Most overrated band

Saralee4

Ok so I seen the thread most underrated band and was thinking who is overrated.

I would have to say, I think The Script are overrated. I feel like they are just a boy band singing whiny pop songs claiming to be a rock band. I just don't get what the big deal is with them.

They remind me a bit like Maroon 5 who I also think are an overrated boy band signing awful pop songs.

REM and U2. The more famous they got the more pretentious they became.

Snow Patrol live are even worse than Coldplay live.

Skip to 2.57 to see the awful sense of rhythm Snow Patrol fans have.

Enjoy.

Over-rated means being bestowed with excessive critical acclaim (in people's opinion) rather than being really popular like One Direction... I think anyway.

In my opinion, over-rated would apply to REM. I don't think they're bad but I don't think they're deserving of the level of admiration they receive. I like a handful of their songs - I love What's The Frequency Kenneth? - but I find so much else of what I've heard by them just really dull.

I've always much preferred their alternates:

Maybe a lie down would help .

Speaking of The Beatles though, I never did like any of the Paul Mc Cartney stuff with Wings. Not sure how Wings were rated.

They're the band The Beatles could've been.

Pink Floyd, they just bore me. I'd take Yes over them any day of the week.

Would agree with the Script, wouldn't agree with Coldplay.

The Script have not made any attempt to diversify their sound, and if you watch them live (even on the Late Late there a few weeks ago), Danny O'Donoghue's voice did not hold up well at all, methinks a lot of studio magic is worked to get his voice up to match fitness.

Coldplay's first two albums are excellent, nominated for the Mercury Prize (I think Parachutes won it, could be wrong), and their sound is always evolving. In general, they do sound very good live the vast majority of the time in spite of this. People say they are boring, but their catalogue is much more diverse than people would like to give them credit for.

As far as I can tell, that whole audio overdubbed by the creator of the video. Their later stuff is pretty boring, but their first two albums were great - some grungy pop music and some lovely melodies!

Edit: Their third album (the breakthrough album) was quite good too!

I can't have a single conversation with my hip friends without them banging on about how great Freddie and The Dreamers are. I don't understand the fascination with them. They're alright but they're no Swinging Blue Jeans.

Nominated 3 times but never won. Kinda says it all really.

They're just a middle class clone of U2.

Has to be Paul McGuinness's U2 ...a triumph of marketing over quality

jack presley

Shouldn't this thread just be renamed 'List successful bands you don't like'?

Bridge93

Crystal Swing. While not rated by nearly anyone, the fact they were let out of their family living room at all into public is shameful. I thought they were a pisstake/parody of some kind when I first saw them.

Mister Vain

Radiohead. Their music just seems incredibly boring to me, sort of like the music you hear in those yokes for putting babies to sleep.

lertsnim

Any band I don't like that other people like.

That's usually how these things turn out.

New Year's Day, Where the Streets Have No Name, Stay, Desire etc.

Well marketed for sure, but there certainly wasn't a dearth of quality either.

The National. Once heard them described as "Coldplay for hipsters." and it's not far off imo. One or two of their tracks at a time sound nice enough but whoa do they all blur into one another. :pac:

100% agree with this list.

I'd like to add the doors, they're a band for when you first discover weed and think Jim Morrison is the second coming.

For the time of year that's in it I think the love for the Pogues is so OTT.

The singer of Kings of Leon would be as well to go solo imo. I find them quite plastic overall.

How dare you! Personally, Stadium Arcadium is one of my all time favourite albums.

I never did quite get The Doors or AC/DC but I have to go with Kings of Leon. They're the very definition of 'absolutely shıte'.
