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

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

Even listening to sabbath day in day out can become a bit much

I try and have Thursdays off

Or every other Thursday

I will occasionally listen to the first six Sabbath albums consecutively. Great way to spend an afternoon.

I think the Talking Heads are overrated. I think Prince is is overrated. It doesn't mean I don't like them or that I don't they're talented or influential. For me, they just get a bit too much love. Discuss.

First 4 Talking Heads albums are classics. Then they just got a bit too commercial. I consider them under rated if anything.

As for Prince, probably the single most talented musician of the last 40 years. It’s impossible to over rate him.

simple minds

i could stomach the once upon a time album but thats it

Why do I get the feeling you’ve never heard Empires and Dance, sons & Fascination, Sister Feelings Call or New Gold Dream?

I don't think Limp Bizkit are overrated. They were successful. But I think they're widely considered to be shit.

Being a talented musician doesn't count for much if the majority of your ideas are boring.

Definitely. Some people don't rate Sabotage. But I love it. I bought their last album, listened to it once and it's OK. Apart from that, I don't think I've listened to anything from Technical Ecstasy onwards in the last 40 years.

First six great

The Mob Rules with Dio on vocals has its moments as does Heaven And Hell but like all bands they had their time then fell apart

Ozzys solo stuff with randy Rhodes was good

But the last studio album was nothing new

I saw the original line up in 1998 reunion tour when ozzy and Bill ward made up , Milton Keynes bowl on a summer night , amazing gig , ward was off the drink , ozzy was off the coke

They played for 3 hours , really tight but even then it was thanks lads , time to knock it on the head

Thats 22 years ago ff sake

Did you see Ozzy at Sophia Gardens? I wish I'd gone to that. I don't know why I didn't. Maybe because I was going to Motorhead and The Jam around the same time. I probably thought it wasn't worth even asking if I could go out.

A brilliant musician that imo couldn't write a song that was catchy without being exciting/original

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

My opinion of the Arctic Monkeys is much like yours it seems, but you appear to me to be saying that I cannot feel exactly the same way about Queen who were a much hyped band when they first appeared in the mid seventies and stayed that way for most of their existence while Freddie Mercury was still alive.

No, not all. I was merely trying to point out disliking a band is different to saying they are overrated and for me Queen fall into that category.

If you feel Queen are over rated I'm not arguing the point; but would argue the point if your only justifcation was you dont like them.

Does that make sense? I know what I mean anyway :xmashehe:
