I can remember in the late '90s/Early '00s, being retrospectively a fan of the Beatles was quite trendy.

My parents came to visit me, and happened to mention that they had seen the Beatles a few times, and upon being asked what it felt like to see them, I can remember my mum saying that they were pretty rubbish, and just happened to be on. She went on to tell my friend that they were the kind of crap your granny liked and if you were actually cool, you liked the Yardbirds....

Oasis had one album of any note - and apparently this is because (according to Noel) He'd written most of the songs before Oasis had really started. So he put the best ones on the first album, the next best on the second album and so on.

I've been a fan of Radiohead since the beginning. Never felt like seeing them live though, I could be wrong, but they strike me as very much a "sit at home and listen" type band (especially everything post OK Computer), which I enjoy doing.

Thank god someone else said Pink Floyd.

I really don't get it.

As a musician myself, I really rate the Beatles - some really top notch songwriting - but there is a lot of strange stuff that should never have been released - "Yellow Submarine" for a start.

Unfortunately a lot of bands get popular then we are bombarded with them because the record companies, radio stations etc have no imagination and won't take risks, then we get sick of them and don't rate them.

The truth is every band/artist I don't like is over rated. But that's just my opinion.

Hooray for coming up with something original!

Seriously though why do these kind of threads just end up with people saying the same names as the previous few posters? There have been thousands of bands and so many were overrated but we can only name a dozen between us...

So I don't fall I to the same trap here's a new one - Take That... Though you can exchange them for any bland boy/girl band of the past few decades if you like

"Stone Roses

Happy Mondays

... The Beatles

Oh dear

Why 'oh dear'

The beatles are definitely overrated..

They were only a band for 5 yrs and most of that time they spent on stages being screamed at so no one could hear their music anyway.. then they split up and that should have been the end of them.. "

That's what records were for!

Think they sold a couple over the years!!!

"Funny how this post has listed a lot of the most iconic best selling bands of the last two generations..

That's because people follow fads and believe hype.

I think most people in the world rate bands by their live performances, - which is why the cream rises to the top.

Kate bush based her career on studio performances. It can be done if you have the talent.

yeah but hardly a world icon.

By the time bands/people achieve "world icon" stage, their interesting work is usually behind them.

that's partly true but most never get there unless they're brilliant at performing 'live'

You can be a great live act but still not have very interesting content/ideas."

Very true,king kurt were an amazing live 'experience'but,bless 'em,the music was, by no stretch of the imagination,great or highly original.

They didn’t bring anything new. They just copied the sound that was popular in America at the time. Their popularity came from the states were they were a novelty act

So here is my input............. the sex pistols.

Privately educated middle class twats, pretending to to be anti establishment and for the people.

In fact when you look back at it, pretty much all punk was crap. It just goes to show that that music as very much a put of our lives and we may like certain music at certain times.

Punk = when kids wanted to be heard.

Dance = when people were off their tits.

Boy bands = when looks were more important than talent.

The Manchester scene = when people saw no future for themselves.

And so on

I would consider overrated bands as the ones that have sold tens of millions of records, but probably shouldn’t have. I very much doubt that any band from the 2000’s has reached that milestone. So are not worthy of being considered as overrated.

"So here is my input............. the sex pistols.

"

Whilst I agree that the Pistols are given a lot more credit musically than they are possibly due, and in fact were as manufactured and manipulated as most boy bands, they were at the forefront (possibly by design) of breaking down a lot of barriers that did away with the way music was heading back then.

As for them being "Privately educated middle class" - that's totally incorrect, with the possible exception of Glen Matlock, they were all from working class council estate backgrounds and educated in state schools, which they spent most of their time bunking off from - in fact John Lydon missed a large part of his education due to meningitis.

You may be getting confused with The Clash who were from more privileged backgrounds

Seriously???? The doors where so far ahead of their time. Awesome band. The stone roses are the band of a generation. How can led zep be on there? So many classic songs. And the who? Dont get it. But we all entitled to our opinions.

For me it would be coldplay and most of paul McCartney outwith the beatles. G
