Most overrated band ever? 12:27 - Oct 31 with 13970 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...

Id have to disagree....think they wrote songs ahead of their time. And alot of them. But its all subjective of course.

I don't mind the 60s Stones but after that pretty rubbish.

What Zombies track are you putting up as better than the Beatles?


I'd say pretty much anything from Odessey and Oracle would be better than most Beatles stuff. But that's just my preference. Probably one of the best albums from the 60s for me.

Good call on Oasis, but further down I'm shocked somebody suggested The Buzzcocks, each to their own and all that though.

Good call on U2 but Queen win it for me. Self indulgent nonsense without fail

Stone Roses.

If it wasn’t for the admittedly excellent Fools Gold they’d be another dime-a-dozen indie band.

Qu**n.

Good call. There aren't enough words in the English language to begin to describe how much I hate them.

The Bootleg Beatles are a much better Beatles tribute act.


And that's a fact.

Queen is an odd one- the songs of there that I like - I love, and the ones I don't - I hate.

IE -

I want to break free - Love
Staying Power - Love
Don't try so hard - Love

Radio Gaga - Hate
We are the champions - Hate
Bohemian Rhapsody - Love the arrangement, hate the sung version.

I totally agree about Oasis. Wonderwall is one of the most boring, dreary songs ever written, along with 'I play Pokemon Go every day'.

They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all!
