Larsen B Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Pointless thread, will just consist of people listing bands often considered "seminal" who they don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Pointless thread, will just consist of people listing bands often considered "seminal" who they don't like.I dunno, there could be some interesting points made. There's been plenty of worse thread ideas...Anyhoo, my vote would probably be Razorlight. They have no songs. They have three minute introductions that go nowhere and do nothing. Pish, yet they somehow get raved about quite frequently. Therefore imo overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 should this not be a musical discussion?For the record i think the enemy are the most overatted shite ive ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calumunderkills Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Haha, I like The Enemy and Razorlight...I think U2 are very over-rated. I do like them, but the hype that surrounds them as being one of the best ever bands in my opinion isn't merited.I also think the Foo Fighters are massively over-rated. I've seen them live 3 times, and find about half their sets quite boring. The singles are generally really good, and Dave Grohl is a really good performer, but I don't think they're as good as everyone makes out! But I think I'm in the minority there because at the gigs I've been at, everyone is going totally mental for them...!I think artists like Kylie and Madonna are total garbage, but again have this massive hype surrounding them, and they can sell out stadium tours etc. I just don't get it.

Skacel Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'd agree with razorshite and the foo'sI would also add the killers and pendulum. Is it just me or does every pendulum song have the exact same drum beat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistersticks Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'd agree with razorshite and the foo'sIs it just me or does every pendulum song have the exact same drum beat?every single tune is based around the same scale as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calumunderkills Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'd agree with razorshite and the foo'sI would also add the killers and pendulum. Is it just me or does every pendulum song have the exact same drum beat?Pendulum songs are all instantly recognisable cos they all sound the same!

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 The Ting Tings.Their drummer is creepy and old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 the ting tings are probably the worst band i've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Their drummer is creepy and old.This is true. And doesn't play his drums properly when performing 'live' on tv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkt Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Guns 'N' Roses...songs are bland, 3rd rate Rolling Stones, terrible dated production, annoying voice and the solos are rubbish. Why do people like them?The Jesus And Mary Chain...I actually like the Jesus and Mary Chain but I don't think they are quite worthy of the godlike praise they receive...(also file The Velvet Underground in this category) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I always feel embarrassed admitting that I quite like the Ting Tings...U2 are definitely one of the most overrated bands ever. A few great tracks aside, they're as average as you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron_Robertson Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Scouting For Girls - As they only seem to have one tune for every song.Probs gonna be hated for this but Led Zepplin I think are highly over rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 led zepplin surely cannot be described as overatted, they helped change the shape of music they obviously had/have a lot of talent.another of mine would have to be kasabian or glasvegas, i just dont get either of those bands.

WoodyRATM Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 IMO kings of leon and The killers are both over rated.I've saw both live and heard their albums and just find them really boring... (with the exeption of the 1st killers album which was okay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Giles Walker Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have always been of the opinion that Muse are overrated but i have never met anyone who agrees with me. I tried to listen to one of their albums but Tbh i think an underrated bands thread would be better than this, more positive as well.

scottyboy Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think also Muse are overrated (not necessarily bad, just not that great). These days I think Led Zeppelin are overrated, but at one point they were one of my favourite bands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKA the brando Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 i kinda agree about muse, however the live show is there bread and butter and it would be hard to argue with that (a million lasers or not).dont think the ting tings and scouting for girls can be classed as overrated can they? just a couple of bands who are loved by kids (in the same mould as bob the builder).- The Kooks - Hard fi- Kaiser Cheifs- Pink Floyd (just cant get it at all?) iv tried so hard!- Bon Jovi- Led Zeppelin (i actually really like them but, not the greatest rock band ever etc. some amazing songs but, also some very below average ones too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
