These are just people whose music you don't personally care for. Right?
And Phil Spector isn't a "musician." Is he?

Phil Spector played the guitar solo on the song Drifters' hit "On
Broadway". That may not make him a musician, but it certainly makes
him a "musician".

Although I disagree with your including Elvis and the pedophile I
totally agree with the above statement


Somebody posted Ms.Church singing some things from WSS. I can't
believe they wasted the effort to record her.. And what is more
astounding is that it probably sold well

Not so much as astounding as depressing; so many people are sheep who go
along with what PR people tell them to do, and Sony had a massive campaign
to pushpushpush the moppet in everybody's face.

As I predicted here in Usenet nearly six (!) years ago, she has now been
discarded like a wet rag.

ignored by every reader and manually deleted by every respondent, into a

This is a list that I can agree with... Have to keep in mind... overrated
doesn't mean bad; people tend to confuse the two terms... it simply means
(or, at least I understand it that way) "not as great as people say"...

From the pop world I would certainly add Sinatra, early Beatles, and U2.
From the classical world... hard to say; I used to think Szell and Mehta
were overrated, but lately I think I got Szell (and became something of a
fanatic... Rainer too) and I am warming up to Mehta... with that in mind, in
no particular order, mixing performers and composers:

Toscanini
Abbado
Webern
Copland
Gershwin
Glen Gould
John Williams (the film composer)

remember, not bad, just not as good as they say...

Mey I respectfully remind you that you asked
about "overrated/righlyrated/underrated" (by
implication) and not about "like/dislike"?

One may very well like artists who are over-
rated while at the same time dislike artists
who are rightlyrated or underrated. Are you
familiar with the concept of orthogonality?

As usual on these shores, the discussion has
turned into ad hominem attacks. Most writers
on this newsgroup do not seem to be able to
make the distinction between the topic under
discussion and the identities of the writers.

With very few exceptions, most of the rmcr
contributors take any comment that is ever
so slightly negative about any artist who
has ever been recorded as a personal attack.

Folks, you all need serious doses of valium.

That medicine will simply not work.

It is just far too mild.

I would rather suggest some form of stomach pump followed immediately by an
enema.

After that, perhaps a total lobotomy.

Oh, and don't forget to pull all their teeth as well.

Toothless, brainless, shitless, starving. That should do the trick.

To hell with valium.

Folks, you all need serious doses of valium.
That medicine will simply not work.
It is just far too mild.
I would rather suggest some form of
stomach pump followed immediately
by an enema.
After that, perhaps a total lobotomy.
Oh, and don't forget to pull all their
teeth as well.
Toothless, brainless, shitless, starving.
That should do the trick.
To hell with valium.
Sounds like a prescription

Well, perhaps. But if you think a little valium pill is going to cure the
ills that afflict a large number of members of this forum, I think you've
been taking too much valium yourself.

Of course, nothing will really prevent the inherently vicious, nasty,
mean-spirited in the group from spewing their loathsome thoughts here. Even
prayer hasn't helped them so far as I can see. Hell, even the death of the
Pope only served to bring out more bile. Any idea, any opinion is seen
simply as a means of chucking more shit onto the pile.

But I think my method will put an end to most of them.

a) None at all. I belong to the select group
of people on whom valium has the opposite
effect! ;-)

b) It was intended as a metaphor, not as an
actual Rx (this seems to have been lost
on you as you are an extreme literalist).

c) Obviously those interested in exploring
such passtimes can take more pills than
one.

Arri's request is a perfect example of how (even educated)
people can misunderstand and misuse their native language.

He asked about "overrated". In other words, about artists
one believes are thought to be greater or more important
than they really are/were. After I replied to his request,
it became rather clear that he read it as "these folks were
no good".

Something (or someone) can be very good, and still overrated
by some criteria. Saying that Beethoven or Furtwaengler are
over-rated does not mean one was a bad composer or the other
a bad conductor. It simply means that in the opinion of this
writer they were not "the greatest", or as great as they are
considered. Nothing wrong would that. Just like saying that
Rolex watches are over-rated does not mean they're bad watches
-- it simply means they are not the greatest as some people
believe.

Is is fascinating to see how people tend to switch from
relative to absolute at any opportunity.

Here's my list, including mostly classical or pseudo-classical
composers whose music I just don't like, for the most part,
but who are also well-respected in some circles, with a couple
of fine but overrated performers thrown in:

1. Richard Strauss (some extra-musical considerations here)
2. Sergei Rachmaninoff (though I love his choral liturgical works)
3. Aaron Copland (cowboy music)
4. Phillip Glass (mannered and dull)
5. John Adams (even more mannered and dull)
6. Carl Orff (one hit wonder)
7. Stephen Sondheim (an opera composer according to some)
8. Andrew Lloyd-Webber (well, he did write a Requiem)
9. Van Cliburn (underachiever)
10. Carlos Kleiber (underachiever)



Richard Wagner of course heads the 19th century list...

I suppose it doesn't matter if I mix composers, conductors, and musicians,
both classical and popular, but here goes:

1. Igor Stravinsky (I like S, but I also think there are dozens of 20th c.
composers who were better.)
2. Bob Dylan (with the E*Trade Financial commercials portraying him as the
posterboy "extraordinary" musician, he needs to be on this list!)
3. The Beatles (I'm not going to say they're crap, but there are so many
people regard them as musical geniuses, which they are not.)
4. Pablo Casals (his recordings of the Bach suites are astonishingly bad for
such a celebrated performance. [runner up cellist: Gregor Piatigorsky.])
5. Dame Janet Baker (it seems every recording she made got a rosette in the
Penguin guide. She is good, but not *that* good)
6. Glenn Gould (I don't think there is any question of his technical
skills--it's his interpretations that suck, despite so many people claiming
he had the last word on Bach.)
7. Miles Davis (So much pretentious nonsense! Bitches Brew may have been the
all time best selling jazz album, but I find it unlistenable).
8. S. Kuijken. His (first?) recording of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas got
rave reviews, but he certainly wasn't up to the task of performing them
9.Neville Marriner. (the musical equivalent of milk toast, but his
recordings--Mozart in particular--sure seem to be popular)
10. Charlotte Church . ('nuff said, but could it be that she's had her day
in the sun?)


There are several that A. Brian mentioned I think would be good
choices--notably the minimalists, to which I would add Steve Reich, but it
seems they are all justly reviled by most serious musicians. I suppose Orff
could be added, though I once sang in Carmina Burana, which was lots of fun,
and think that work is *unjustly* reviled. Aaron Copeland, though if he
composed more works like his piano variations, he would be one of the top 10
*underrated* musicians. Conductors: HvK and Toscanini deserve honorable
mention.

Lorin Maazel and Zubin Mehta have been both mentioned in at least one other
list, but I don't know they're highly regarded to begin with. Maazel's
Symphonie Fantastique on Telarc has to be about the most deathly dull
recording I ever heard!

DO people regard them as *musical* geniuses? Surely it's a combination
of a number of things, including music.
In the literal sense of genius, as creators of an unrivalled cultural
phenomenon, the word is certainly applicable.

They got through Rhapsody in Blue, so far as I have read, being fed
parts a page at a time by Ferde Grofe who was orchestrating it, I
think.

That at least says something about the musicians (hopefully), left
playing virtually at sight.

It's still a hard piece to play well even when you are not having to
sight read it but nowhere as tough as Porgy and Bess.

If the comments about Paul Whiteman are correct, perhaps it might have
been better if you had asked for the 10 Most Overrated Conductors of
the 20th Century rather than the actual musicians playing for them?
Sometimes there may be a confusion in these matters.

There again, that would also be difficult to answer, in my opinion.
Depends on the repertoire I would say.

But, whatever his failings as a conductor, perhaps we should give
credit to Whiteman for commissioning the work in the first place and in
the 23-piece arrangement for "Jazz Orchestra" to Harold McDonald who
coped so nobly with the percussion part, a page at a time, in such
arrangement? Of course, in 1924 there was nothing unusual between
leaping between "traps" and timpani although today it is called
"multi-percussion, one performer" and sometimes attracts attention.

Read up a little more. That's totally untrue. Whiteman's title "The
King of Jazz" wasn't accurate, but he certainly was the King of Dance
Band Leaders. His band set the standard for musicianship throughout the
teens and twenties.

My favorite Whiteman story was told by the animator, Walter Lantz. When
they were recording the soundtrack to the animated sequence in the film
"The King of Jazz" in 1929, Lantz had rigged up a blinking light to act
as a metronome. (Animators time their action to the beat of the music,
and they need the beat to be totally constant... every 8, 10 or 12
frames of film.) Whiteman did a couple of false start takes with the
light and became frustrated at the blinking. He ordered that the light
be turned off. Lantz explained that the animators needed a strict
metronomic beat to animate to. Whiteman said, "Sir, I have been
conducting for many years. If I can't maintain a steady beat, I'm not
doing my job... How long do you want this piece to be?" Lantz answered
"two minutes twenty four seconds..." Whiteman went through his score
and counted the bars, took out his pocketwatch and tapped out a few
beats on his music stand. Then put his watch back in his pocket, called
the orchestra to attention and proceeded to knock out a perfect take
that came out precisely to the correct length, with frame accurate
beats all the way through.

The records on Victor bearing the name "Sousa's Band" weren't conducted
by Sousa, but that was because he objected to the recording technology,
not because he was incapable of conducting.

See ya
