Granted my knowledge of their catalogue is limited, but Hungry Like the Wolf is such a great song.

We were about to rattle off a dozen hugely popular singers and/or bands we consider somewhere between
overrated and outright awful, but there are already more than enough people here who think we're idiots.

Tried to listen to some country music a handful of times and it never gets any better.

U2 - stinks
Eric Clapton - blech
Grateful Dead - horrible
Country music - all sounds the same
Radiohead - overrated

Duran Duran - underrated! Great band.

I’ll go a bit further here: The B-52’s , that first album, that is a KILLER album. “Dance This Mess Around” is a banger.

The music scene post grunge (not that I was “into” grunge that much) took such a nosedive from 1995 to 2002. System of the Down? Linkin Park? Any of that late 90s BS? Un-f’ing-listenable. I was actually listening to a lot of salsa, bachata (just becoming BIG in NYC after being relegated to Sunday morning’s from 7am-9am on 97.9 FM) and cumbia from 95-02 because music really just died.

It really wasn’t until Yeah Yeah Yeahs , The Strokes, TV on the Radio, Vampire Weekend and other NYC bands came about in early 2000s that music came alive again. You can say something good about hipsters: their music was really good.
