Most over rated band ever....

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Ha! Well in Zeb.

[Section_31]

You actually do:

Ouch, in American legal circles that's what they call the head shot.

[Bjornebye]

Hahahaha

 

I think I was being sarcastic but touché.

[Stu Monty]

Talented artists do not always make a good team regardless of that talent.

Radiohead's stuff is both too depressing and too slow for my own musical tastes,and Pink Floyd just dont do anything to tickle my musical tastebuds.

 

Unless you absolutely cannot stand Yorke's voice there is at least one Radiohead song for everyone, including plenty of not very slow or depressing at all tunes. Got a pretty wide variety of stuff. I've had a few people who "don't like Radiohead" listen to stuff I'm playing and ask what it is because it's good; and find out it's Radiohead.

 

 

[rubble-rouser]

Primal Scream

[PestiRed]

The entire output of any band labelled as either prog rock or new romantic

 

You can probably add grime to that list but I've refused to listen to enough of it to have a proper opinion on it

 

And 2-step garage, especially Craig David

Craig fuckin David , what shit. He's a bit of local hero here and countless people claim they where in the same school as him.

The Kaiser Chiefs like a lot others the songs they put out are more like anthems.

[Trumo]

I mentioned White Stripes and The Strokes a few days ago. You can add Razorlight to that list.

[Section_31]

Elbow. Guy Garvey is too overweight to sing so he gets the crowd to do it while a randomly placed choir boy does the rest. Widely lauded as some genius band based purely on the fact they manage to shoehorn someone playing a viola into every chorus.

The 'one song for everybody' point applies to most bands,I even like a Bucks Fizz song,but this doesnt mean they are a great band. One Swallow doesnt make a Summer(unless you are a 16 year old on holiday in a Caravan Park.)

I don't think it does. Most people could happily name dozens of acts they cannot stand - and often do on here, to be fair. Oh and you just said you like Bucks Fizz. Ha.

[Mook]

Bucks Fizz get a let off for the skirt pulling off thing. That was fucking genius that even Mozart would have to stop and applaud.

[Razoray]

That "Para, Para, Paradise" song by Coldplay has half a billion views on Youtube. Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground has 4 million.

 

I think we'd be better off focusing all the world's energy on finding the IP address of every person that's viewed a Coldplay song made in the last 5 years, then turning up at their homes in the middle of the night and kidnapping them in their sleep, Gestapo style. Before corralling them into a giant intergalactic cannon and firing them unceremoniously towards the next inhabitable star. Let Proxima Centauri deal with their shit.

That's a lot of nights bud.

[Section_31]

Always thought it would have been funny if they pulled off Cheryl baker's skirt and she'd had a great big cock.

Jigsaw's is one hell of a tune.

You are doing a Elbow a massive injustice in my opinion.

 

Guy Garvey is a very charismatic front man. Went to see them in the Echo a few years ago with the missus. Left the gig feeling like I had spent the night enjoying a.few beers with a dead sound fella who can tell a great story.

 

Money well spent.

[aws]

U2, Oasis and Coldplay in that order.

[Kemlyn King]

The land of make believe by the fizz is quite haunting

[Jairzinho]

U2, Oasis and Coldplay in that order.

 

Certainly three of the most challenging to avoid.

Well,the female half anyway.

If you knew what I would have liked to have done to Jay Aston you wouldn't be so quick to mock.

[Alan Sex]

Keep reading the thread title as "Most over rated bend over".

 

Surely, there isn't one.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Coldplay for me but never rated Radiohead although most people do.

Further back Ultravox were cack

If anything, Ultravox are underrated.  Most people think of them as one-hit wonders, but they were two bands for the price of one: John Foxx's arthouse post-punks and Midge Ure's chart-bothering New Romantics (who were brilliant live).

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I like people singing in their own accent. Shack just wouldn't be the same if they used bland trans Atlantic vocals.

Which brings us nicely back to Simple Minds.

 

Apparently, The Proclaimers used to get grief from their record label for singing in their own voices; "But Jim Kerr is Scottish and he sounds normal!"

Throw The R Away by them is boss and covers it pretty well.

I have a lot of respect for people singing in their own accents but the Scottish one just doesn't work for rock music at all for me, it's all in the vowels.

 

I was never a singer but if I had been, I would've been doing my best Smokey Robinson impression.
