have to said they would be top of my list in overated bands too

glorified pop band

Karl Hungus · 29-10-2003 4:06am

The White Stripes
The Revs
The Hives
The Thrills
The Strokes
Coldplay
David Gray

And just about every other prescribed pop group/artist parading as "Alternative" music.

Or any throw-away band that is all of a sudden hailed as "THE SAVIOURS OF ROCK!"

Technobob's "Glorified Pop" comment just about describes every so-called 'Indie' band out there, but The Beatles are hardly the worst.

comet · 29-10-2003 10:10am

COLDPLAY (most over-rated band on the planet)

Any old fogey charging ridiculous concert prices

alb · 29-10-2003 1:31pm

Damien Rice

Michael6754 · 29-10-2003 1:35pm

Blur were good in the mid-90's, not now. The White Stripes rule though!

comet · 29-10-2003 2:09pm

Blur's last single "Out of Time" is up there with their best IMO

I agree, however, the rest of 'Think Tank' leaves a lot to be desired. 'Out of Time' is apparently quite an old song, hence not really representitive of the band's present musical direction/talent.

In terms of the original posters statement

I don't think you can put the beatles in there really. Anyway, there's no way they are overrated. Let's be realistic. How exactly are they overrated?

I'd got for The Thrills mainly, and as everyone else is saying most bands that begin with "The...."

Well that’s the latest conspiracy theory any way. Or should I say the most overrated generalise.

And what does "overrated band" mean? – Overrated critically, overrated by public perception or by publicity? (As for the Thrills – at best they’re ok and that’s was I’ve seen from most of the critics whom I usually read.)

I think there’s a lot of unjustified disliking (or even hating) of good artists just because they have a record deal or they have gotten known on their own, and other people complain even when they don’t like the type of music in the first place.

carbonkid · 29-10-2003 8:40pm

blur...oasis...coldplay...all bore the crap out of me
some big fan is probably goin to give out to me
hehe:D

Raggamuffin · 30-10-2003 2:10am

"the" bands.

it's just a name like...

have to say i'd rather tlak about UNDER-rated bands...

i mean at elast that goes somewhere...

personally i feel that the beatles are under rated in some respects...

alot of the public perception of them is twisted towards the polar opposites... I mean CONTEXTS people...

In as far as the 60's were concerned the pairing up of john lennon and paul McCartney was a blessing. (unfortunatly majoirty of solo stuff is bollocks [i don't think i need to even mention paul's contribution to the **** heap])

I mean i personally prefer the White Album in terms of creative versatility but they have so much to offer. If only the term "pop" could be dropped from their description.

I've said too much...

krattapopov · 30-10-2003 3:50pm

the beatles under rated!! for some reason i think that remark is way off the ball, in fact i think they are over rated, quite definitley

Your grandchildren will love The Beatles, quite definatly.

mike65 · 30-10-2003 8:46pm

Kinda hard to under-rate the Beatles as they pretty much invented rock music as we understand it.

I'd vote for U2

Mike.

gucci · 31-10-2003 4:27pm

id have to back the u2 vote as well,few good songs,a whole lotta muck.and the thrills god they make my blood boil,was worked as a machinery operator during the summer....there was one day the thrills was on 2fm,today fm,shannonside fm and radio1 AT THE SAME FREAKING TIME AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH:mad:

luckily i got the cd player fixed the next day and i was back making my ears bleed with metal!

other overrated bands,or basically bands i hate are starsailor and the sterophonics and basically all those sorta bands that the media love to shove down your throat ie. the thrills

ShriekingSheet · 31-10-2003 4:42pm

yeah U2

some fantastic songs, old and new.

the "if i could stayyyyyyyyyy then the night would be enough" one is great but they really have some random crap on their albums!

colincarnate · 31-10-2003 4:49pm

White Stripes
Nirvana, all very good but never did huge-ass stadiums tours by themselves on a 3/4 year trot.

Beatles are beyond being rated, when's the last time someone said 'D'you who i like? - The Beatles', never, not even in the 60s, they're so good they're beyond rating, now if some people don't like them then that's the style.
I like solo john lennon more than the beatles - hey whoa.

over rated bands.. list them
