Most overrated band ever? 12:27 - Oct 31 with 14034 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...

Good shout on The Killers. Awful.

At this juncture I also need to throw Kaiser Chiefs into the mix. Sh!t, bland indie nursery rhymes and Ricky Wilson seems like a full bellend.


I predict a riot with that kind of comment.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

not the biggest fan of the music, but a friend of mine used to live next door to him and he's a lovely guy.

like our very own ed, he's a bit tiggerish for some tastes, but a nice lad.

also, i don't think either band are particularly rated!

Most of the bands mentioned are just popular and probably highly rated by their own fans.

Some were all about the time and place and attitude.

The ones that the so-called "critics" always seem to rate are more interesting....

They've both sold a lot of records, so some people must rate them.

Radiohead would be the most obvious example of a band loved by the critics

I've never really got them but can see they've tried to do something interesting so I'm not going to say they are over rated

I think a fair few million around the World like Radiohead as much as, or probably more than, music journalists. 'OK Computer' has almost eight million album sale equivalents to date:

Could I just say at this point, I've never had a ten pager before in what must be 20 years of twtd posting, and it feels as though I might be on the cusp of greatness.

To fall short at this stage would be heart breaking though, so please don't let me down twtd.

it usually gets a few extra replies if you say mick mccarthy is overrated, so to help you out.

not strictly a band, but a duo; mick mccarthy & linda martin are over-rated

I'll go with an example of a band that critics love, but I think are massively overrated.

Black Midi.

They put so much effort into trying to be edgy and different and challenging, that somewhere along the way they ended up just being sh1t.

Not really a fan of MMORPGs either. Or harmonicas. Mr Dylan's really not my cup of tea or 'cawfee' as our American chums wpuld say.
