What/who do U think is the most overated popular song/artist/band ever.

Band: Nirvana- Couldn`t see the fuss a group who whined about how their middle class life sucks, oh and the lead singer blew his brains out, big deal he wasn`t no Jimi Hendrix for Christ sake.

Artist: John Lennon- Ever since Noel and Liam said they loved Lennon, everyone including the media jumped on the band wagon, when you look at his actual solo career, it wasn`t that good, he did imagine which was good, but it was basically a one hit wonder, all the other songs wasn`t. When you consider Paul McCartney who had even bigger hits in the 70s, wrote and recorded the best James Bond song ever, it`s obvious who the talented one was.

Song: Ironic - What school did she go to? None of the words in the songs aren't ironic, just a series of bummers, and if Alanis and Avril have such a hard time with men, why don`t they just become lesbians and shut the f*** up!!!

And if you survive till 2005, I hope you`re exceedingly thin, For if you are stout you will have to breathe out, While the people around you breathe in.

After hearing the news from The Brits tonight then I would guess that Angels by Robbie Williams will get a lot of votes as most overrated song...

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

Agree on the John Lennon front.
Can`t abide that miserable dirge Imagine.
Pete "I`m made famous for being a druggie rather than talent" Doherty and the Libertines.
Franz Ferdinand Ok on record but cannot sing live.
Oasis, songs ok but the live stage presence of a bit of wood.
Most R+B,boring backing tracks with cut and paste melodies.
When shall i stop?
This could be a very long list. :)

In total agreement about John Lennon.. can you "imagine" what awfulness he would be churning out now.. self indulgent rubbish about making the world a better place while he swans around in white suits playing grand pianos in mansions.. imagine there`s no possessions? gladly.. poof, there goes your piano!

I have to totally and utterly disagree with Nirvana. I heard SLTS on the radio a few days ago and found myself thinking that if it was released as new tomorrow it would be just as huge as it was nearly 15 years ago. Hasnt dated at all, IMHO and there is precious little music you can say that about. Same goes for their entire back catalogue. Great, great music.

And I dont think Ironic is overrated either. Everyone i know thinks its s*** ;)

Robbie is totally overrated. Even the fact that people think of him as a song writer is a massive overestimation.

Depech Mode are hugely overrated. The Libertines are massively overrated.. actually it would be easier to do a list and give them marks out of 5 on the overrated scale...

The Libertines *****
Depech Mode ***
INXS *****
Rush *****
U2 ****
Aerosmith ********************* (worlds biggest Stones tribute band.......)
Metallica *****
The Beatles ********
Razorlight ***
Kasabian ********************************
The Eagles ******
The Beach Boys **** (I hate pet sounds the rest is ok)

And Im a huge fan of `the floyd, but i have to say The Wall is massively overrated.

Discuss..........

[size=9](this is a list that i will just keep adding to ;))[/size]

Agree with whats been said about Robbie Williams and The Libertines, but the most overrated has to be The Streets. A bloke talking over a Casio keyboard, yet he`s won loads of awards and sold s*** loads of albums. Really is beyond me............... :/
