Jules72 Ironic that.
Overrated bands
The Beatles. Seriously.
Doves, Elbow, Manic Street Preachers, Pulp, Suede
The Lightning Seeds
Any band Dave starts a thread about.
the eagles are easily the worst band to ever sell a record.
Also a great call.
Probably doesn’t fit under overrated but rather a personal distaste, but I cannot do Thom Yorke’s voice so fully out on Radiohead.
But strictly overrated: U2. Bono is a self-absorbed twat who almost certainly repeats what world leaders say, but in a reverential whisper, when he meets them.
I was brought listening to Pink Floyd & The Beatles. I still listen to Pink Floyd now.
I’ll add Oasis & Blur as I just don’t get them.
Mad_Cyril Surely, they haven’t been over-rated?
U2 are top of the tree here. Remember when they launched an album and it automatically when into everyone’s iTunes? Talk about getting it all wrong.
jonattonyeah Bono a twat? Absolutely, but U2 overrated? That’s such a lazy cliche.
I still put the Joshua tree as one of my favourite albums of all time.
THE BEATLES??? Must stay away from this thread. People who say that usually never listened to a Beatles record from start to finish.
U2 are absolute bollocks.
I’m not into Radiohead myself, depressing shite but I don’t think they’re a bad band, they’re brilliant musicians.
U2 have made some of the most iconic songs and albums of all time. Let’s be real here. You don’t have to like their music but overrated? Please.
Eagles are a great shout.
Try living in an expat bar bubble, where halfway through your night it will be ruined by a bunch of amateurs taking over the stage to play Mustang Sally (I know this isn’t the Eagles), Hotel California and Desperado.
“Now, any requests?” “Yes, please fuck off.”
Pulp were overrated for sure. Common People isn’t a bad song but the band had a weird following during the Brit Pop years. Manic Street Preachers, Muse, I’d even throw Oasis in there but you can’t deny they made some great songs, maybe they’re overrated in the sense they were lauded as the best band in the world at one point. The Proclaimers were voted Scotlands best ever band recently, now that’s OVERRATED.
These threads are bilge anyway because it brings out the retard in people. I’ve heard lads say The Cure were overrated. That’s what your dealing with. Maybe you’re not into their sound but overrated? Clueless. In fact, fuck this thread and fuck you, Ed.
