I agree with the Doors. Just some guy noodling along on a moog and the whole Jim Morrison thing, found most of their stuff kinda boring and not nearly as gripping as fans would have you believe. But may be biased as lived through the whole revival almost 30 years ago when the Oliver Stone film was released and everyone was doing the whole Morrison demi God thing.

Cant accept this. The Stone Roses were always a niche band that you either liked or didnt like irrregardless of your prefered genres of music. yes they are popular but in my opinion they were never overrated....underrated if anything. Its all subjective really

About 10 years ago I came across a live version of a depeche mode song, " damaged people " sung by Martin Gore and remember thinking ...." Is this a joke " had a look through a few more tracks and thought

" how have these guys been going so long " absolute rubbish !!!!!

10 years later they are my favorite band.....like how the hell did that happen . maybe I'm the joke!!!!

Relax bro. Let's not fight.

In fairness, you did say people don't listen to him for his voice. I think for some people his voice is part of the package - it is for me anyway.

I get a little tired of hearing people praise his lyrics and neglecting or downplaying other aspects of the music - there's more to Dylan than just lyrics, but, sure, that's just my opinion.

If you're lucky enough to see DM live, it's an amazing experience. Gahan is possibly the best front man of any band. They've had a few duds, think Violator is overrated myself and prefer stuff like Stripped, Never Let Me Down and Blasphemous Rumours. But WHAT a group. The only act I've seen live that beats them was Underworld. And if you don't like Underworld live, just...give up.

It's an awful shame UB 40 became so associated with skangers, because their early stuff like King, 1 in 10, Food for Thought, Rat in Mi Kitchen...they were great. But in the 90s they churned out dross.

There's 2 UB40's touring atm

One is playing a few dates in Ireland in the next few weeks and features Ali Campbell, Astro and some other guy and the other UB40 features a load of other guys with Ali Campbells brother singing

Yeah, think their accountant left them penniless and bankrupt and the whole thing collapsed in acrimony.

Yeah, the hero worship around Jim Morrison is a bit OTT and I could never understand it. Probably the whole dying young and being good looking thing. That said, I love The Doors, I think their music is great, but the mythology that has been built up around them probably does their (musical) legacy no favours. It becomes more about Jim Morrison as opposed to being about four musicians in a band.

The whole thing is entirely subjective, but, given that disclaimer, I'll go for Radiohead.

I've never been a fan of the 'you just don't get them' argument, as it could be used about anything, and it's used a lot with Radiohead, but, yeah, I just don't get them.

For me, I've always found it hard to like Van Morrison. A few good songs- yes, but one of the greatest, no.

For those of you mentioning The Smiths/Morrissey, hang your heads. You may not like the man but they are a seminal band of a decade and have influenced and inspired many subsequent artists. I would also consider them a niche band with a reasonably narrow following so they can hardly be overrated?

Zoorapa is amazing. Only true "experimental" U2 album people dont like it as it hasnt the same copy and paste template of their other albums.

Green Day terribly over rated IMO.
