My response to the haters of Sgt Pepper’s: Ok, you try creating an album of that much depth and soundscape. Oh, oh, oh, wait… and do it on a four track. That’s what blows my mind about that record. Great video Glen!
I agree, BigSky...Odyssey and Oracle is an exquisite listen. A Rock fan may not like it, but they have to respect it. Underrated, if anything...it doesn't need 'hits.' It's a lovely concept album.I wouldn't say ANY Doors record is overrated, save SOFT PARADE...I prefer LOVE'S 'De Capo' to 'Forever Changes' (which I also dig). The only time I got testy was when Glen said "there are only three good songs" on GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD. C'mon, man! I first heard the album when it was released. I was ten, and loved nearly every song then. Still do now. To each their own...
I’m with you on The Wall. I really respect it but I don’t go back to the whole thing. Just select songs like you were saying. I really like Forever Changes & Odessey + Oracle but also not enough to fight someone over them haha.
Always a hot topic! the underrated/overrated conversations are always.. complex. You can love an album to death, and admit that it's still overrated. You can hate an album but also objectively admit that it might be underrated. I try to stay objective and not make a ton of judgments on records/genres/artists that I'm not as keen or familiar with. If I hate Jazz, I'm probably not in a place to say that Kind of Blue is overrated OR underrated. If I find most double albums to be difficult to listen all the way through to, then I'm not sure I'm the best person to make a comment on whether a double album is underrated or overrated. Sgt Pepper can be the greatest album ever made... and still be overrated... and underrated! Anyway, hope this video blows up for you Glen like the previous one did... see you in a few hours!
If albums have too many weak tracks I extract the good ones and burn them to a cd-r and now I have a really strong compilation. Sgt. Pepper is a great landmark album and Brothers in Arms is just a great album from beginning to end.
Great idea for a video Glen. To me the two most overrated albums ever would be "The Wall"" and "Pet Sounds". You should do an overrated bands, or solo artists, video.
There’s a good reason why just about everybody bought Brothers in Arms Glen, it’s great! Sgt Pepper overrated? C’mon! That said, I have to say The Wall IS overrated, so I agree with you on that one as well. Great video brother! ❤❤❤
Hi Glen!! this is always a hot and controvertial topic and it's all in the eye of the beholder..... from the ones you showed i have only listen to "Brothers....", "The Wall" and "The Doors". I think you have a point with PF's album, i think it's kind of overrated and to long, i'm ok with the Doors and still like Dire Straits too. Btw have read some overrated commets about "Pet Sounds". cheers
Funny you showed brother in arms cause im gonna play that here shortly. My friend doesnt like within you without you but he still loves the album. I think "What's Going on" it just sounds good thats about it. Im not a fan of that Genesis album either.
Great video @GlenKellawayFromTheBasement I feel what is overrated is tough to determine when music is so subjective. In regards to Sgt. Pepper's I feel those who wave the flag that it is the greatest album of all time is where it gets the overrated label. As a younger person, who could never imagine dropping the needle when Sgt. Pepper's first was released, I think that is why younger people like myself aren't enamored with this album. I feel when Rolling Stone magazine dropped Sgt. Pepper's to I think No. 28 when it was I believe chosen the greatest album, right or wrong on how you feel about Rolling Stone, shows how those tones are toward it. Personally I don't even have Sgt. Pepper's in the top half of The Beatles catalog. An album I find extremely overrated is Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bullocks album, it is in a similar vein as Sgt. Peppers because it was so vastly different and some say "created a scene." I always felt the scene was there and the Pistols were just fashion models in fetish wear for Malcolm McLaren to get off on. When you talk punk scene, I am not putting that album up there with the MC5, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Clash, Ramones, X, early Elvis Costello, Talking Heads etc. I love Miles Davis, I own almost his entire catalog, but I feel a lot of newbies place, and I love this album, Bitches Brew way too high. Even amongst Miles' Electric period, I feel it is the worst album of the period. I get it is a five-star record, but I feel albums like In A Silent Way, Jack Johnson, On The Corner were stronger albums. Radiohead OK Computer is up there for me as overrated, much like I said about Bitches Brew, OK Computer is a five-star opus but I feel The Bends and Kid A are five-star opuses as well. Lastly I agree Pink Floyd The Wall is overrated, I think for me the mythology as a kid and a in my formative years of The Wall made it mythical, as I got into my 30's and my musical pallet is more refined, I find Animals, Wish You Were Here better Floyd albums. I also feel the journey of Tommy and Quadrophenia are way better operas than The Wall.
