Overrated.
Whilst ripping some cd's, a Led Zeppelin one (2) appeared at the top of my pile. It got me thinking about artists who i think are overrated.
I've tried listening to them loads over the years but i never seem to "get" them.
So i came up with 3 Artists / Groups who i think are not as good as people say.
1. Led Zep
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. R.E.M.
The Rolling Stones just missed out, as did U2, Coldplay & Radiohead.
Oasis
The Streets
Oasis, Coldplay and anything from the early 70's California scene.
JohnDuncan:Oooo this one'll run and run (and somebody'll get banned).
1. Radiohead
2. Coldplay
3. The Beatles
JD. 1 and 3 outrageous comment!!!!!!
I would go:
1. The Rolling Stones (apart from Sympathy For The Devil)
2. Coldplay
3. The Beach Boys
Of course I would say Elvis if it was artists and not bands.
1) Genesis
2) Bob Dylan
3) U2
JohnDuncan:Oooo this one'll run and run (and somebody'll get banned).
1. Radiohead
2. Coldplay
3. The Beatles
And that somebody will be me if anyone else has anything else disparaging to say about Stipe n co, awight? Shiny happy people was a mere glitch, as were the 1st 3 albums.
Think on. You know it makes sense.
Agree with all other selections tho. especially the beatles. tho radiohead have had their good moments.
Anyone heard bout coldplay being accused of plagiarism by joe satriani? put a big silly grin on me face for some reason. i guess im easily amused.
I was listening to Five Live this afternoon and was it was interesting hearing that Coldplay are being sued by rock guitarist Joe Satriani, who claims Viva La Vida uses one of his riffs. They played both songs and I'm inclined to agree with him.
I like all three of these bands and own their records but I still agree with John they are all overrated. I also think Elvis was vastly overrated.

1.the smiths/morrisey

I don't believe any band/artist ÿare overrated. People buy and listen and like what they like. It's all personal choice.
ÿ
If i have to say 3 I personally don't understand why the intense popularity tho...
ÿ
1.Jeff Buckley. Good voice, rubbish songs apart from the covers... IMO
2.Almost any "girl-power" type act, or indeed "boyband" boyzone, take that, girls aloud... all unlistenable to me apart from the occaisional song
3. Robbie WIlliams. An idiot with no unique talent aprt from being a stroppy, annoying whinger. "Angels" was good tho.
ÿ
ÿ
How the Beatles can be uttered here is beyond me. They have influenced music more than any band ever, or will ever.ÿ

Yeah but that's the way he worded it - how you don't really 'get' how other people can like them so much. And so it is with The Beatles for me. I didn't say they were rubbish. Though I could start a thread on that.......
pudley:How the Beatles can be uttered here is beyond me. They have influenced music more than any band ever, or will ever.
they were still rubbish
I dont think the only good buckley stuff was his covers, but i do see your point - there's a lot o rubbish there. mind, so much has been released that he has had no choice in since his death.
He must be proud of his mam.
Ahem.
by the by, being as i know you're watching, ill repeat what i said in another thread the other day - to whom it may concern, i lost all me email contacts in a big crash a few days ago. just so you know.
