Most OVER-rated bands/musicians of all time

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

Here's a biggie to kick this off with

Mumford & Sons

I have no clue why this terrible act have ever managed to acquire any semblance of kudos. To me their tunes are one step away from listening to fingernails scraping across an old blackboard

Others who have flown high, but to my mind are utter bilge

Maria Carey - (awful caterwauling and a horrible person to boot)
Coldplay (needs no explaining)
Eminem - (very close to impersonating black people, like a modern day minstrel - and just as offensive)

[Thor]

The Sex Pistols

[Beradogs]

So many I don’t get. U2, Pink Floyd. Radiohead. Coldplay. The Smiths.

Agree on U2 and somewhat on Pink Floyd.

The Smiths are genius. As are Radiohead.

Coldplay I get why people dont like them. Their first 2 albums are verging on classics. they have progressively got worse though

[Real Al]

Yes - look I get that they are incredibly talented musicians, so they really have no excuse. Not Yes, No!
Queen
Jeff Buckley - whiny. People only like him cos he topped himself

[Admin]

Queen. Without doubt, Bohemian Rhapsody is the biggest,longest and most over-rated pile of poo poo to ever hit the airwaves.

Genesis. Decentish prog-rock band turned mainstream poo poo. Phil Collins's face can bring on murderous rages here at Admin towers.

Blur. One or two tracks aside, really couldn't grasp what anyone got from them. Country House particularly is an utter abomination that deserves to be never heard again.

[Admin]

Hey PW - why have you changed shite to poo poo. Man you've changed.

Talk about poacher turned gamekeeper. What the f*** have i created here?

[Lovejoy]

The Smiths
Blur
Bruce Springstein
The Housemartins

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Ed Sheeran will be looked back on and cringed like we do with some of the cheesy poo poo from the 80s.

[The Mindsweep]

Many of the above obviously haven't got a clue.

[ComeOnYouOs]

Steps

[KC & sunshine band]

jedward

[NuneatonO's]

Anything or anyone that has evolved post-1986.

[ComeOnYouOs]

THE most overrated musician of all time is Bowie,
couldn't sing two notes in tune, and his songs were utter crap

[mildandbitter]

One of the sacred cows. The Kinks.

[Lovejoy]

Steps

Faye Tozer was a bit of alright though.

[jamespevans]

Totally agree about Mumfords plus Yes. For my sins I was into ELP but couldn't stand Yes.

[BoniO]

Stretching the remit maybe, but Michael Ball is bloody awful.

How long would you like your ban to be?

That just proves you are stuck in a time warp.

Not really - but it proves that you don't recognise satire.

[StockholmO]

Elvis Presley
Fiona Apple
Bob Dylan
U2
Spotnicks

COYOs proving his music knowledge is about as in depth as his football knowledge
Can't we round it up to 10?

Agree with all of these, bar Eminem. Although not a 'fan', as such; the guy is an incredibly articulate rapper. I dislike him however because his music has no soul: it doesn't 'swing' so everything descends into a "bloke shouting at you" (like most hip-hop live gigs)

My shout is Oasis. Not 'sh!t', as such, that's not fair, but ludicrously over-rated: they're a pub band.
I find them however utterly, utterly, mundane. The lyrics are appalling nothingness. Vaguely Beatlesy, vaguely hippie-ish, vaguely 60s - there is not a shred of originality to their work.
With the hundreds of bands out there, Why would you listen to Oasis?
