"Coldplay I was just going to put them.. I could hit Chris Martin square in the face "Oh I so agree. I don’t think I could ever tire of punching him in the face.

"Oasis The Beatles Arctic Monkeys " Adding Cold Play | |||
"Queen" I agree. I've never understood the praise for the screechy bombastic nonsense. | |||
| |||
| |||

| |||

"Elastic, you struggle for ages to get them round something, thinknyour finally getting there for the wretched thing to snap." I see what you did there! Valid points however..haha | |||
"Which bands in your opinion are overrated." There are many bands that loads seem to be into but I'm not a fan of... but who's right, them or me? (Obviously it's me) Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, The Smiths, Happy Mondays, and Metallica, are all bands I've struggled to get into. Cal | |||

"U2 Bono’s pontificating about stuff is not what I want at a gig. " Most of them do....... | |||
 | |||
| |||
"Aqua " How can you possibly say that. Pioneers! | |||
| |||
| |||
"Oasis Just a pair of gobby plasterers making a racket and fighting one another" Agree! | |||
"Aqua " I'm sorry what the actual fuck?! | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"Kings of Leon - nothing against them nor suggesting they are a 'bad' band - but - it always baffled my how they managed to headline so many major festivals so many times. " Agreed. Their first two albums were brilliant. Some absolutely awesome chunes on both. But with as with a lot of bands, with fame and popularity comes mediocrity. That raw sound they had was lost by the time "Only By The Night" came out and the awful "Sex On fire". | |||
"Oasis Just a pair of gobby plasterers making a racket and fighting one another Agree!" That’s because you’re not a Manc and probably listen to Alfie Boe whilst gorging on prawn sandwiches drinking Perrier water from posh glasses? | |||
| |||
"Oasis, " That’s because you’re not...........see above! | |||
| |||

"Oasis, That’s because you’re not...........see above!" no it because they are, were (1998 in Jesery) Shite,, And anorak man is Tinfoil on a sanes man fillings, | |||

That raw sound they had was lost by the time "Only By The Night" came out and the awful "Sex On fire". " I was always confused about their "emergence" in 2009 with Sex On Fire when I had seen them in 2003 at Rock City in Nottingham. They did have some good songs, but seemed to be stuck in the 70's | |||
| |||
"The Rolling Stones " A handful of decent songs. Although I do admire that they can always pull a decent crowd. Oasis has been mentioned...first 3 albums were good. | |||
| |||
"Oasis, That’s because you’re not...........see above! no it because they are, were (1998 in Jesery) Shite,, And anorak man is Tinfoil on a sanes man fillings, "Well I beg to differ. Madchester lives ! | |||
"Sam Smith. Marital duties involved me sitting through one of his concerts, whiney voice and depressing songs. " To be honest I try not to listen to the lates crop of song killers as they are awful | |||

" I was always confused about their "emergence" in 2009 with Sex On Fire when I had seen them in 2003 at Rock City in Nottingham. They did have some good songs, but seemed to be stuck in the 70's" Yeah, "Sex On Fire" made them. That's when they became mainstream. But they lost that edge..the grittyness they had. Even their appearance. Initially they were very unkempt. In 2003, Christian O'Connell on Xfm described them as the hairiest band in the world. By 2009 they had stylish haircuts and a new wardrobe. Its a shame, but that's the business. Do you want to make edgy raw rock music and earn some money. Or bland vanilla rock and make millions. | |||

"Oasis, That’s because you’re not...........see above! no it because they are, were (1998 in Jesery) Shite,, And anorak man is Tinfoil on a sanes man fillings,
Well I beg to differ.
Madchester lives !"Absolutely. Big Madchester fan. Oasis, James, The Charlatans, Joy Division, The Smiths, The Stone Roses. Im genuinely shocked to see so many votes for Oasis. Are people choosing them because the band is overrated? Or because of their dislike of the Gallaghers and their attitude?? The Killers/Brandon Flowers. Hot Fuss was an epic album. So many great tunes. Then Sams Town...yeah, one or two decent songs. Since then...absolute tosh. | |||
"Overrated...... Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, Elbow, Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Adele. Been listening to an American musician called Louis Cole. Cool & funky stuff....his own music & one of his bands - Knower. All good. He has an extreme jazz/funk/grind core band called Clown Core...not for the faint of heart. Bloody love it. Check the on YouTube. " Adele’s first album was really good, all crap since. | |||

