Most Overrated Band

[Father Ted]

In your opinion which band is or was the most overrated?
For me it has to be The Stone Roses. In the 90's they were lauded as geniuses, the most importatnt band of their generation, but there music was just so dull. Couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

 

[Gilly]

Pink Floyd

 

[Eddie]

Ooh, controversial first reply, how can so many people be wrong?

 

[LizardKing]

Pink Floyd

Agreed!

My choice
Kings of Leon

There songs just seem to be a repeat them selves for 3-4minutes.

 

[Ranger07]

Spice Girls.

 

[Edrof]

Any of the big boy bands. Millions upon millions of sales and fans and they are entirely talentless. Westlife seem to be the worst of the bunch.

 

[Deiwos]

Muse.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Pink Floyd

Disagree!!

 

[Vonhelmet]

Oasis
Kings of Leon
The Klaxons

 

[drunkenmaster]

U2

 

[voodooGT]

The Beatles

 

[mrthingyx]

Pretty much anything from 1994 onwards.

But I will be even more contraversial than Gilly and say The Beatles (they got close to meriting the adulation with their later work, but...).

 

[kae2]

The Beatles

 

[Vampyre]

U2

Yep

 

[Raymond Lin]

The Beatles

You got to look at it what else there is at the time first.

[Vonhelmet]

U2

They've not done anything interesting since Pop.

 

[manic_man]

U2, without a dribble of a doubt, U2

 

[gillywibble]

U2, apart from Sunday Bloody Sunday, which really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday.

 

[Guerrilla]

U2

Or Bon Jovi.
