10 Most Overrated Albums

Tags: 
  • 10. Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
  • There are a couple of really good songs on this album, but the rest of the songs sound the same and are very average to me.
  • 9. Anything by Paul McCartney as a solo artist
  • While John Lennon and George Harrison were great solo artists, I never got that feeling from McCartney.
  • 8. Anything by Bob Dylan
  • His voice sucks, he is an overrated songwriter, Like A Rolling Stone and Blowin In The Wind are his only good song.
  • 7. Ramones by Ramones
  • The Ramones are just an awful band. I mean they suck. They should have never made music.

The Skinny Puppy albums I have listened to

  • Skinny Puppy is a Canadian electro-industrial band led by cEvin Key (Kevin Crompton - producer) and Nivek Ogre (Kevin Ogilvie - singer). Other musicians have been part of the band at some times : Dave “Rave” Ogilvie has been its producer for most of the time, Dwayne Goettel has been the third member until 1995 when he died of an heroin overdose, Wilhelm Schroeder is featured on a few early recordings and later founded Front Line Assembly under the name of Bill Leeb, and finally Mark Walk, who founded ohGr with Nivek Ogre in 2001, joined the band for its return in 2003.
