What band(s)/artist(s) do you find overrated?

 
  • Quoth ratnerstar:
    I met Adam Clayton once, in a Washington DC supermarket, where he recommended that I purchase lime marmalade. Don't ever take food advice from U2.


    But lime marmalade would go well with catfish, wouldn't it?

    and interesting how people still contribute answers to the question, despite an existing thread being listed!


    And to think I liked this forum a lot :(


    It doesn't matter where people post their answers. Just like it doesn't matter if a piss-drunk guy pisses on the toliet seat or actually "in" the toliet. Just be glad he didn't hit the floor with it... or your shoes.

    The darkness, beyond a doubt. Oh, and Katie Melua.

    I agree with the Darkness, but Katie Melua has a wonderful voice, I understand everybody likes her..


    And why in the world, is this thread created, it's been made a thousand of times.. okay okay..

    Anyway.. Coldplay and U2, I just don't like them, they really aren't that great in my opinion they're nothing special, I don't like the singers voices

  • If you're finding them over-rated on account of their voices, then Muse. I really really hate the lead singer's voice.

    That's just the start of it

    edit: and your page reminded me!

    EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY
    and also all those bands like them. Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Godspeed, Silver Mt Zion AND SO FORTH

  • Dude, pavement is ranked number three on your top artists list.

    Although, I actually agree with you there; I've never had much use for Stephen Malkmus. Slanted & Enchanted is a halfway decent album, but I don't get why people make such a big deal over it. The rest of the artists you listed are worthy of praise.

    It doesn't matter how long a break you take from scrobblerworld, you always have Ratner's Adam Clayton / lime marmalade story waiting for you on your return ;)

    I don't think I4d heard it before, weird.

    Pavement are like the Clash: sure ,they were extremely important and shit, but there's really no reason to still be listening to them.

    Agh, I just can't resist it anymore! The most supremely overrated bands of all time are:

    Coldplay
    Nirvana

    I'd be more apathetic if I weren't so lethargic.

    The other thread doesn't allow replies, for non-members i guess.


    Most overrated are The Vines: by far the worst live performance I have ever seen.

    Quoth Feanor:
    Ah borgasm. He tries so hard to be the token asshole on the forum, except he's not here often enough so rather than making people angry he makes them laugh at him instead.

    Don't worry, we have the technology! We CAN rebuild you!

    Also, remember people, that it is easily possible to like an artist and still think they're over rated. I myself quite enjoy Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13/Murderdolls/Wednesday 13, but it's all ridiculously over-rated, mainly by drooling little Slipknot fans.
