if a piece of art (music/film/painting) is commonly accepted by the masses, both educated and uneducated, to be truly worthy of adulation or praise due to meriticulous endeavour on the part of the artist or unrivalled beauty/power (Pet Sounds has both, by the way), it is 'over-rated'?

Nevermind is a 4 star album. The major flaw is that many tunes are decent, but a couple are crap. But the production value fixes all that. That's why it's currently my number 23.

But it's not a top 10 album. It's definitely one of the most beloved, but it's an 8.5.

It's at 70 on my chart, so basiclly I think that there at 69 albums better than it

I'm not the biggest fan of Nirvana in the world, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that their overrated. Kurt and Grohl obviously had loads of talent, this list is clearly shit.

Ironically enough, and in spite of my comments posted almost in sync with yours, I would suggest that the Pistols album is over-rated musically. As a statement and touchstone of the English c.'77 punk movement, perhaps not, but as a musical document, it pales in comparison to the Ramones' debut, the Buzzcocks' Spiral Scratch EP (more punk than the Pistols in terms of musicality and what it represents - have you ever heard Boredom?) and Lydon's early exploits with PiL, especially Metal Box.

Hmm, I find it hard to disagree with you when you put it like that and Now that I think about it the main reason why The Sex Pistols album is so popular is because that they were the band that kick started British Punk.

I gave some of PiL's music a listen a while back and I really didn't like it.

I think the list is pretty good, tbh. Other than The Queen is Dead, I would agree that they are all overrated.
