Topic: Overrated?

OK

Ed Sheeren,
Led Zepplin
The Doors

Good covers band.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Go on as in maybe give some reasoning, instead of just naming things with no context. Because everything and everyone in the world is overrated to someone, so unless there's some supporting reasons all you've got is a meaningless list.

I'm pretty sure he knew what you meant.  It might be meaningless to you, to those who post, not so much.

As to U2. I saw them in the late 70's in Erics and I was unimpressed by them. The comparison I used was the Bunnymen, probably at the same place, development wise, The Bunnymen was much more interesting. And for me nothings has changed in the last four plus decades. I find U2 to be not much different from other bands.I don't understand the adulation they get.

If you want a great band from Ireland, Taste. With the greatest guitarist that island, actually, there's not many better, anywhere, has produced.

As BH pointed out I was definitely pulling your leg, Soz.

Seriously, decent music, but lacks edge. Axl and Slash would really elevate LZ songs

A great example is how they improved on Live and let die.
Nothing would improve the self indulgent snoozefest that is Stairway though

[Crosby Nick]

Wait til Tepid discovers this thread.

[CHOPPER]

Adel

Taylor Swift

Elbow

Oasis

Heavy Metal

Prog Rock

Robbie fucking Williams, the fucking prick

The Killers

That twat Ed Sheeran

Slash isn't wasn't bad, but Page pisses all over him
And Axl is slightly less bearable than fingernails on a blackboard.

Zep elevated some really great Blues to a different audience, for that alone I like them.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Lou Reed. The first five years are unassailable, but people were treating him as a serious artist through the 90's despite him dropping off a cliff after Transformer. You had the occasional interesting guitar soundscape piece like The Gun or pop song like New Sensations, and Coney Island Baby was decent, but 75-90% of his songs were just tuneless rambling. And that's before you get on to the real embarrassments like Metal Machine Music and Lulu. Still less lopsided than McCartney's career though.

Incidentally, is Ed Sheeran 'rated'?

[Terry de Niro]

Neil Young.

He wrote a few good songs, but his voice was/is shite and his guitar playing is even worse.

Add chlamydia to this list.

[afc tukrish]

Standing next to songs at bus stops is well under-rated in general...

I hate fake tits.

Think it was the whole attitude thing, the fuck them all, we'll do it our way. I was 21 when I first heard them and loved the songs, loved the look ( I used to have hair down my back, covered all my face too, wear jeans, black cowboy boots, belts with chains on, rock or garfield t-shirts, so they fitted in with how I was) they were great live (even if Axl was/is an utter bellend)

[RedDeadRejection]

Paul Heaton, The Beautiful South & The Housemartins

Dull, dull, boring, MOR

Never could understand how Norman Cook produced the music he did in Beats International and as Fat Boy considering he started off in the Housemartins, must have been doing it just for the cash.

How do I block you?

[RedDeadRejection]

The Beach Boys

...and you

[RedDeadRejection]

Rumours. The post Peter Green Fleetwood Mac are shite.

We are going to need a pic of you back then, Rob.

This may be controversial to some, but Jamie Webster is overrated IMHO

[So… Howard Philips]

A decent cheerleader.

But better than Neil Young.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Spot on. id go as far to say hes fucking awful

[Kenny's Jacket]

If Webster is judged on a bloke singing terrace songs - fine
As a musician - -shite

[rob1966]

Neil Young.

He wrote a few good songs, but his voice was/is shite and his guitar playing is even worse.

Katie Pruitts version of Ohio pisses all over his original.

Thankfully no photos were taken, or at least I don't have any.

Remember dropping a girl I knew at her house on my motorbike when I was 24, got invited in for a brew and met her Ma, she said all she could see was one eye through my fringe   She must have thought I was ok though, as after I'd gone home, she said to her "its obvious you fancy, bloody say something to him"
