"Gotta be coldplay for me..... just don't get them"
Glad I'm not the only one. Not a fan. Only like one tune of theirs - the one with the monkeys in the video |

"Gotta be coldplay for me..... just don't get them
Agreed! I also dont get the whole ed sheeran thing? "
I don't get Ed Sheeran either. Seems to be popular with ladies of a certain age. |

I could name a hundred at least. Most of them have made the pop charts under suspicious circumstances.
Coldplay
Nickel back
U2 (are they politicians now?)
Ed Sheran

Does not liking a band make them overrated?
How do you quantify how a band should be rated?
I don't like the question but I like to join in on music threads
I don't like.....shit I'm struggling to think of a band I don't like that lots do

Well, having heard recent Rolling Stones concerts...them.
To pay that much to see a 40% performance of them at their prime seems to be over rating their worth.
Probably goes for a lot of the Mega bands who don't know when to take it easy. |

U2 are a pain also. The front men of U2 and Coldplay preaching to the masses. Is it just me but I can't stand celebs telling me how I should run my life. |

There's just no escaping him at the moment  "
Is he actually a band though?
I would say, if we are talking solo artists, it' gotta be that West bloke who played Glastonbury a few years ago an proclaimed himself to be......Yeah whatever man, get a grip |

I can totally see why he gets on peoples wick. I think the fact he can behave like a bloody pillock at times causes his music to get a bit underrated though, obviously not by himself!  He does put out quite challenging music for a huge mainstream artist, he's certainly not bland, musically or otherwise. Loved his glasto performance. Now that Jay-Z on the other hand... |

"Now that Jay-Z on the other hand...
If Kanye and him did a duet, who would be the ft. artist? 
They released and album together and did a massive tour
Your point?"
The point being, they've already done duets and were joint billed. |

The real question here is 'what really popular band don't you get?'
I agree with a lot of you (apart from S Club 7, I mean, what the fuck?), but somebody must like them |

Some folk have different taste in music. Mine's eclectic. When Yellow was released I loved it. Spiders and Shiver are also brilliant to me.
If I don't like a band or singer I won't say they are overrated, just not my cuppa.

"Cue the Beatles bashers 
Ok some Beatles songs iffy, but at the time/moment they hit America there were people screaming etc, who idolised them."
The World went mad for them. And there are some damn fine tracks that they produced. Definitely agree there are some damn odd ones too though |

I don't think any of the bands mentioned are overrated. How can they be overrated if they have a big fan base?
I may or may not like them but as for being overrated nah.
There are plenty of bands and solo artists that could do with more exposure though |

not so much "overrated" but here's our little list of popular bands that we don't seem to get any enjoyment from (we're not even considering pop music) sex pistols, the clash, u2, Coldplay, joy division, disturbed (may they die a slow and painful death for doing that god awful cover of "sound of silence") the list could go on but we haven't got all day peace x |

"What, a thread repeated twice in 3 years? This scandal must stop!"
Ha! I know I sound like a grumpy arse! I'm sorry.
Not twice every three years, no. That's just the last time I was on here. I remember reading about Coldplay and U2 being universally loathed, then.
Moaning is good for the soul, I suppose.

I'm with you... apart from one direction.
All of those made their reputations by being really good live acts, and even if I don't like the music you have to respect it (Before Oasis became the bootleg beetles )
Worst band has to be anything that once contained Cheryl Cole (or whatever her name is now) |

For me it's when you say you don't like a certain/band artist and people have this over the top incredulous reaction.
'what do you mean you don't like them?'
Maybe some one should start an underrated bands thread. |

Agree with this, who can say if a band is over rated and who is doing the over rating? Using The Beatles as an example they sold over 1 billion units (singles, albums CDs and cassettes, remember them) so how can they ever appear in an over rated thread. In a which band don’t you like thread, fine but over rated, afraid not. |

With The Beatles, the damn fine tracks and the damn odd tracks were the same ones, lol.
I'd agree with Coldplay and Radiohead as massively over-rated.
As an aside, bunch of oldies were talking about Elvis at work and one of the kids said "I can't stand his voice, can't understand how he got that big", to which I responded "Cos he didn't eat anything that wasn't deep fried after 1961". Think I misunderstood him. |

Very true, I mean around 1billion units/records.
Don't think many bands will surpass that amount.
And that amount of records sums up the Beatles longevity/mass appeal.
Goodness, Paul McCartney STILL singing Beatles songs. |
