Alrighty then, another band I am a huge fan of but are still overrated to the hilt for much of the same reasons as InOne described for Nirvana ... The Misfits.

All these years I've been saying it wrong!?



Today's not been a good day.

Oasis for me, I find them repetitive and the only reason they were so big was because of a few good songs otherwise they were rubbish. Coldplay are about as entertaining and interesting as dipping your testicles into a deep fat fryer. There's some others I hate too but I can't think of them.

*hurls piles of **** at Dean angrily*

Coldplay I can kinda sympathise with. I do love them, but they aren't the best band in the world today. But then again, neither are Muse.

YEAH I WENT THERE.

I find great satisfaction in watching that though. Heheheh. Can't say the same for Oasis or Coldplay though. Zzzzzz

setanta 05-12-2009 04:10 PM

Coldplay and Muse right now. Still thinking about bands from the past though.... The Doors are big time overrated but I fecking know that I'm forgetting one.

It was the media that put a damper on Oasis, plus the fact thet recorded their 3rd album completely off their heads, I thought Be Here Now was still really good though. It was a bit hit and miss with SOTSOG, but Heathen Chemistry, was pretty good, also Dig Out Your Soul is their best one for years.

Dig Out Your Soul was great. I do still think they are completely overrated though. Sonically they never changed much. Neither did AC/DC I suppose, but that's probably a good thing, despite the newest album being about trains from what I can gather.

Plenty of great records have been made by bands off they're heads too. See : The Magical Mystery Tour.

setanta 05-12-2009 04:14 PM

Green Day and Stereophonics are pretty pants too.

MrGaryy 05-12-2009 04:14 PM

Before I even read this thread my eyes went 'U2U2 U2U2'. Honestly they have produced some solid work, Sometimes You Can't Make On Your Own is fantastic, With or Without You is good too, but I find a lot of there earlier stuff and certainly all of their current stuff to be totally generic crap.

Wanted to vent my hate for Westlife, despite the fact they're not really a band. Overrated tosspots.

Tell it to the man, brah.

I used to like Green Day when they were singing about dope and girlfriends, but that whinny fucks voice just get's on my nerves when it's put to the ''Down With Bush, dudes!'' use.

The less said about the 'phonics, the better. A solid rock band with good tunes. Nothing more. Ever.

A never ending generation of 12 year old girls who keep giving them number 1s. What the hell is wrong with this country?

Agreed.

"American Idiot" is possibly the most overrated, overplayed piece of **** song. Argh, I can't ****ing stand it.

Their earlier stuff is excellent though and I really love Achtung Baby but yeah, I'm not a particularly huge fan.

Alf 05-12-2009 04:17 PM

Muse > Britney Spear's b-sides > your life > Coldplay.

Shaun 05-12-2009 04:17 PM

Agree with Green Day.

Never really saw Stereophonics as that rated tbh. They've always been pretty irrelevant for me.

Oh honey if we're going to bring Britney into this, and don't, because Mark will cry, she'd be somewhere inbetween The Hoosiers and Scouting For Girls on a relevance scale.

Am I the only Coldplay fan here?

Stereophonics should have got more recognition, same with The Verve

No, I also think their music is okay :3

setanta 05-12-2009 04:19 PM

Ocean Colour Scene. I could never get into them and I have friends who adore their stuff.

They are, they're just not really on par with the rest of the bands mentioned.

The Beatles were overrated,, right now - greenday

Because they don't write all the material, they don't play the instruments, and the vocals are autotuned?

You a fan?
