Red hot chilli peppers ......first few albums ok but then very samey

Radiohead .....christ no

Stones .....never like that lot

Guns N Roses .......dreadful overhyped Aerosmith copy cats

Manic Street Preachers , Kevin Carter, Motorcycle Emptyness, thats it

Stereophonics .......pub band , annoying voice

AcDc since bon Scott died, one or two good songs but generally just going through the motions

Queen , that live performance at the Hammersmith apollo in 75 was immense but I never saw what the fuss was about after the early days

And the entirety of The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go. Gold Against the Soul & Generation Terrorists have some fantastic riffs that I'd have thought would be exactly your kind of thing. Journal for Plague Lovers & Futurology are two brilliant gems of albums as well

For overrated bands look no further than Oasis. Derivative dirge with relentlessly unpoetic, unimaginative shite lyrics

I just don't get the Manic Street Preachers. Their music is so bland. But the Red Hot Chili Peppers do my head in. WHAT THE ****? They were OK for a short while 30 years ago, but they're still going and doing a lesser version of exactly the same thing and they still get a fair amount of attention when they release new records and when they tour, they play massive festivals and arena shows.

Well, although one or two on here would no doubt try it, I can hardly say it is the end of the conversation for anyone else can I.

Hawkwind - same as the worst band.

Re: OK, the gloves are off .......over rated bands

The OP question is an interesting one but a thread like this often turns into everyone simply listing bands they dont like, understand or get; which for me is a slightly different issue. A few have mentioned Queen. I too dislike Queen but don't consider them over rated just because I dont like them. Just means others have different tastes

To be over rated, I think you have to acknowledge merit in the band but not undertand the level of success or popularity they achieved.

For me, its Arctic Monkeys. I can see how they brought something a bit fresh when they emerged but the hype and press coverage they recieved was well out of proportion
