Over-rated band of all time

UrdadiUrdadi
edited November 2009 in The Shed
There are some bands that I just don't get. Not sure if it is me or the rest of the world that are wrong.

I think all these bands are highly over-rated. What do you think?

    Totally agree about MJ. About from a handfull of good songs in the 80's, yes I am that old to remember, he was rubbish.

    also amazing how all the allegations have been forgotten since he died by the media.

    What your missing out on is when they were at the start of their carears they were, new, fresh, and radical for the time. In hindsight in this day and age, they will all look overrated. Put yourself back in time and you would all think they were the best thing since sliced bread. So IMO they are not overrated, although they do grate on you after 1000 plays on the radio.

    Yes Urdadi, MJ was rubbish barring five songs.

    And Einstein wasn't very bright, Pavarotti didn't have much of a voice and Fred Astair had two left feet.

    The Who for me all day long ;) never saw the appeal personally. The beatles are classed as great because of their longevity, Nirvana because Kurt cobain was classed as a genius and oasis i think just because Noel put up with Liam for so chuffin long!!

    Out of those four in the poll, def Nirvana, never got it. Equally as Mr Magoo says, Coldplay - what are they on? - Similarly, anyone from the xfactor, complete c**p and absolutely no longevity. I remember back in the late 70's, The Police, i always thought they were overrated and then Sting went solo and my suspicions were confirmed.

    I'd rather go creosote the garden fences than listen to any of these

    Neil Diamond
    Phil Collins
    Rod Stewart
    Gareth Gates (would love to hear him try and cover Changes by Bowie) and all them xfactor monkeys.
    U2 (Bono is so far up his own aris, he could kiss his own tonsils)
    The absolute peak of over-ratedness is Madonna.

    Nobody should be allowed to buy anything in the charts unless they first have a knowledge of the best of this lot.
    Dylan, The Stones, Neil Young, Floyd, Hendrix, Cream, The Band, Grateful Dead, Led Zep.

    those two are the devil re-incarnated. normally I don't go in for the death penalty but would make an exception in their case.

    I appreciate we probably have very different tastes in popular music booboo, but I think that's very harsh on Madonna.

    Leaving aside everything you might think of her as a person, her ability to constantly re-invent herself as a pop artist over the years (and decades) is nothing short of astonishing. Especially if you consider it has been in an EXTREMELY fickle and ruthless industry. If MJ has been the king, Madonna can justifiably call herself the queen.

    Phil Collins is also quality. 8- />

    yeah i agree U2 iv never really got what the fuss was about...Coldplay and Snow Patrol should be up there..boring..weak...dont believe the hype!
    Posted by MrMagooo
    Agreed.  Snow Patrol just seem to follow the same formular when writing all their songs.  I can't see the appeal in them at all.  They just seem to be one of those bands write tunes so that they can be used on goal compilations on Sky Sports.

    I understand what you're saying Jinglema about Madonna, but she's awful in my opinion. I don't care anything about her or other acts as people, only what they produce as artists.
    Promo videos, make up, choreographers and stylists made her famous, Taking her singing ability (4/10) and songwriting ability (1/10) alone, which is all that should matter, she's very very weak.

    I forgot about Madonna. She is rubbish. Never could sing was nice on the eye though in her youth.

    How she has made a career is beyond me. Like a Virgin is like dragging fingers nails down a chalk board. There is hope for those two who cannot be named that are on X-Factor.

    Imagine being stranded on a deserted island with Garth Brooks and his sodding guitar and sodding cowboy hat.

    I'd be throwing myself at the sharks within 3 seconds.

    I can't be doing with all that New Romantic nonsense from the 80s either.

    Duran Duran, Blancmange etc. All that lot, pathetic nonsense with no longevity.

    Rap. I've never met anyone with an IQ into 3 figures who appreciates that garbage.

    Every boyband ever churned out. They shouldn't even count as artists as they never play any instrument. Bubble gum for teenage girls.

    That's the 80s through to today sorted. All rubbish really.

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned that so and so James Blunt!

    I'm so sorry, all of the bands/tosh you have listed above isn't even rated.

    As such, by definition, it cannot be overrated.

    Jmaes Blunt has the most painful name possible and will only ever be remembered for it's cockney rhyming slang definition.

    My actual answer was to vote for Oasis.
    I found it impossible to vote for The Beatles as Noel Gallagher has stolen so many melodies and riffs from the Beatles, it was impossible not to vote for them.

    I agree about the comment regarding Oasis. As I am getting old my mind is not what it used to be and I forgot all about them. Couple of good songs and that was it.

    I think I made a mistake only putting in 4 bands.

    I voted The Beatles.
    I was a young lad when they started and didn't like them then and still don't.
    Give me The Rolling Stones any day.
    The Who were OK but still not My cup of tea.
    Nirvana were only famous because of Kurt.
    Oasis were OK in the early days but went downhill after the first 3 albums.

    As for Rap, I just cannot fathom why anyone listens to it. I can't understand a word they say.

    Bring back the Disco hits of the 70's.
