    Stone Roses were a fantastic band. Superb musicians with mind blowing songs who changed people's lives with their music.

    Overrated is bland middle of the road stuff like Coldplay. Not to mention drivel like Take That. Music for drippy men and Prosecco soaked "girlos".

    I'm gonna take on that suicide move and call it:

    The Beatles.

    If they are so good why cant I recall the name of even one of their songs?

    The Second Coming album is underrated if anything - an absolute beast of an album

    I can name a song from every other band listed here and could properly do so for most 'known' bands but serioulsy cant think of one for Stone Roses.


    And btw

    AC/ fooking /DC

    most overrated band ever pure tripe

    Youtube them, give them a go if you genuinely haven't heard any of their stuff - start with Waterfall


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    Bob 'fcuking' Dylan. Absolutely awful singer and I have yet to meet anyone who disagrees. He has a horrible nauseating voice, has zero tone and his songs/music are very hard to listen to.

    Fully agree.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57 ✭✭angiogoir


    As their songs appear on stations again (as retro) they are going through a classic in the music genre, temporarily unpopular. But they had some seminal songs. They will be cool again!

    Yeah I never really got into them in a big way, although I did always like 'Born of Frustration'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,825 ✭✭✭LirW


    I find Nick Cave terribly overrated too.

    Probably because they aren't plastered all over radio, I don't listen to radio much anymore but I can name about 5/6 Westlife songs from ten years ago because they were all over the place, and my opinion on their music would be unprintable - just because it is/isn't on the radio doesn't mean it is/isn't any good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,123 ✭✭✭eviltimeban


    Muse. It also might be because I f**kin' hate them.

    Arcade Fire. It also might be because I f**kin' hate them.

    True, on the flip side however the fact not one of their song sticks in my mind says they are a clutish type band that never recived mainstream success like GnR? They are rock band ?

    They got caught up in a prolonged Studio dispute after the major success of their first album.

    They ended up not releasing anything for 5 years. They returned on the Geffen label with a heavier sound. Personally I love Second Coming, the guitar playing is immense throughout.

    First album was lighter, a little reminiscent of the Byrds 12 string guitar sound. Some really beautiful songs on it. Check out I wanna Be Adored, She Bangs The Drums, Waterfall, Made of Stone, I am the Resurrection..

    I am sure if you listen to Fools gold or Love Spreads you will remember the songs as they got a lot of airplay back in the day.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,337 ✭✭✭Bandana boy


    Kings of Leon , Oasis and The Verve , all bands with some good songs but they were never as good as they think they are.

    The stone roses were far from overrated. The new songs released were horrendous though. Like something a group of eleven year old might compose
