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

Re: OK, the gloves are off .......over rated bands
Proof that there are many on here who know **** all about music.
Everything has musical value, even the likes of steps. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its overrated.

The right answer, music is subjective and means different things to different people.

So, using that analogy, there's no point talking about anything being over rated is there?

If your using Steps as an example then maybe your the one who knows **** all about music.😂😂

Anyway enjoy Steps 😂😂

Hard to argue that 70% of young English footballers aren't overrated, nowhere near as subjective or personal to people as music.

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.

Don't be so sensitive, it's clearly a thread where people share their own opinions about bands that are overrated

There can still be bands that are overrated. I doesn't mean bands you don't like are popular. Bands that are revered through the media that you can't see what all the fuss is about. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's not like anyone else would take it too seriously or that anyone would change their mind. Obviously, there will be some peoples' opinions you will value over others'. And of course, some people just don't know what they're talking about. In a previous version of this thread, someone referred to the Beatles as a "boy band".
Anyway, my point is that it's just a bit of fun.
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.

I don't think it's about certain people's opinions I value over others. That's like putting them on a pedestal or admitting they're some kind of music aficionados. They're not. They are probably expressing an opinion you broadly agree with, which is fine. But at the end of the day it's all about musical tastes. Some music either floats your boat or it doesn't. It's as simple as that.
There will always be some fools claiming that the Beatles were a 'boy band' for instance but in an extreme instance like that you either have to re-educate them or leave them to wallow in their ignorance !

Re: OK, the gloves are off .......over rated bands
Nirvana, Amy Winehouse, tupac,
I know 2 aren't bands but their legacy exists solely because they died young and not because they have a huge amount of success.
Music is all opinion the only measurable is numbers.
These people are put on a pedestal but their popularity seems to be more in selling tshirts than selling albums and for that reason are over rated

I'm not a fan of Tupac either, doesn't mean he was overrated, just not a fan of his rap style necessarily.
I suppose the title of the post should be "popular artists that you personally think are shite".

Can you explain to me how Amy Winehouse is overrated? The consensus seems to be that she had a remarkable voice and wrote some great songs. Seems about right to me. No one is suggesting she invented anything new.

She must have sold a lot of ****ing t shirts if she sold more T-shirt’s than albums!!!

Re: OK, the gloves are off .......over rated bands
I can think of many manufactured bands more interested in selling merchandise than albums but to claim Nirvana, Amy Winehouse and Tupac of this strategy is absolutely absurd :hehe:
Cobain, Winehouse and Tupac were all immensely talented.

Along with Nas he was probably the most influential hip hop star of a generation before his untimely death. Yes he’s sold more albums as a result of his death but also because his music still resonates with future generations. He rapped about social issues which still haven’t been addressed today.
Overated? Sold more T-shirt’s than albums? The man has sold over 75m albums ffs :hehe:
