We're taking bets that many things are overrated...

I apologize to my faithful readers for not having a question of the day. For some reason I thought today was Wednesday and not Thursday. I have a couple of simple fun questions. Post your answers in the comments section. Have fun!!!

A. What are your top 5 overrated music groups? (Idea stolen from boston.com)

B. What is the one food you will not eat even though many other people have no problem with it? If you are a vegetarian please use vegetarian stuff and not meat. :)

Answers:

A. 1. Dave Mathews Band - I just don't get it. He has some good music, but he is not a music god like most people think.
2. The Rolling Stones - They were The Beatles 2. None of their music makes me happy. They have definitely lived past their touring years.
3. Moby - He has a few good songs, but just because he is different everyone thinks he is so great.
4. N'SYNC - The Backstreet Boys were better.
5. 50 Cent - He was overexposed and his music now makes me want to kick things.

B. Orange Marmalade - I really think it is digusting and I love oranges. How do people put this on their toast or bagel. Yuck.

I don't think I can come up with 5:

I agree about DMB, though I like them, I don't think they are worth the hype.

Alecia Keys: I think she's got a nice voice, but c'mon. She really just warbles. (I guess she's not a group-oh well)

Though I was in love with Jordan Knight, I'd have to say New Kids on the Block. (I'm now hated by everyone)

I think that's all for me, but I laughed out loud when I read that 50 Cent makes you want to kick things. Very funny.

B. Salmon. I've tried to like it, just can't do it. And the thought of the beloved salmon pie, well, it just makes me sick...

Great questions, Greg!

A. 1.) Stone Temple Pilots - Huge in the nineties, I cringe everytime their music is played. Got more press from Scott Weiland's drug addictions than from the music they play.

2.)Alicia Keys - I have no idea why there is so much hype around her.

3.) Radiohead - Band that any alternative rock fan has to say they love, but I don't really see why.

4.) Creed

5.) Gwen Stefani - Although the banana song is catchy as hell, her other work as a single artist makes me wonder why it is so popular.

B.) Raw Tomatoes - People love them, and I envy that they are so enjoyable to other people. Me, I can't even be in the same room when someone is slicing them. They are my kryptonite (not that I have super powers, but you get my point) However processed tomatoes (sauces, ketchup, most salsa) is ok!

Top five pieces of crap:
Macy Grey-her voice sucks
Nirvana-never liked em
Meatloaf-I hate "Pardise"
Grateful Dead-what was the draw?
Phish-only existed because Jerry died

Food I eat:
Parsley. Yeah, you know, the green stuff that they throw on the side of the plate at decent restaurants? I eat that stuff. In fact, I collect other peoples and eat them too. I can't help it...I like the flavor.

1. Macy Gray - she makes me want to stab myself in the eye.
2. Rufus Wainwright - I think he sounds excessively whiney and like he's constantly crying.
3. Britney Spears - she sounds like a baaaa-ing goat. Baaaaa.
4. Eminem - Don't get me wrong, I think he's pretty good, but you'd think he was the first white rapper sometimes.
5. The Backstreet Boys - Sorry, Greg, but I have to disagree with you here. Huge hype over a bunch of self-righteous alcoholic jackasses. I saw interviews with both BB and N*Sync, and I have to say that N*Sync seemed much more down to earth and accepting that they were just a passing boy-ban.

B. Sushi. There's something about raw fish that just doesn't seem right... BLECH!!!!

UM, Greg, Lisa, and the dyslexic man have all hurt my feelings in the worse way. Lisa and nia, in the day and age of where beyonce is supposed so great, Alicia Keys deserves the hype because there are not many people in the mainstrean that truly have talent like her.
Greg, BSB is better than *Nsync, ARE YOU MAD MAN. As a lover of boy bands old and new a tear came to my eye when I read that, and Lisa no I don't hate your for for the NKOTB remark, but I did just say a prayer for your soul! :)
1) Destiny's Child/Beyonce - They got shady when they kicked the two orginal members out and then claimed they were survivors and Beyonce I just don't see why anyone things she is great the best lyrics she could come up with I dont' think you're ready for this jelly
2)Limp Bizkit - i'm with D-Money on this, it was as if Fred Durst was the first white guy to rhyme over electic guitar and what was with the bassit with the freaky contacts
3)Wu Tang Clan - Can't hate on a bunch of brothas trying to hustle some money, but really besides Method Man, Old Dirty and the Riza what did the other ones do??
4)Phish/OAR - I just dont get it...never have..never will
5) 112 - "Meet me at the alter in your white dress...we ain't gettin no younger so we might as well do t his"...is this supposed to be a proposal

B)Caviar - Fish eggs...GROSS

P - the comment about 112 is ha-lar-ee-us.

Can you imagine that as a proposal? "B***h, we're getting old. Wanna be my ball & chain?" Aw HELL no!!!
