Plenty of one hit wonders who hit dizzy heights and maybe didn't deserve it, but for 'big' bands, Coldplay and U2, oh and Snow Patrol - all utterly middle of the road cardboard material. Very well marketed though.

Its strange with U2 as rattle and him and a few of their previous albums were cool. But the white they peddled out after was really bad. At Glastonbury two years ago, I laughed as it was plain bono didnt even know the words to his own songs. He read them off a monitor and wore sun glasses so we wouldn't notice. Retire ffs!

Not hugely impressed by their early stuff, but lets face it, they inspired a generation, successful and remembered bamds were formed because of them, they are still on music mag covers today, and since the release of Strawberry Fields there has never been anything in our charts as brilliant.

A huge layer of nostalgia covers classic bands which people can't see past as to them not actually being that good.

The Beatles are the best example of this

Terry Wogans the Floral Dance is better than strawberry fields. Better lyrics and the musical arrangement is far superior.

U2 have some unbelievably good songs in their catalogue and Bono has written some great songs for others, although admittedly his is up his own backside. Check out him singing She's a Mystery Girl, which he wrote for Roy Orbison, under Brooklyn Bridge on You Tube and his voice is brilliant.

Its all about personal taste though isn't it? I can agree that they used some groundbreaking techniques but wasn't that also a lot to do with George Martin? For me, I just find them very boring. Nobody is wrong and nobody is right x

seriously ? Overrated means successful despite having no talent. . It's not about taste. . Please learn the difference. So robert plant can't sing. .jimmy page is a poo guitarist and between them they write rubbish songs that fooled millions of people and inspired pretty much all of the rock and grunge bands over the next 30 years ?

"One direction shift a lot of copies.

Being able to sell is never a true reflection of quality , just good marketing. [/quote

Maybe over a short period of time, but to say a band that have been around for 30+ years selling that many records are over rated is ridiculous. Everything about music is subjective to the individual, and their tastes. "

And to quote another poster , McDonalds have been selling shit for decades.

"Haven't scoffed at anyones suggestions?! "

You did suggest that the fact that a band had sold millions of records but were classed as overrated by some was a ridiculous suggestion but then went on to say that music is all about personal taste and is subjective. Sorry if I sound picky xx

It's all about opinions, each to their own. If everyone all liked the same things, life would be pretty dull! Variety is the spice of life! Always good to have a mass debate though!

I'm referring to the ones that made you declare 'you couldn't understand because they sold lots etc'

Paraphrasing here of course and I know you didn't mention the band which the above comment related to but whichever people will have diff opinions.

I might start a 'let's pick the best colour' to get a definite answer once an for all, I'm sure we can correctly work this out

The right place


"Duran Duran my lord there bad

Yours?"

I think quite the opposite. When I was at school it was very uncool for lads to like Duran Duran. So I didn't. (Isn't peer pressure crap).

But now I think Duran Duran are an underrated band. 'Ordinary Day' is a great song.

can we define overrated ? My take is. . Successful. . Yet deviod of proportional talent to justify the success achieved. Not ' i don't like this band that happens to have sold a lot of records. Yes. . People hate U2. . Bruce springsteen . . The Beatles . . Radiohead. . Nirvana. . Muse. . Chic. . Earth wind and fire. . Prince. . UB40. . Joni mitchell. . But were they overrated ? Successful with no real talent ?

Ok, and this is just my opinion. I think the Beatles are overrated because they sound to me like a jingly jangly pop band. They were the original boy band and I rate them no higher than take that or boyzone.

Hey up old bean, you'll be telling us next that the difference between a) being sucessful, selling lots of records, being able to sing and play instruments to a high standard, selling out stadiums and b) being overrated is so subtle that not everyone gets it?

Funny how many of the musicians in the named mega rock bands (Pink Floyd, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac, U2 [and I cant stand them]) have made a second career out of writing hits for, singing, playing session and producing so many other 'pop' hits for stars that nobody can remember. For example Dave Gilmour writing, playing and producing The Dream Academy.

for a bant to be thought of as over rated by one or more people that band has first to be rated by one or more people. we can all pick bands out that we don't like the music but there will always be someone out there that disagrees. its never ending.

Fair enough.

But suppose I've never really been into reggae anyway.

What think I was getting at was that bob Marley songs all sound the same. Take away the lyrics etc and all sounds same to me.
