Most Overrated Band Of All Time

[ilikecheese]

Is that that scruffy hair band that sang teenaged spirits?

Yes mate. If you were a local you'd have heard Negative Creep a few hundred times before smelling a certain scent of spirit.

Boyzone

Just feel like they didn't work on their harmonies enough. Probably Louis Walsh's fault being too much of a nice guy with them when they needed a strict workhorse and disciplinarian

Its genuinely mental how they got so massive. They're such a unique (weird) band. Even my mates who are the creamfields sort of crowd know the words to BYOB and Toxicity.

I remember hearing a story about their first tour in the UK supporting Slayer and the Slayer fans were notorious for being very straight down the line metal. And then SOAD rock up John's got a gas mask on, Serj looks like an evil Rabbi and Darons painted silver. Must've blew their heads off.

I need to see them. Have you?

I need to see them. Have you?

Nah not yet, I was too young when they were at their peak and haven't been able to catch them since they returned.

Drinking in a coffee shop with Frasier in that one horse town bobbin your head to Sappy.

Not my scene at all.

I was too broke and too from Dublin. Badly considering download. Went over for korn and limp bizkit. SOAD are a must.

Polite reminder to the sweaty greebos that this is a thread for overrated bands, not good bands you’d like to see.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Honestly early 90's Seattle was an incredible time and place. All of a sudden all these acts just blew up. Someone half good at farting was getting signed by a major label.

The music industry simple got nuked in 1991.

I mean it was incredible scenes when our boys were nominated for a Grammy for best hard rock album in I think 88. Soundgarden. Nobody outside of of Seattle knew them back then. They exploded after Teen Spirit. Mother Love Bone were local legends. Sadly a heroin overdose happened, but from those ashes Pearl Jam was born. Mookie Blaylock they called themselves at first. Jeff Ament had to be the one calling that shot.

It was a great scene but then Kurt went and did that. And the mainstream turned it into a commodity raped it to bits sold ripped flannel for mad prices then a load of clone bands popped up and the mainstream just raped it. But it did go out with a literal bang. That death shook the genre to its core. It was like kurt was the host of the party and I ended it extremely abruptly. But as said the machine was getting its grip before that.

Well anyway calling them and the impact they made overrated is underrating what actually happened.

This is the overrated thread after all and Nirvana have no place in it

Let us talk about U2's mostly crap existence.

It's a great city Jay. Water scenes everywhere. Mountain views. On both sides. Beechers is an excellent cheesemaker. Oh and we got beer and loads of it. And if coffee is your thing (not mine) you'll find it within sneeze of wherever you are.

 

[BrendanGOT]

This is your primer for late 70s hard rock...

Wouldn't be country rock without mentioning Lynyrd Skynyrd

Ah it’s beautiful looking. Were you nockin about when the grunge scene exploded?

The Beautiful South

No one actually rates them, they are just so bad they deserve to be shamed

The musical equivalent of a wet blanket

I couldn't disagree more.

Heaton is right up there for me.
