[Kate!]

The Wanted

the beatles

:shocked:

- waits for Shaun -

[Shaun]

Bruce Springsteen
The Sex Pistols
AC/DC
Guns 'N' Roses
and, to an extent, Nirvana.

I do like/love them all but they're all massively overhyped by some people. Which is fine really, they're all better people to hype than, say, Take That or Lady GaGa, but still...

[Sarah.]

I remember there being a thread like this a few months ago and I remember having a good laugh at those who said The Beatles are overrated. :joker: Awww.


Anyway, that I can think of:
Adele, One Direction, Lady Gaga, Coldplay.

[Marsh.]

This is just like asking: "Popular artists who you don't like".

To an extent everything's overrated and not as good as it's made out to be. People expect and anticipate too much.

[Shaun]

It's obligatory for someone to mention the Beatles in threads like these Kate :p it's fine, I guess... but they are the best band ever and there's no disputing that :idc:

[Kate!]

I want to say Florence and the Machine but am afraid. Lol

Hides.

[Callum]

Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Bruno Mars and One Direction.

[Black Dagger]

I want to say Florence and the Machine but am afraid. Lol

Hides.

YEAH YOU BETTER HIDE -chases of Kate with a mop-

[Locke.]

Adele definitely. Really good singer, can't think of a better current female singer off the top of my head, but her actual songs aren't anything special.

[LemonJam]

Led Zeppelin
Arctic Monkeys
The White Stripes
Eminem

And of course the obligatory David Guetta.

[InOne]

Keane
Rihanna
Jessie J
Florence
Bieber
Kanye West

[Smithy]

Adele good lord

[Marsh.]

Lady Gaga. Though technically, she's probably more overhyped than rated.

[Samuel.]

Keane
Rihanna
Jessie J
Florence
Bieber
Kanye West

How can you put Kanye's name on that awful list.

Underrated if anything :idc:

[Shaun]

people rate Keane? D:

oh wait greg
-runs-

[Novo]

Knew it wouldn't be long before King Biebs was mentioned

[Kizzy]

I may cry..... led zepplin...stairway to heaven...lemon are you trippin? :)

[joeysteele]

I think everyone I have come across,past and present has made at least some recordings I liked, even Cheryl Cole but I would say she for me is massively overrrated.

[Z]

people rate Keane? D:

oh wait greg
-runs-

All of their albums have gone to #1 on the UK albums chart. Evidently it's not just me :tongue: but I agree, they are overrated if you look at that statistic, it is a bit of a joke. I do love them though.

It's hard to answer the OP... there are lots of musicians I don't listen to because I dislike their music but I think they're talented too, just not my cup of tea. I'd agree with Nirvana being overrated. As far as I'm concerned, Smells Like Teen Spirit is an incredibly overrated song and I think they've been elevated to this ridiculous level of popularity because of Kurt Cobain's death.

[Marc]

Most artists at the moment, but they'll hopefully flop soon.

I actually think Red Hot Chilli peppers are overrated. I think I just grew up with people going mad for them and I just didn't like them, same goes with Blink 182 as well.

But big artists: Elvis, really don't see the appeal.. ever

[Marc]

Oh and Gaga

and Adele to an extent.. she doesn't really warrant THAT MUCH SUCCESS

[Omah]

Adele, One Direction, Lady Gaga, Coldplay.

Adele definitely. Really good singer, can't think of a better current female singer off the top of my head, but her actual songs aren't anything special.

Yeah, Adele - a cut above mediocrity, but that's all .....
