Most Overrated Band Of All Time

[SuperTimCahill]

AC/DC and Iron Maiden. Especially AC I can't stand.

Some other decent shouts in here as well, like Springsteen. I remember 'We Shall Overcome' being a decent album, but other than that I haven't really heard much I liked from him.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Had a think on the drive home and I'm gonna go with Aerosmith and Coldplay.

Aerosmith to me are a singles band and I dont like the singles.

And Coldplay are gash from start to finish.

We agree on something after all

 

[Buckers]

Ocean colour scene

 

[SuperTimCahill]

My picks would probably be The Ramones, loads of T-shirts, not so many actual songs and Kiss, fun gimmick but not much behind that.

Totally agreed.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Nirvana
Cold play
Radiohead
Muse

Utter utter turds that all need a good bath and a pan of scouse

 

[Blue 1]

Blur. Bunch of cockney cheeky chappies with 3 half decent songs. Get worshiped like they wrote masterpieces

Not having that, there are 3 or 4 decent albums in their catalogue and Graham Coxon is an incredibly inventive guitarist even if Damon Albarn is a mockney bellwipe and Alex James is a Tory cockstash.

 

[BigBlueConk]

I never got the love for Genesis and Phil Collins.
But the awards speak for themselves.

 

[BornBlue76]

Milli Vanilli

 

[BigBlueConk]

The Bay City Rollers.

Shang a lang la.

 

[Death]

System of a Down.

Mainstream pop metal that gets over glorified.

 

[d34noj]

Nirvana were a really important band at the time and did influence lots of other bands but they couldn't really play. Kurt was a rubbish guitar player.

Not sure if you're being serious here.

Shed 7 aka sh*t 7.

That was an NME review if I remember rightly. Awful band. A lot of folk talk about that britpop era as some sort of high point in British music. In reality, it was just clever marketing and all sorts of pub standard dross was getting pushed out. Likes of dodgy, suede, James, the bluetones, menswear ffs lol lol Think some Pulp, some blur stuff and maybe some supergrass are the only half decent things to come out of that era. Even then they had lots of dink songs. I do get a sense of nostalgia when I hear oasis but still think they’re gash rip off merchants. Much better stuff was coming from the states with perhaps the exception of Bush.
There was a lot of good musi coming from Chemikal underground during the later 90s mind you. Mogwai and Arab strap etc. If that’s your thing.

Madonna. Close thread.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Oasis. Some people go on like they were gods. Bog average catchy tune merchants on their day.

Suede are great, you leave Suede alone!