The Killers/Brandon Flowers.
Hot Fuss was an epic album. So many great tunes.
Then Sams Town...yeah, one or two decent songs.
Since then...absolute tosh. "of all the bands you mentioned all were cracking The Charlatans and the Roses and James being my Favourites, The amount of cracking songs they produced make them great (GREAT BANDS) Oasis had 4/5 cracking tunes the rest was hype, Didn't help that Liam lived off of the 1996 to early 2000 hype and was a total bellend since,, | |||
"Rolling stones " Only been going for 60 years and still filling arenas. Always laugh at people on these threads that mention The Beatles and Rolling Stones. | |||
| |||
"“ Thou shalt not put musicians and recording artists on ridiculous pedestals no matter how great they are or were. The Beatles: Were just a band. Led Zepplin: Just a band. The Beach Boys: Just a band. The Sex Pistols: Just a band. The Clash: Just a band. Crass: Just a band. Minor Threat: Just a band. The Cure: Were just a band. The Smiths: Just a band. Nirvana: Just a band. The Pixies: Just a band. Oasis: Just a band. Radiohead: Just a band. Bloc Party: Just a band. The Arctic Monkeys: Just a band. The Next Big Thing... JUST A BAND.”" I noticed that you haven't mentioned Fleetwood Mac in there. Not just a band? | |||
"Queen"  sacrilegious quote of the decade | |||
| |||
"I noticed that you haven't mentioned Fleetwood Mac in there. Not just a band? "I was just quoting from a song. It’s not an exhaustive list.  | |||
"I noticed that you haven't mentioned Fleetwood Mac in there. Not just a band?
I was just quoting from a song. It’s not an exhaustive list. "Ahhh, of course it is. "Thou Shalt Always Kill" by....er....Scroobius? (Or something like that). | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"Anything beige and boring. I reserve most hate for Simply Red though. Glad to see that Oasis are disliked, they weren't at the time." Haha I know. I reckon Mick Hucknall is one of the most hated men in Manchester. | |||
"Queen sacrilegious quote of the decade"Nah. Queen are crap. Another band where the instantly recognisable front man sadly died way to early. Therefore everyone thinks the band is amazing. Same with Nirvana. | |||
| |||
| |||

"Aqua I'm sorry what the actual fuck?!" Brucey Girl  | |||

"Which bands in your opinion are overrated." Elastic ones. Sellotape is far better! | |||

"Oh I am LOVING this thread!!! Some of it is hilarious! Now of course people are free to choose whoever they like. And I am sure some comments here are designed to purely "trigger" or "troll". But its the reasons some feel a certain act is overrated that is splitting my sides with often ludicrous historical and/or factual inaccuracy making me guffaw the most! Keep it up! I love it! " Please enlighten us with your superior knowledge. | |||

So I don't want to single out any individual. . But people suggesting that certain acts are only famous/popular due to the death and subsequent almost 'canonisation' of said 'iconic' member when said acts had already enjoyed chart topping, stadium filling and festival headlining success simply proves that this isn't the case. Yes the tragic loss may have increased the rating, often to 'god-like' status. But they were very highly regarded already. Certainly not overrated. | |||
"Sam Smith. Marital duties involved me sitting through one of his concerts, whiney voice and depressing songs. " So you had marital duties to fulfill and this meant sitting through a Sam Smith gig..you poor b*stard  | |||
"Oasis The Beatles Arctic Monkeys Adding Cold Play " This is the list for me... | |||
| |||

"Are any bands albums really great. They usually throw 3 or 4 known tracks in with a load off old dross. But in answer to the question. Elvis The Beatles Oasis There are many more…… " including Amy Whine house | |||
| |||
| |||
"Which bands in your opinion are overrated." The entire pop top 40, not that I listen to them. | |||
"AC/DC." Looks like your in a minority of one but I stand to be corrected on this | |||
