Most over rated band ever....

[cloggypop]

If you could name more than one member of that band then i'd know you weren't just being a dick. They weren't brilliant even by their own admission but fuck right off. You have named the Rolling Stones in this thread. Your musical opinion is null and void.

Liam Gallagher and Andy Bell (who used to be in Ride then Hurricane #1).

 

Does that mean I can call them absolute gash now?

Negged for starting yet another cunting thread on a subject that currently dominates about 97% of the General Forum.

To be fair beans, monkey's and knives, binbagging and searching for the next Lothario on the date thread make up a bit more than 3%.

[Boss]

I reckon Lost Lady Luck would produce a better album than Beady Eye if you let them loose in Abbey Road Studios for the amount of time Liam had to make an album.

When I was a teenager I thought the Stones and The Who were old and past it (I was 14-18 in mid-80s).

 

The Who are playing a 50th anniversary tour???

 

Why?

 

You know the greatest comedy of all time?

 

Fawlty Towers. They only did 12 episodes.

The Who were finished in the mid 70s, round about the same time as The Stones.

 

Both bands were fucking amazing from about '67 to '73.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Whole heap of neg this thread.

 

The Stones is a good call, especially as they haven't done anything relevant for 40 years, but prior to that they were good.  Most heavy rock/metal leaves me cold, but I wouldn't say Led Zeppelin were over-rated.

Since the early Seventies they've been the world's best Rolling Stones tribute band.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I've started listening to absolute radio recently, and they play The Clash quite often. I've tried to understand the hype surrounding The Clash , but i just don't get it. Average lyrics, shit vocals, shit tunes.Who gets your vote ? 

 

Should I Stay or Should I Go and Rock the Casbah are probably the worst things the Clash ever did.  They also account for probably 90% of the mainstream airplay the Clash get.

[General Dryness]

Metallica. Lars Ulrich is beyond shadow of a doubt the biggest cunt who ever lived.

 

Kiss. If you could draw a graph where rich was the Y axis, and actual talent was X, it would be a vertical line very close to the left. Just shite.

The worst thing they ever did was everything on Cut The Crap that isn't This Is England.

 

[Josef Svejk]

The Clash? The Ramones?

 

Fucking hell...

[littletedwest]

The rolling Stones made "gimme shelter" therefore it's almost impossible to overate them even if the rest of their career was on a musical par with the frog chorus

[Joe Strummer]

That was The Clash by name only. I don't even remember the names of the people who replaced Mick Jones and Topper Headon.

Me neither. They all had daft mohawks though.

[Paul]

The Stones are one of the biggest bands of all time but I think their records fall slightly below that level. There was nothing especially new or unique about them, whereas The Beatles just continually innovated while at the very top of the tree.

[Kemlyn King]

Muse seem to be the new Queen. Who held the title for years

[cloggypop]

Muse are terrible. I once saw them while full of MDMA and had to run away to the other side of the festival so I couldn't hear them. Horrendous stuff. Good light show like.

[ZonkoVille77]

So are weer all in agreement that it's Coldplay?

They're massive but if you can't get into it in that state...pure dogshit!

[Joe Strummer]

Pretty much. Music for people 'who aren't really that much into their music'.

 

Muse are also wankers.

Ha!

 

Would knowing any of their names make their music sound better then? I had a mad idea that actually hearing the music gave you more basis to form an opinion than knowing who the fuck was making the racket.

 

The stuff I heard (on national radio stations) wasn't fit for a pub band. Hence how they were over-rated...because people rated them highly enough to play their dross on the radio.

[Pureblood]

The Foo fucking Fighters.

[cloggypop]

The Foo fucking Fighters.

As a fellow massive Subpop fan, I don't get them either. Dave Grohl is a nice bloke and very entertaining live but damn they are dull. My mate's a drummer in a Foo Fighters cover band and they get gigs everywhere.

[Bjornebye]

The Foo Fighters are brilliant. One of the best live bands around.

[cloggypop]

They are entertaining enough live, yes. Fuck knows why anybody buys the records though.

[General Dryness]

I heard a saying once "Wherever you are in the world, you're never more than ten feet away from a Foo Fighters album". Ubiquitous is a great word.

 

Agree on Muse, although I still love Origin of Symmetry and to a lesser extent Absolution and Showbiz. They disappeared up their own Supermassive Black Holes after Absolution though.
