Most overrated band of all time?
Who do you think?
|
U2 [Joshua Tree is amazing, but for the most part they are completely overrated].
Arctic Monkey's [What revolution? Just sounds like plain ol' boring indie rock]. Coldplay [About as dynamic as watching a cat do your tax returns]. |
I might do a poll. I was also thinking of The Beatles and Nirvana

In fact, they inspired the dub reggae movement with regards to studio-as-instrument practices. Which in turn inspired a sickening amount of music, including a lot of post Punk. In fact, almost every band on the planet owes something either to the Beatles or Kraftwerk. True fact. |

But I have no problem in saying Nirvana are overrated, I do like them though. |
I'm inclined to say Radiohead. Potentially controversial - but I've given a lot of their material a listen, and, whilst I love about 5 tracks, I find the majority incredibly boring and don't see where the hype is.

Radiohead are definitely overrated. Let's face it, quiet a lot of the back catalog is just droning ambient music with Thom Yorke's vocals pasted over the top. They didn't reinvent the wheel so much as stick a pin in it and push it up a steep hill.

I like Pyramid Song, Karma Police and No Surprises. And Creep too. But that's all. Nude was okay.
I can't think of any more bands I'd say are overrated. There's many I dislike but can respect - Elvis in particular. Really don't get his style of music at all, but can appreciate how revolutionary it was. |

Oh yeah, Sex Pistols. Yes, they inspired a whole load of bands, but they were an [empty] statement more than anything else.
One great album. A glorified bassist who could not actually play bass. A lead singer who realized it was going to go nowhere so he formed Public Image. And *drumroll* people calling them one of the greatest bands of all time. One of the greatest musical events of all time? You bet. Band? Give me a break. |
About half of the bands NME big up as the 'next big thing'. For me it's surely anything featuring Pete Doherty.

Would agree with Sex Pistols being overrated, and Pete

Bon Jovi - Because they are

I don't know anybody who overrates Bon Jovi. Most people realize them for the acidic, wimpy, self pitying bag of cat **** that they are.
Which neatly brings me on to Nickleback. |
The Jonas Brothers
Theres good bands out there that arent even looked at twice because they might not be viewed as 'Hot' by girls. I think the Jonas Brothers are only famous because of Disney where as there is bands who actually work to get famous. JB Dont deserve fame, Im just glad the UK doesnt go Gaga over them as much as Americans do |
Oh God, Nickelback! My ears! Very overrated, I agree.
|
The Beatles for me. If that sort of music was released nowadays, they'd be laughed at.
|
Maybe it should just be most overrated artist lol although there would be some heated debate amongst the obsessives
|
Oh Stu, I usually agree with mostly everything you say, but the Pistols were a band. Punk is not about being talented or good at what you do, necessarily. It's about having fun and getting the message across. They certainly accomplished that. I do agree that some people glorify them too much, but they were a band. A ****ing good band.