I agree with What's Going On and Yellow Brick Road. I like them but not as much as a lot of people seem to. Haven't heard Brothers In Arms, but that's because I KNOW I won't like it. Ha
The Wall is an absolute masterpiece. It is a pure sonic odyssey from start to finish. It contains musical innovation, experimentation, and theatrical folie in a purely British way that, no surprises, a lot of people, especially Americans, just don’t understand. The Wall is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Just played Brothers in Arms yesterday. The drumbeat in Money For Nothing is annoying as heck in that monotonous 80s kind of way. But Knopfler's guitar playing is always great. The Wall is good but definitely over-rated, i.m.o. What's Going On is NOT over-rated. No way, no how. The album flows from start to finish and there's no filler to be found. Check out the Dirty Dozen Brass Band's cover of the album. It's also great. Lamb Lies Down is great, but possibly over-rated. My picks for most over-rated: Aja Zeppelin 4 Exile On Main Street Thriller Boston Nevermind Purple Rain Appetite For Destruction Supernatural (sorry Carlos, you're one of my favorites but that album blows, with the exception of a few songs) Aja (it's so over-rated that I had to list it twice 😂)
As a massive Beatles fan I like sgt peppers but I don’t think it’s their best album. Sorry Glen. However regarding the wall I actually think it’s their best album. As you frequently say it’s all about opinions. As for the rest I never got the doors and brothers in arms was absolutely flogged to death here in the uk. Have a great Christmas mate. All the best. 👍
I was a little kid in the 60s and I literally had to keep it to myself that I did not like Sergeant Pepper. I thought it was overrated and all it was was a collection of songs. There is no theme. There is no big idea. Imagine my surprise when recently Keith Richards came out and said the same thing. Then I read or heard John Lennon saying the same exact thing. Finally there is a record review written by Ray Davies when it came out and he says the same thing. It's over produced and over ornate and tedious. I like the title song and the reprise. And getting better and good morning.
brothers in arms not a bad track amazing playing, sargent peppers have no problem with, , the zombies took me quite a few listens then i got it, doors awesome, the wall never cared for i always get gasps when i say that, elton john for me is like rob stewart anything after the mid 70s meh, love the same as the zombies took quite a few listens, overrated for me coldplay, radiohead, ed sheran, oasis any album, great video glen cheers
VIDEO SPOILERS… Brothers In Arms - Properly Rated (Money For Nothing Is My Favourite Dire Straits Song) Sgt Pepper’s - Properly Rated (In My Top 30 Albums) The Wall - Still Not Heard It Oddessey & Oracle - Properly Rated (My Favourite 1968 Album) Western Stars - Properly Rated (In My Top 20 Albums) What’s Going On - Properly Rated (Also In My Top 20 Albums) The Doors Debut - Properly Rated Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Not Heard It But Not Sure I Will Forever Changes - Slightly Overrated Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Properly Rated (My Favourite Elton John Album)
It sounds like 'Funeral for a friend' will be an F. Well, obviously it will be. Yep, 'Benny and the Jets' is annoying, but there are at least two other great songs on 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road': 'All the Young Girls Love Alice' and 'Danny Bailey.' From what I've heard, all true Doors fans consider their first album to be the best. I'd agree with you on 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,' and I'd throw in Tull's 'A Passion Play.' 'Another Brick in the Wall' has a magnificent grandiosity of vision and several really good songs. Has anyone ever watched an opera? Typically one headliner song, two hours of other music, and a silly storyline. By that benchmark, this opera is pretty damned good. 'Tommy' and 'Quadraphenia' likewise. I lost The Kinks on their 'Soap Opera,' and I don't know how I got past 'Percy.' My age at the time, I suppose. Willies were funny. My nominations for most overrated would be 'Led Zep I and II.' 'Led Zep IV' and 'Physical Graffiti' - spectacular albums. But those first two ...? Was every male except me psychic?
"Brothers In Arms" is very good, but I like their debut and "Making Movies" a lot more. "Sgt. Pepper" will also always be my favorite album of all time. I find CD 1 of "The Wall" great, but CD 2 has a lot of filler to me. "Odessey And Oracle" is great. I think it's a masterpiece. I discovered it very late. "What's Going On" is better than you think. "Flying High In The Friendly Sky" has an amazing bass line. "Inner City Blues" is also great. "The Doors" debut is a masterpiece for me, their best album! I like CD 1 of "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" is great, CD 2, not so much. Similar to "The Wall". "Forever Changes" is very good, but I think their "Da Capo" album has their best album side, Side One. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is and always will be my favorite Elton John album. There's a little bit of filler, but it's very good overall to me.
