I wonder if they'll fake this, too.

I have to agree with U2. Now keep in mind I've had the albums and I've seen them live. Personally, U2's best era was the 90s, Achtung Baby and beyond. Once they got embarassed by taking too many chances and releasing a really cool album like POP, they sort of de-evolved into a less earnest version of their 80s selves. They sold themselves out in a sad way. I still don't get the hype of them being the greatest band in the world. Maybe the most captivating, for a time, but now they just bore me.

Nirvana. I like Nirvana here and there. What's overrated isn't their cultural significance, but their artistry. They're simply not that groundbreaking a band. They were the most marketable and commercially appealing of that "sound." Pearl Jam is the greatest grunge era band. Pearl Jam should be remembered as legends, not Nirvana. Nirvana didn't usher in a sound, they were MTV's face for a sound already gaining popularity. If they were simply highly regarded and remembered for being part of a cultural turning point, then no they wouldn't be overrated. But they're treated like gods and Kurt Cobain like some martyr prophet. But again, this is all just my own opinion.

Well, I could be stuck in the D-list myself. But c'mon, you've never heard of Halford?!

Megadeth is little more than a cult thrash band for those of us cool enough to know Mustaine's been making better music than Metallica for years now. I love Megadeth, but they don't have huge sales. Never did. Green Day is one of the top selling rock bands of the past decade or more, so I don't consider them on a B-list of any sort, despite what some of our opinions of them may be.

See, real B-list bands that I enjoy are bands like Deadsy, Emigrate, Fight/Halford/2wo, Lizzy Borden....

I think some of you are confusing A-list with legendary.

I went out drinking last night for the first time in awhile because I've been sick all week. I'm still sick, but it was fun. I also had the intentions of working on a script at the same time. That didn't happen. Tonight my throat feels especially fucked up and I'm back home to watch the Oscars.
