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

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Floyd ......some right silly nonsense , after waters left even worse . Wish you were here i can handle just about

Clash .....not into them at all , Londons burning is a great song but thats it , don't understand the fuss

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

[City123]

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

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.

Oasis I can agree with , total shite

Yes - self indulgent crap
Black Sabbath - talentless and just a screeching noise
Genesis - Yes imitators
Cream - painful

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.

[Vindec]

Hawkwind - same as the worst band.

[El Gwapo]

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

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

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.
