i was thinking of starting an overrated/underated thread, was a good laugh on the xfm board back in the day
their first album was passable, second was alright.. but formulaic (sp) never bothered with them since as it all seems too predictable and exceptionally dull
for me it has to be Oasis.... fair play to them back in the day they put out some good stuff, but in the 15? years since definatly maybe, they really dont sound any different, and by that i mean same cords, same melody... seen them live quite a few times, the first was ace because you know every song and the atmosphere is ace, the second you realise that they arnt even that musically spot on, and any gig after just seems less good/shiney.... not a popular opinion i know, but the last couple of times i seen them i left dissapointed
mmm.. first and second albums fantastic, didn't bother with the middle albums but i thought dont belive the truth was goodOriginally Posted by steely dan

seen oasis at wembly back around 2000 was fantastic the saw them a notts and they shit, saw them a few years ago at man city ground and they were very good.
did go to see travis at sherwood pines last year they were alright, better live than on cd.
U2 - Nothing but boring middle of the road rock.
R.E.M
I liked Shiney Happy People but that was it. That new one is crap and people treat them like god. WTF? ... and the guitarist thinks he's the bollocks!
I'm going to pull your head off because i don't like your head!
i know someone who worked on the oasis album that was binned a couple of years back,he said they aint got a clue.done all the copying now and don't have an original thought.but why would you give a shit with all that moneywent to shit from the 3rd album on.
the xfm board used to be a good laugh.is it even still alive ? the station aint worth a wank anyway now!

Always thought with oasis that they released two of the best albums ever, first (in my opinion) so they were always going to be impossible to follow up. Some stuff since has been pretty good, just overshadowed by their old stuff.
I think noel gallagher is massively talented. Good on guitar, excellent lyrics and a far better singer than liam. A few of the acoustic solo sets he used to do were absolutely awesome.
Could never see what the all the fuss was about with Oasis, all they ever seemed to do was play regurgitated rock n roll, never anything that hadn't already been done by bands from the 60's and 70's.
Music was average but the vocals were just bloody irritating.
Just my opinion.
im glad its not just me, i usually get shot down in flames to moment i say that
there is still and xfm board of sorts. but they changed the daytime format completely and brought out some crappy 'interactive' thing. basically like a myface x-list jukebox thing... their big claim was that you could pick all the songs you wanted.. so its alot like playing all your own music but with them repeated 3 times a day and adverts inbetween (no Djs 10-4)and there was a whole 'web community' thing to go with it... i wrote emails to them and said they'd finally killed xfm with the most rediculous idea ever, altho it be fair it was dieing a slow death anyway... havent listened since, 6music is better but still a bit too radio2 for my liking
Oasis have done alot for guitar sales tho
Have to agree with U2, Sunday Bloody Sunday and other early tracks very good but gone down hill ever since, lots of bands seem to get lost up their own arse and move away from the style/music that made them famous. I guess I shouldn't critisise for bands wanting to move on but they normally make a real hash of it
Pobably get shot down now but I think The Beatles and Rolling Stones are very over rated, nothing more than average in my book.
ahh, nice thread idea, Coldplay should be banished to the depths of hell where they come from
All I got for christmas was a sweater, I really wanted a moaner or a screamer......
Have to agree with Jon, on the Beatles, don't see what the fuss is all about. okay so maybe a few good tracks in their time but, people who idolise every last note, are taking it a bit to far. Some of the hippy stuff really makes me wonder if they weren't just peddling rubbish music, in a over indulgent drug induced scam. Just my thoughts you understand...
Bruce Springsteen ....
" i've got a great lyric ..its ' born in the USA' .. what do you all reckon ?"
"yeah its great Bruce "
"ok heres the song.........
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born In the USA "
"but Bruce what about some more lyrics"
"ok i'll make it political........ pass me the newspaper .. ohh yeah Vietnammmm baby"
Sorry but its a crap song and the only other song that the vast majority of people can name is from an oscar winning movie. Its a good song .. but thats 2 songs from one of the biggest artist in America ..
Oh and Micheal Jacksons music should be banned ... his music put him in a position of trust which he abused. He should join Jonathen King and Gary Glitter. Never did rate thriller .. good video though.
The Beatles .. happy pop songs? or messages? dunno.. as for Imagine, shame its from a speech by Adolph Hitler. 'cos i really like that song.
Buddy Holly .. 14 month career and not one song written by him.. and yet his up in the all the greats ???
The best Musician since 1968 ..... David Bowie .. even when hes taking the piss out of the music press he writes a winner .. The Laughing Gnome.
mark ronsen is very overerated considering he doesn't even write the songs or sing or owt.
The Beatles? They were awesome. The hype isn't for nothing you know. Have you listened to the Magical Mystery Tour album or Abbey Road? John Lennon must have been proud when he composed I Am The walrusGeorge Harrison wrote Something and Here Comes The Sun. Paul came up with Yesterday from a dream he had! ..WTF? Even Ringo had some good moments - Don't Pass Me By is great! These people were not only great song writers but amazing musicians too. How many classic Beatles riffs and lyrics can you think of?
True, David Bowie and other legendary song writers are superior in some ways and may have more of an edge, but the diversity in their back catalogue just doesn't come close. Take The Stones for example; they have put out some great stuff but it's all pretty much based on the same blues and rock and roll progressions. If you want proof that the Beatles were geniuses listen to Michelle, Penny Lane, Help, Happyness Is A Warm Gun... I could go on forever.. well, for a very long time.
Leave The Beatles alone

xfm died a long time ago, i remember when it used to be good, but that was back in 2000. i finally got fucked off when i requested a song to be played, they called me, spoke to me, then edited the phone call to enable them to play a song i didn't request.im glad its not just me, i usually get shot down in flames to moment i say that

