No, Sgt. Pepper's is.

Spot on! Abbey Road is definitely the best Beatles album although I'm not a big fan of the band.

Definitely one of them. Bruce in general is just Bob Seger with a lot less soul

Nah, it's slightly overrated but still full of great songs and it's not hard to see why it was/is so popular.

Pic related is my pick

/mu/ gets very defensive about Bowie and The Velvet Underground for whatever reason but I agree with you.
>>
>>74102184
I use to agree Ziggy is overrated, but it's such a fun album that I can't hate it. I still rarely listen to it and prefer most Bowie's other albums.

Never implied they did, just that /mu/ gets very defensive about the two artists/bands.

ONLY CORRECT ANSWER ITT: all of them

>>74102059
This album is really good, but anyone who can't appreciate lyrics...or isn't really looking for them in this, because it sounds very Arena rock, is going to miss the point of this album.

Most overrated is probably anything by U2.

Nah, this didn't fare as well as his previous work critically speaking. It has great singles, which is why it sold so much.

It definitely influenced Lorde on her new album.

was amazing how Americans missed the point of Born In The USA, but the rest of the world understood.

It's a shitty 80s pop album with a few solid singles. Even the songs that are passable are ruined by the godawful and dated as fuck production and synths.

They're certainly not the most competent musicians, but they pioneered subgenres of music with that and their later albums.

>>74105692
That album is too important to be considered overrated.

Also it's the most overplayed as well.
I can't seem to escape "the chain".

Honestly, I agree. It's not a masterpiece. It's just a decent album.

It wouldn't say any of these albums posted here are overrated, I love them all.

But I have to say that as far as classic rock goes Queen has never done anything for me, and some of their songs are even literally repulsive to me. And this is coming from someone who has been listening to the genre every day all my life.

Just a couple of weeks ago I was in the middle of a road trip with my pleb friends when Bohemian Rhapsody came on from the radio, what ensued was so horrible I'm lucky I didn't get a stroke.
>>
>>74108284
It's the production man their popular songs sound bad and dated thanks to it.
>>
>>74108284
Queen is fucking garbage.
>>
>>74108284
>what ensued was so horrible I'm lucky I didn't get a stroke.
You mean your friends had fun while you sat there like an autist?
>>
>>74108384
I'll be honest here, people go crazy hearing that song; I used to be alright with the song until it came on the radio while I was in the car with a friend, and he insisted on me doing the falsetto vocals during the 'MAGNIFICO' part. Then I just put in 'Remain in Light', an album he was unfamiliar with, so he would shut up
>>
>>74108423
Funny how people take a comic relief song like Bohemian Rhapsody so seriously.
>>
>>74108469
It was probably more the irritation of somebody going so crazed over what I think is an okay song
>>
>>74108423
Dude you sound like such a little internet pussy
>>
>>74108384
I mean the song is god awful so he's not wrong
It's probably the only song that I don't think I can ever let myself hear ever again. It's so overplayed and so annoying. And what makes it worse is I know every fucking word to it. Queen has some ok and a good tune or two, but Bohemian Rhapsody is the most vomit inducing song I've ever heard.

Lyrically it's a solid album, hometown stories and morality tales. Musically it sucks, same four bars over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. No wonder Max had a solo at the end of the title track, he probably was going out of his mind by that point.
