Most Overrated Bands / Artists

There wont be any Zep in mine, because I don't own any Zep albums. That doesn't mean I don't like it, before you start throwing things at me, just that I can see it's not rubbish, but kind of missed the boat a bit with them.
fecking boat sailed in 1969. What half these cnuts are doing on it God only knows.
 
I'm listening to the first Led Zep at the moment

"Babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe don't you know I've got to ramble?"

A more accurate if less poetic lyric would have been "Babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe don't you know I've got to have it off with lots of other women in an LA hotel?"
 
You're a man of taste and discretion

I may not go to gigs anymore, but I still go mental in my living room listening to that record


It's hard not to.

One of my biggest musical regrets is never seeing Leftfield live, still kick myself now, that and Portishead too but luckily I'm putting that right in April.

Beth Gibbons siiging, right infront of me :drool:
 
Plech - How do you conclude Muse are Radiohead clones?

Which tunes are we talking about here and why?

______________

For me I have never ever got Pink Floyd - meandering bollocks imo

The 70's have a lot to answer for in respect of the '4-7 minute solo and feck the tune'

Interesting about Oasis and their 3rd album. Its universally held that the first two albums are excellent and the third rubbish but the actual musical content on that album is very good but for some inasane reason nearly every song goes in to the 5th and 6th minute by which time you've had it. They started to develope this ponderous tempo and still stuck to the same songwriting format whoch made them all so long

Echo and the Bollocks - how overrated is that shite and more recently Razorlight - fsakes

Have to agree that Snow Patrol are earning top dollar from their two and three chord repeats

Must say that although imo The Beatles are the greatest band ever the last couple of albums are very poor. They'd had it by then

Cream - just a glorified jamming sesion but you hear all kinds of claptrap about their legendary 'status

Cant agree about U2 - they are original and no other band sound like them and are fking brilliant live

Chillis - fsakes tbh if you can name me more than five really top songs from a dozen fking albums I'll be surprised although to be fair they are consistantly better in recent years than the funk rock jamming from the previous 8/9 albums - overated for me

Pearl fking Jam - deary me

How anyone can summise the Beatles to be overated is surprising given their originality, effect on a a whole decade and beyond, their tonal and studio technical innovation, diversity of the writing, musicianship and the ability for their music to speak to all ages, to satisfy different levels of musical understanding, to attain a consistantly high level of writing -
an incredible band ( that includes Martin as a component part of the band too)

A topic that could go on forever really

You lost me here.

now I can understand why you support who you support - no taste :lol:

Well Edges whole guitar sound is unique - free from widdling solos and almost orchestral in places just as May's is in Queen. Great variety in the tunes as well

I'm not what I'd call a great fan myself but for originality, a good mix of the gentle and the hard tunes, tremendously simple drumming/rythm section free of unecessary fills and bullshit and a fantastic vocalist - songs ranging from huge anthemic productions to exposed acoustic numbers and can cut it live - they 're fecking good imo

Yeah to be honest I should have stopped reading there, somehow I made it down to the U2 bit, fecking sadeist.

feck off, he's all effects and no bollocks.

You forgot to add 'in your opinion'

Great guitarist - the song is everything to him and he does enough to enhance everything about it he can. He does use the effects box but that's what an fx box is for Jonny Greenwood uses it even more if you listen
Both use it brilliantly imo

I didn't forget at all, that bit was fact.
 
Funny that my musical dictionary has Thom Yorke listed under 'pretentious cnut'...this is obviously not true, though, apparently.
 
True Hammer. And if he called himself Yorko we'd be obliged to hate Radiohead too.
 
Thom Yorke's not remotely pretentious... he's honest as feck

Bono's not so much pretentious as pompous. I mean his music, I don't mean his politics... I can't stand the way people slag him off for trying to save the world. So what if he has delusions of grandeur? Most people in his position are happy just to sit by their swimming pools.
 
late to the party but

The Doors, The Eagles, Happy Mondays, Pink Floyd, Tupac & Biggie, Janet Jackson

I quite like some U2 songs :nervous: Bono is a cocknosed twat, admittedly.
 
I made the case on here for the Eagles years ago

Obviously no one listened to me except you sid

if id been around id have been onboard for that one...bland insipid nonsense....cnuts too.
