    Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I can't their their music seriously. What American state are they from, btw? They haven't taken the opportunity to tell us in about 15 songs. I wish they'd bore off with their frivolous music.

    Arcade Fire: Indulgent hipster rubbish.

    In fact any band that aspire to be nothing more than pretentious, elitist and 'indie' have my contempt.

    You have heard under the bridge haven't you? :confused: "the city i live in the city of angels." that should make it fairly obvious where they're from.

    Anyone into music knows that - she's hardly over-rated. :)

    For me it's REM. I like some sings by them, but overall, I find them really boring.

    Maybe the only time in the history of the internet that cher lloyd is rated along side the beatles :confused:

    I pretty certain she is not over rated as she is hardly rated at all.

    I know, Californication, Dani California, Under the Bridge, Out in L.A all refer to it. That was my(sarcastic) point!

    I would agree with that. Unfortunately there are an awful lot of Beatles and Dylan fans who look down their noses at everyone else. ME? I'm a MUSIC fan. I thought the Stones were way better.:)
    I love the Stones. Big fan of a lot of their output, but "better" is very subjective. On the songwriting, innovation, evolution and sheer quality of output year after year for only 7 years front the Beatles were/are objectively better. Plus they did the decent thing and gave up on a high(and turned down crazy amounts of money in the 70's to reform). The Stones and many others became watered down cabaret parodies of themselves. U2 a good example of that. If they'd called it a day 15 years ago, they'd be a lot more liked and respected.

    Pink Floyd I never really "got" TBH. I wouldn't say overrated. Well up to a certain point anyway. Another band who wobbled on after they had passed their best.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I honestly have no idea who Cher Lloyd is.

    By the sounds of it, I should keep it that way.

    Adele.
    Yeah we get it.. He broke up with you because you are fat. Build a bridge and run across it a few times. Its the same structure for almost every song. Bores the tits off me.

    Biffy Clyro.
    Syrupy bollox aimed at kids who want to be 'Alt'

    Kings of Leon.
    Immense first and second albums but then they turned into a pop band.

    The Coronas
    My mammy was Mary Black. Give me a record deal roysh so I can sing ****e songs about my J1er and playing songs on my guitar for the girlies at house parties... ****.

    Oasis
    Im a fan but in fairness they are over rated for what they offer musically.

    Snow Patrol, Mumford & Sons...easy targets really.

    Always felt the Rolling Stones were a bit overrated. I love Beggar's Banquet and Exile on Main Street, but a lot of their stuff is just foppy Englishmen playing ouija board with the Delta Blues masters, and the last decent album they made was in the late '70s.

    The Smiths have two or three good songs, they get way too much credit. The Queen is dead is heralded as a classic, but 'Frankly Mister Shankly' is an abomination and there's several other weak tracks on there.

    Elvis, after his early stuff, was sh1te. The Who, with a couple exceptional tracks aside, aren't all that great in the studio. Prince has some class tunes, but 'Sign O The Times' is not a classic album, despite the critics.

    My Bloody Valentine never did it for me either.

    Useless thread.

    Everyone has their own style in music, one persons "best band ever" is anothers headwrecker.

    Im a big big fan of Oasis, Stone Roses, but another person might be big into dubstep or something completely different.

    1. Red Hot Chilli Peppers...I mean they are just a joke band IMO....I cannot take them serious.

    2. Foo Fighters....see above.

    It's music for simpletons.


    Have you ever heard an album or read any lyrics?

    I think you're just repeating things you've heard, making you the 'simpleton' :rolleyes:

    Foo Fighters are really talented musicians. You obviously don't know a lot about music because even if they weren't your type of band you'd still admit that they have two of the best drummers in the world. I don't care if you don't like them but calling them overrated is stupid.

    A pop band like Kings of Leon being treated as a proper band is what being overrated is.

    I'd agree with Arcade Fire i must say. I just never really saw what the fuss was about. A lot of their tunes are very similar to stuff that was previously done by the likes of The New Pornographers.

    It's just the same basic guitar music that has been done for a long time by a lot of people, the drum work is normally pretty pedestrian.

    Anybody who has ever parted with their hard earned cash on either of these websites..!

    http://www.dana-music.com/

    http://www.richiekavanagh.ie/the-music/

    If only 2 people buy from those websites, then its over rated.!

    Plenty of people know they're sh1t. This thread is about acts you hear nothing but praise for.
    If it was just about sh1t acts, it would be named as such.
