OT - Overrated Bands

[R&WTILLIDIE]

The greatest band of all time...KISS...enough said

 

[ruthless dragon]

U2 just came on the radio. I cringed and changed the station before I realised what I was doing.

Bono was interviewed talking about what a great guitarist The Edge is, and how he revolutionised guitar.

What a load of bollocks. As far as I'm concerned U2 is just another overhyped pop band. But for some reason people fawn over them. I just don't get it, and I don't imagine I ever will.

Any other suggestions for overrated bands?

Well you have said one thing that is true...you will never get it, what a philistine.
U2 one of the Great live rock bands do yourself a favor and get educated.

I disagree with you about something that is inherently subjective. Therefore you are a philistine.

I agree with you that U2 are over rated. I have been saying it for a very long time too. A few of my mates were big U2 fans in the 80's and 90's. I even tried to get into them, but never did.

Personally the best rock music came out between 65 to the early 80's at the latest. It peaked between 67 to 71. Other over rated bands would be

Guns and Roses
Nirvana
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Doors/Jim Morrison
Wham
Culture Club
Metallica
Oasis


My top rated bands would be

Led Zeppelin
AC/DC with Bon Scott
Beatles
Jimi Hendrix Experience/Band Of Gypsies
Moody Blues
Crosby Stills Nash and Young
Pink Floyd
Rolling Stones
Fleetwood Mac
Eagles
Police
Dire Straits

I didn't had the privilege of seeing Zeppelin Live, but I did see Page and Plant and co in 1996 at the Entertainment Centre. It may have been called the No Quarter tour. It was probably the best concert I saw.

No I haven't seen U2 live.

I was at that Zoo TV Sydney show in the 90's. Never seen a better opening to a concert to this day. All those screens flickering to life one by one followed by Zoo Station and The Fly....

I think the hatred for U2 is solely based on the hatred of Bono

Quote Wayne Bennett this week in the media.
Bono is a " Fence Sitter"
Giid Memories
Cold Chisel
Rose Tattoo
INXS
Pink Floyd so so skillful

Most people don't hate U2, they just find them inane and boring.
This is of course correct on account of the inane and boring music U2 plays.

John Mayer is underrated.[/QUOTE

Just like Kenny G?

 

[smi962]

*awesome politicial fast talking over incredibly talented guitar.

I always liked Audioslave better suggesting I prefer Chris Cornell on vocals.

I will get hounded for it but I will say the Eagles. The reason why Punk music was invented.

With all due respect, I fart in your general direction.

Most of the songs are so slow tempo'ed. I don't like Henley voice. Plus Hotel California is played everywhere... reminds me of elevator music.

Its a personal taste thing I guess.

Is that because everyone was sick of listening to the Eagles?

There is a great DVD of Page and Plant unplugged I think it is no quarter. There is a version of Kashmir which is totally awsome

Not l.
As we all agree, we all have different taste.
I can never get sick of their sound.
The Eagles jamming.................

Some bands can just take you to another place.

Like, the other day I was in a cafe and the Eagles came on the radio. So, I went to another cafe.

Rather them than listening to your tripe

 

[dragonrickjs]
