Yaeh I'd put the chillies on the list too

RHCP. They really are not very good.
Radiohead.
Muse from Black Holes onward.

Oasis by a long long margin.

People have to think somebody's good before you can call them overrated..

The Killers

The Beatles and RHCP for me. Never got into them and never liked them as much as I perhaps "should", so to speak.

I'll give you that. The first half of their first album was good. That was it.

I'll say Oasis, if not just because they stole all the glory that Ocean Colour Scene deserved.

SexyGreyFox · 8 Nov 2010 at 19:58

I'll give the same answers I always give because we have this thread once a year -

RHCP
Radiohead
REM
U2

In the last big thread U2 came out on top by quite a way.
(I can't find it and I did a lot of adding up in that thread)

Metallica. They used to be good, but nowhere near as good as people make them out to be.

explicit4u · 8 Nov 2010 at 20:04

U2
The Beatles
Led Zep
Radiohead
The Rolling Stones
Metalica

Just a lot of old-ish bands really, might add KOL too.

I'd agree to a point with all bar this one, can't see why?

But i think people are missing the point of 'overrated'. To me that would be somebody who makes truly bad music but everybody buys it anyway - say in the charts. With a lot of these you have to admit that while not overwhelming, the music they make is easily tolerable.

LeoN88 · 8 Nov 2010 at 20:08

pink floyd and the beatles

I'd disagree, overrated to me means precisely that - you can't see why they are rated as highly as they are. That might mean that you think they are a bad band or it might just be that they're lauded as the second coming and you think they're maybe only decent.
