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

    Ive heard of the band, just none of there songs springs to mind which to me says a lot.

    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

    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.

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

    It's hard to define overrated I think. Most of the bands and singers mentioned are really good but you just might not like them.

    Are Journey supposed to be good? I just remember when Dont Stop Believing was being played all the time and I hadn't a clue who they were. I asked a fella from college who they were and he was annoyingly shouting over the music "you don't know Journey? like I was out of the loop or something :/

    Also cant stand Maroon 5.

    People can't seem to distinguish between over-rated bands, and bands they dislike...they are 2 different things
