Most overrated band ever? 12:27 - Oct 31 with 13880 viewsDubtractor

I'm bored with arguing about football, so how about we argue about music instead?

I'm going with Oasis. I didn't get them at the time, and whenever I hear them now I just don't understand how they became so big. I was listening to a 90s indie compilation whilst decorating earlier and this came on. Its like a big checklist of 90s indie cliches all cobbled together in one song - dreadful and cheesy lyrics, token string section to make it sound anthemic, key changes to add emotion, about 4 minutes too long. It sounds like something that Robbie Williams rejected.



These chorus lyrics though....

All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell them what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
All around the world
You've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Also, these lyrics...

No such thing as a solo artist. Somebody somewhere collaborates with so called solo artist.

Tupac stands as overrated.

And it's that level of insight that got them where they are today, platinum selling artists with an unquestionable legacy of musical exellence.

My mum's favourites after Daniel O'Donnell, in fact.

....quite got the "jist" of it to be honest.

Plus I immediately realised I'd missed "cheddar" off my list.

I mean, who'd have cheddar when you can tell everyone you prefer "Old bishop stinky finger's blue veined special mature super reserve".

I'll unashamedly admit to being a cheddar kind of guy.

In particular Wookie Hole cave aged cheddar, so I'm still able to be a pretentious middle class tool, despite my cheddar love.

I went to Wookie Hole when I was a kid.

I remember being devastated that Chewbacca wasn't there.

Not a band but I don't like Bob Dylan. No clue why. Bad memories, perhaps.

Also pitching in to help Dubbers.

Hurricane is a choon and All Along the Watchtower is also a banger, but the cover by Hendrix is far superior. Dylan is an amazing songwriter but a pretty poor singer, hence a number of his songs being much better when performed by others.