I don't think the albums you mentioned are overrated. An album I think is overrated is Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage. All three parts. I don't think it's bad, but I don't think it's as good as a lot of people make it out to be. One thing that I can't stand about the album is that it has way too many sexual jokes in it. Frank Zappa was always wacky, but I think he took it little too far this time.
Love were an incredibly original and inventive band, listen to there two earlier albums and then Forever Changes, it may change your opinion lol 😝. Oh and I saw Love at the Roundhouse February 28th 1970, one of my favourite ever gigs, there was something special about Arthur, I got a similar vibe from Marc Bolan, can’t explain it!
I suppose great albums are prone to be tagged overrated. Brothers in Arms is good but overrated, especially when it came out. I like Sgt Pepper but not as much as most. I can’t get into The Wall. Odessey and Oracle is great. For me Time of the Season is my least favourite.I have noticed that Odessey and Oracle does sound very different depending on which version you have - the song This Will Be Our Year has a version with horns, which many like, but I prefer it with just the vocals and piano, not the best piano playing but it’s heartfelt- to my ears anyway. The Doors debut is great but not my favorite of theirs. What’s Going On - NO filler - perfect album. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - I agree. Starts off well. I love Grey Seal, classic Elton John sound. Benny and the Jets and Candle in the Wind I can do without. Overrated for me are: Who’s Next - don’t like it Destroyer- Kiss. I love Kiss but the great songs of this album are pulled down by the bad ones. Sabotage Black Sabbath - I do love this album but all their prior albums are much better. I have noticed putting this as their favourite. Are You Experienced- ok, it’s not overrated but I get annoyed when people rate this as their best and dismiss or don’t mention Axis and even Electric Ladyland. Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland 10/10, Are You Experienced 9.5/10 😊👍🏽 Btw, Pets Sounds is the masterpiece of masterpieces…but I understand those who don’t like it. I didn’t when I first heard it, or should I say I didn’t get the hype but I do now. ✌️
I would say Sgt Pepper isn’t overrated but a album that i feel is overrated slightly is Sweetheart Of The Rodeo is just not as good as people are saying.
I think the earlier Dire Straits albums are better than Brothers In Arms, so I would label it overrated. I think it became a big hit because of the videos more than the music. Sgt. Pepper is hard to talk about. It's so well known that it could be the best album ever and still be overrated. I stopped listening to it for years, but then I found an early UK mono pressing and that was a whole other world compared to how I heard it before. I find The Wall really boring, with a few great moments. The concept was ambitious but the songs mostly don't live up to it. The Doors debut is flawless. It might not be their best album, but it's held up to decades of listening for me. I like Odessey & Oracle, but I'm not onboard with the "masterpiece" label. Not yet anyway - I haven't listened to that one enough. I am a huge fan of Forever Changes. It sounded very unusual to me the first few times I heard it, but it really grew on me. Now it's one of my favourite albums, and if I could only listen to 10 albums from the 60s it would have to be on the list. Great video, and I'm sure there will be lively debate in the comments!
I’ve never listened to a Dire Straits album. Sgt Pepper is great. I’ve never listened to the Wall all the way through. It is okay. Odyssey and Oracle is over rated. Two great songs does not make a great album. I haven’t listened to a Bruce Springsteen album since Born In The USA. Whats Going On has 4 great songs. The rest not that great. Side one of the Doors debut is perfect. I’m not a fan of Genesis. I’ve had several of their albums but purged them all. However I saw Genesis live and they were great. Forever Changes is a very good album but not on par with the Beatles or Stones from the same time period. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is too long but I love Bennie and the Jets. The three albums after Goodbye Yellow Brick are very good. In fact West Of The Rockies is my favorite. I would add Pet Sounds. It ain’t no Sgt Pepper.
Hi Glen The most overrated album of all is Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. Some mediocre bubblegum surf songs and a bad LSD trip from Brian Wilson results in Pet Sounds . 😅 Nothing more and nothing less. And all Elton John albums are overrated as well. Especially Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Captain Fantastic.. But this is just my opinion. Take care.