i dont get the hype behind kiss
The beasty boys have a few moments of genious followed by utter shite. ill coomunication and same old bullshit are good examples.
Bob Dylan...
I'm going to pull your head off because i don't like your head!
the foo fighter.one good tune monkey wrench then formulaic shite,and even worse cheesy videosjust because you were in nirvana you get away with some awful lyrics just as bad as any boy band. might be great musicians but poor tunes.
i await the onslaught

to be honest, i used to be a massive fan, the first two albums - foofighters, and the colour and the shape were brilliant
everlong was and still is one of my all time fave songs
after that, they got shit
lol atm i have that alphabeat song stuck in my head
listened to the rest of the album and there is some great pop tracks on there but also some really very bad ones
foofighters..... meh never got into them myself
oasis......no thanks we had the beatles no need for a tribute band with a manc accent
travis/coldplay....... sheesh total turd end of story
my fave listens atm are
in rainbows-radiohead
mr wonderfull- fleetwood mac (pete green blues stuff)
lily allen lol dunno why but i love that album
hand built by robots-newton faulkner this surprised me its really very good even if he does look like a ginga rasta
the band(s) & singer(s) i think that are overrated are
Oasis, Razorlight, elvis presley, the beetles , kiss, all of them american bands that were out at the same time motley crue etc, most of the stuff thats out now ie chart music,
i dont think music is as good as it was in the late 60s, 70s or 80s

plenty of good music out there,but you wont find it on shit daytime chart fodder radio or music tv. only a handfull of good radio presenters that are even interested in good music of all types.others are more into furthering their tv add voice over work,or eating in the case of moyles the useless pile of ....the band(s) & singer(s) i think that are overrated are

Moyles....dont get me started on that waste of spaceGave up on Radio One a long time ago, now switch between Virgin and Radio 2
Coldplay, muse, pretty much anything on radio/tv, that rihanna bint pisses me off something rotten(umbarella ella ella ella ay ay, WTF ARE YOU ON ABOUT!!!!????)
muse are just a shouty overloud poor mans radiohead . anything on radio with riley ,radcliffe,lamarr or gideon coe is well worth listening too
i do agree muse are poor, but id say radiohead, u2, rem etc are worse?
Must defend Muse here as they are fantastic live, a league above most of the other crap around them.
She's built like a Steakhouse, but handles like a Bistro
i,ve heard from a mate who's a roadie that they are the best musicians he has seen ,but they sound like a big mumbled mess to me.radiohead worse than muse,get those ears cleaned out
moyes is a fat fooking twat-i do wanna smash him bad.
fellas there just has'nt been a better front man than liam for fooking years FACT imo.some of there later stuff has'nt been up to the mark but tell me a group/singer etc that has not made one shit tune. you car'nt as it has'nt happened.
it comes back to the type of music people are in to i think.
radiohead are a class class group again imo
u2,beattles,elvis are overated imo.
then on the other hand you get groups like the bluetones that didnt get the recognition that they imo deserverd
Im gonna get shot but im gonna say metallica, not that their shite or anything ,still listen to em but theres lots of better bands out there(pantera, megadeth to name a couple)
i'll add some i think are
queen - far to gay and cheesy. the songs don't flow well either
iron maiden - good guitars, awful voice
guns & roses - it's all bad
metallica - they are ok but soooo massively overatted
my chemical panic-dance at the fall out disco - hate all three bands as they sound exactly the same. all moaning spoilt kids
i could go on forever
Will someone please tell me why the Beatles are over-rated? There's a lot on here that i don't agree with and a lot that I do. I really think that people should justify their choice and have a bit of a think about it because some of these bands are legendary .. Queen? The reasons given for them being over-rated were .. well, not exactly good reasons.
Remember what Frank Zappa said - 'Jazz hasn't gone off, it just smells funny'
I'm going to pull your head off because i don't like your head!
for me i cant stand The Foo Fighters..
Their none offensive mild rock is so gash, this is dave grohl for god sake, the John Bonham obsessed drummer from Nirvanna, just all sounds the same now, just wish theyd go sick and put a bit of effort in.
Also chilli peppers, saw them at leeds fest last year and turned out to be the biggest dissapointment and most boring band ive ever watched.
i saw them at reading... what a waste of time... although I saw them at earls court a few months prior to the carling weekend and they were quite good.
sit down stupid boy
queen - far to gay and cheesy. the songs don't flow well either
and anyone critiquing muse for anything at all, sit down also, their lyrics, music arrangement etc etc are all spot on, one very few modern bands of today doing anything original

A lot of things have changed...........but turbosport isnt one of them
X-PACK:
I agree in a way, but sometimes you can just listen to a band and it does nothing, Queen as a band were fantastic, one of the best, not because of heavy riffs, not because john deacon and brian may were fantasic musicians but because it all just gelled, and Freddie knew how to control a crowd. My only complaint with queen was roger taylor just did the same beat pretty much to most songs.
its all a matter of opinion at the end of the day, i dont like muse coz i think they over use effects, as a blues musician i think if you cant play it with just a guitar and an amp then you shouldnt play it, but doesnt mean there shit, just means i dont like them.
Still cant beat Led Zeppelin lol.. they dick on every1
AgreedStill cant beat Led Zeppelin lol.. they dick on every1
I do think Queen were overrated abit tho, yes they are good musicians, i just dont think they're as good as everyone makes them out to be.
I do think the Sex Pistols were overrated too.
me too, although they are still brilliantAgreed
I do think the Sex Pistols were overrated too.
