I would gladly have started a arguement on your comment on pop-music up there, if my english language skills were better. I hate how metalheads and/or "alternative" people has to distance themselves from anything mainstream and popular, and have this ghey arrogant attitude against it, that thier music is far better.... i hate that, i hate a lot, now i'll go hate my breakfast because im unemployed and only wearing underpants, and getting a bit fat..rauwr :E
(and i would call Opeth metal pop-music, kinda, because everybody who enjoys metal knows Opeth)

Depends on the definition of overrated. They aren't exactly the most known nor loved band in existence. I could mention one that could be considered overrated, if anyone: Johnny Cash. Yes, I like SOME of his songs... But he's made thousands, and I've only heard a few I'd actually say was good. But that's just me. I'm not even into the genre. So I suppose he's good. I mean, even making songs people who don't like country, like. So uh... yeah... fuck that.
Oh, but to the comment on pop music: Was I saying pop music sucks? No, I was not! Thanks for making up your own little thoughts about me in your head, based on nothing. I have no problem with pop music per se, I just consider it to lack variety. 80% of them seem to be about how one person's heart was broken. The rest of them being about how someone would walk through fire for someone.
I actually do enjoy some pop (even Robbie fucking Williams). So hah. In your face... I suppose.
And Opeth = pop? Well, that's an arguable statement.
EDIT: I kind of agree with you about metalheads trying to stay away from mainstream music. But I don't think I would fit there. I like In Flames. As mainstream as Melodic Death Metal gets.
