Can't believe it got this far without a visit from the arctic monkeys - all hype and no talent.

Oasis - utter shite
Posted 2 years ago # -
Oh well, here's me 2p...
Oasis are my favourite band. Of all time. Ever. They deserve to be held up as producers of astonishingly good music. I still don't know why so many people go "oh yeah, their first two albums were alright, but then they got shite": seems to me people ain't listening to 'em and only because they're too proud to.
Ho hum.
Overrated band: REM. Their music makes me weep. (With pain and desire to have the CD rammed up George W. Bush's a-hole, before shooting the whole shebang into a volcano on Venus.)

without The Beatles there would be no popular music as we know it.
But they didn't, did they. That's just using the same dumb argument people use when shown works by, say Mondrian or Jackson Pollock: “Jeeze, I could do that!" Maybe, but the fact is they had the imagination and creativity and got there first, and that's all that's important. And, frankly, none of your opinions counts for squat 'cos millions of people out there actually buy the albums and go to the gigs so that's what makes those artists highly rated. Bitch about them all you want, you ain't gonna change anything.
Without the Beatles, some other band would have come along and "changed popular music as we know it"...
In my opinion, Oasis were overrated just because they were pretty much a Beatles cover band with a change of lyrics; they had nothing that was original. I could possibly have lived with that if the brothers hadn't been such mouthy gobshites.Posted 2 years ago # -

Pink Floyd are not over rated in the slightest, especially when compared to over prog (some good King Crimson, much bad ELP)they were ahead of there time.
Problem is PF went on for a long time with very different musical leads, their Psychedelic era (syd Barret) is not to everyones liking, including mine, and their Rodger Water era (Such as Final Cut) was also only good if you like Rodger Waters as a solo artist, I don't. But when you take the good it is very very good. Albums like Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Where Here; also Meddles B side (echoes). In my opinion when Pink Floyd work as a band with both Gilmour and Waters contributing equally then the product is amazing.
Also never let it be said that The Wall is there finest work, this album is also heavily Rodger Waters Bias. Although I do like it, but no where near as much as Dark Side or Echoes.
Rank Over - I really do like The Pink Floyd Sound.

I'm glad someone else out there thinks the same as me when it comes to the Sex Pistols - just another boy band put together by a manager to cash in on a trend
I don't agree that Cream or the Arctic Monkeys are rubbish but I conceed that some people go too far in thinking that they are minor deities (anyone ever heard that song by Dan le Sac and Scroobius Pip? 'just a band' :] )
ok, here's some more over rated's
Blur, one or two good songs (i.e. one an album) but a lot of filler in the albums and all that fake cockernee bullsht
the Cure, boring
metallica, crap
Guns N Roses, the big singles that still get played on the radio are showing their age and the rest is all toss
Paul Weller's solo stuff after the first 2 albums (Paul Weller and Wildwood are decent enough the rest are all dire and get progressively worse)Posted 2 years ago # -
anyone who wins the mercury music award.

The Beatles, again.
A moderately good beat combo who unfortunately 'took the world by storm', a world unfortunately not sophisticated enough to recognise rubbish music played by monkeys.
Look at their later achievements; a millionaire lying in bed for peace? Mull of Kintyre? Thomas the Tank Engine?
... I'm eternally grateful that I was too young to be exposed to them, and then when I was old enough, my critical faculties were well developed enough to realise that they really, really weren't all that.

beatles - yawn.
U2 - get over yourselves
no one mentioned ABBA though?!
oh god, shoot me now. why don't they just piss off and dissapear into the ether of shite that they came from.
sickeningly shit.
AND YET... flipping tv bangs on and on about them with their abba tributes etc etc etc... AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
oh, and any 'tribute' band. clearly shit cos otherwise they'd be able to make their own music.

Van wrote some lovely songs (He HATES 'Brown Eyed Girl')
Did Ye Get Healed?
Listen To The Lion.
So Quiet In Here.
etc....Shame he's such a miserable two-hat though.....

For me Queen, hate the processed backing lyrics and Brian May's guitar sound, AC/DC should've packed it in years ago. Zappa, boring drivel. Iron Maiden, total mince.

Don't really see what that has to do with anything. Arguably it's his demeanour that has made him such a great songwriter, alongside his life's experiences.

JLS they are rubbish. I cant stand them

Them's not even reached "rated" status yet so don't fret.
Dylan.
Springsteen.
"Prog" rock.
Coldplay.
Snowpatrol , how these **** have headlined T in the Park (twice) is beyond me. ooh but they're Scottish...........aye, but they're shite.Loads more but I'm now having a turn thinking about shite music.
Posted 2 years ago # -
A few runners up namely Oasis, Beatles, Coldplay, Yes, Dire Straits and Police
But the outright winner must be, wait for it, the tediously repetitive band that is Genesis

hear hear. hated them then, still hate them now. and as for that 'film' based on the musical based on their work - what a crock of sh&te. Absolutely the worst filme ever in the history of celluloid. At least Plan 9 From Outer Space had a plot
oh, and any 'tribute' band. clearly shit cos otherwise they'd be able to make their own music.
yeah, covers are easier to learn than your own material, but a lot less rewarding, especially when people actually like your own material. but if you don't have a recognised 'writer' in the band you're buggered

If we're allowed solo artists it has to be Bob Dylan.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I have never got Bob Dylan either.
The Corrs are scarily dreadful as are R.E.M.

There are no overrated bands, just differences in taste. If I like something you don't like, and I'm a HUGE Radiohead fan, for example, then I win
Because I derive enormous amounts of pleasure from their music and seeing them perform, and all you get is a bitter taste in the mouth....
Posted 2 years ago # -
ColdPlay.
U2
Oasis.Oh, and any of that X-factor bildge.
All boil my head, and have me gunning for the remote if they come on..

Whilst I appreciate that some people think Radiohead can be a bit dour, at least they are original. Oasis are stil playing exactly the same shite, just rehashed, as they were over 15 years ago, which I suppose appeals to your average beer swilling england shirted youth.

Pink Floyd - Unmusical, dull, wallowing, pretentious 'sound'
......
C'mon, they weren't that good!Oasis

I sort of feel sorry for you all. All that bile and angst, it must be hell.
There isn't a band on this thread that I don't appreciate at least a song. Some of them aren't anywhere near a favourite band or anything, but some of the comments are comical really, jealous much?
