John Farnham

How many farewell/come back tours can one have lol. . I can honestly say the only song that I really like from Johnny is One way back from 1968.

Eminem.

My gawd he is terrible but somehow in the early 2000s he was considered the hip hop bench mark and the masses ate it up.

It's all been down hill from there. All you have to do is listen to "R&B" Friday on Fox/2Day FM to see how shite hip hop/rap has become.

Coldplay
James Blunt - I once described his voice "as being a cross between two cats fighting and a dentist's drill" on ABC Radio Queensland.
Psy
Crazy Frog
Akon
Warrant, Poison, Motley Crue, Rush, Guns 'n' Roses, Steve Miller Band, Van Halen, Bon Jovi and all those other 70s/80s/90s North American bands mostly with big hair and not much else
U2 after their first three albums
Phil Collins

That's all for now.....

If I am rubbishing anyone's favourite band, don't worry, you can rubbish mine.

But I will give you reasons why your band is shit and over rated and why mine is not.

Drives me nuts when I keep hearing everyone going on about how great the Crazy Frog is. I mean it's good, but nothing special.

 

[LESStar58]

For their time they were awesome. You have to remember they released hit after hit for 7 years. So many albums. These days you're lucky to get 3 albums in 7 years from just about anyone not named King gizzard. Listen to their first album from 63 then listen to Sgt pepper 4 years later. Their evolution was nothing short of incredible.

Look at them through a historical lense rather than a contemporary one - few old bands look good if you do the latter.

We sell boatloads of them. I'm afraid I can't share the enthusiasm of my customers but my gawd that make some sexy looking vinyl!

Oh really?? I think nonagon is great! Ah well, different strokes and all that.

I can't fault them as they do very well. In America almost everyone asks me about them.

This is easily the best post in this thread.

Pearl Jam. A couple of good songs but the rest are really average. Although I do love the way they became anti-establishment in a calculated move to sell more records without anybody noticing.

 

[madunit]

UB40
4NonBlondes
Aqua
Frente
Will Young
Every musician who has been a judge on a talent show.

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, most annoying band ever.

“California!
I’m from California
Guess I better warn ya

Simply Red
Daddy Cool
The Proclaimers
Tina Turner
Cher
Macklemore
Ed Sheeran
Vance Joy
Jonas Brothers
Oasis - I put this in because Blur shits all over them
Nicki Minaj
Lil Wayne
Kanye West

It is interesting to note when I was compiling the above list, I googled "the most over rated band/artist" and most of the bands I have mentioned are on Top 10/20/50 lists.

Accidentally Smelly Feet was like listening to a thousand fingernails scrapping along a blackboard. Also Angie Hart had the hairiest armpits known to mankind.

When were they establishment?

Dylan is probably the best call on this thread

The Bowie call is amazing. Sure he didn’t have a great voice but in my mind no one beats him for a career in music. Amazing performer and character
