Most Overrated Band Of All Time

[jaycee]

Their version of Janis Joplin s Move Over is a great cover ....Like bands who could perform live as they did on an album! With no gimmicks ...,

Do born to be wild very well,I always liked Dapple Rose,showed another side to them

I’d have him down as more of a Daniel O’Donnell fan myself.

Which team does he play for in the Irish football league......?

 

[Parker]

Interesting, will definitely look out for them.

Just out of curiosity, who would you be leaning towards out of Sum 41 or Don Broco?

Youd have to like the heavier side for Code Orange like.

I'd probably choose Sum 41 because it being a festival means you'll probs just get a greatest hits set. Broco are alright though tbf. Good time either way

I don't get a lot of the shouts. For example Abba. I'm not a fan as such. Nor do I hate them. I would never consider them overrated though. The people I know who like them don't seen to have any pretentions about what they are. ie. A band who consistantly churned out catchy pop tunes. Never heard anyone claim they've made a massive contribution to music or have an enormous influence on bands that followed

 

[roydo]

have an enormous influence on bands that followers.

Brotherhood of Man and Bucks Fizz.

Not exactly an indelible legacy. Abba were ace though.

Abba are amazing, you're right they are literally pop hit making machines. Like the Bee Gees or Lennon and McCartney, it's not just that they've made a lot of songs ,it's the sheer volume of timeless hits.

I took a lot of rips for loving them as a teenager but i didn't care, they are wonderful.

They were very good at what they did. They are one of those bands that I don't actively seek out but I enjoy a lot of their songs when I hear them

Yeah I'm sure a lot of people thought a line Up of 2 girls and 2 boys was the magic formula. Abba happened to be quite talented performers, composers and arrangers

Cant believe RATM was in this list, Coldplay yes, Savage Garden yes

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

The Libertines were pure overrated trash whose cheap appeal was that scruffy junkie Doherty.

U2, Coldplay, and Razorlight all good shouts I've seen throughout the thread.

I really loved Up the bracket, i thought it was a great album. Or there were great moments anyway.

 

[roydo]

Anyone mentioned Portishead yet? Even though I live there, pretty mundane to me.

 

[mawders]

Arctic Monkeys
Blur

Ok, maybe not of all time but i really cant stand those bands

Docherty is a prize arse, but they are one of the best bands I’ve ever seen live.

From start to finish, the whole gig was like a massive party.

Moby is a tw@ too