@GlenKellawayfromthebasement Undecided? 😅😅 I have an aversion against Pet Sounds, even against The Beach Boys as a band. Just can't stand them. Elton John .... my real opinion .... just crap. The Zombies, Love, Genesis . ... they are all overrated.
Pink Floyd's The Wall is overrated for me. Has a few great songs, especially Comfortably Numb. But a lot of filler. Never reach for it. Kind of like Pet Sounds. Absolute masterpieces mixed with meh. Genesis as a band, to me, it's all overated, especially the Gabriel years. Same with Gentle Giant. Everybody raves. I'm meh. What'sthe big deal.
Odessey.... man what an album. This Will Be Our Year will be at my wedding. I too like the Wall a lot! Thanks for the shout!
My response to the haters of Sgt Pepper’s: Ok, you try creating an album of that much depth and soundscape. Oh, oh, oh, wait… and do it on a four track.
That’s what blows my mind about that record.
Great video Glen!
Wow..I love that..Can use it?
@@GlenKellawayfromthebasement Absolutely!
The Wall has never got me.
Congrats on the views! All I know is Ween's Quebec album is NOT overrated! 😀
I am picking up steam Larry..
Odyssey And Oracle is The Zombies Sgt Pepper. A majestic piece of work Glen.
I won’t argue with you❤❤❤

Don’t mess with Pepper..🤬🤬🤬🤬
I prefer to listen to Morrison Hotel and LA Woman above the other Doors albums.
Agreed..
If albums have too many weak tracks I extract the good ones and burn them to a cd-r and now I have a really strong compilation. Sgt. Pepper is a great landmark album and Brothers in Arms is just a great album from beginning to end.
I can’t do that..I listen to all albums in their entirety..it’s my OCD kicking in..

Forever Changes is Love’s Sgt Pepper.
I don’t see Shirley Temple on the cover..

Imagine and Band On The Run are both overrated to me. Venus And Mars is so much better as a piece of work.
I love Imagine and BOTR very much..Venus and Mars is better though..
I’ve never listened to a Dire Straits album. Sgt Pepper is great. I’ve never listened to the Wall all the way through. It is okay. Odyssey and Oracle is over rated. Two great songs does not make a great album. I haven’t listened to a Bruce Springsteen album since Born In The USA. Whats Going On has 4 great songs. The rest not that great. Side one of the Doors debut is perfect. I’m not a fan of Genesis. I’ve had several of their albums but purged them all. However I saw Genesis live and they were great. Forever Changes is a very good album but not on par with the Beatles or Stones from the same time period. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is too long but I love Bennie and the Jets. The three albums after Goodbye Yellow Brick are very good. In fact West Of The Rockies is my favorite. I would add Pet Sounds. It ain’t no Sgt Pepper.
Wow..never listened to Dire Straits!!! I never pegged you as A Bennie And The Jets guy..I don’t even know who you are anymore!!!
Yellow Brick Road s good not great
Hi Glen
The most overrated album of all is Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys.
Some mediocre bubblegum surf songs and a bad LSD trip from Brian Wilson results in Pet Sounds . 😅
Nothing more and nothing less.
And all Elton John albums are overrated as well. Especially Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Captain Fantastic..
But this is just my opinion.
Take care.
lol..can we mark you down as undecided?
@GlenKellawayfromthebasement
Undecided? 😅😅
I have an aversion against Pet Sounds, even against The Beach Boys as a band. Just can't stand them.
Elton John .... my real opinion .... just crap.
The Zombies, Love, Genesis . ... they are all overrated.
Pink Floyd's The Wall is overrated for me. Has a few great songs, especially Comfortably Numb. But a lot of filler. Never reach for it. Kind of like Pet Sounds. Absolute masterpieces mixed with meh. Genesis as a band, to me, it's all overated, especially the Gabriel years. Same with Gentle Giant. Everybody raves. I'm meh. What'sthe big deal.
Meh works👍
Thriller, Purpil Rain, Crime of the century, Whats goin on
All overrated
The Lamb is a tough slog to get through. Overrated with lots of filler. Not their best. That would be Selling England By The Pound imo.
You are not wrong..
Lamb… is just muddy and boring.
I won’t disagree
@@GlenKellawayfromthebasement The only Genesis album I like is Trick Of The Tail All the rest are overrated but that one is fab.
The Wall is definitely over rated but Yellow Brick Road and the Door's debut are complete masterpieces!
Okay..don’t hurt me😩😩😩❤👍
