Eric Clapton, I always thought he was overrated as a guitarist, all this 'God' stuff when someone like Jimi Hendrix was about. Even the main riff on Layla was actually Duane Allman.

Now I realise that aside from that he is (and has been for sometime) a complete prick

You use autotune? You can't sing.

Phonetic puns.

My Generation by The Who

Never gets going, it's a boring song.

Brendan Rodgers. I think it's becoming clear to see that he's a slightly more polished version of the same coach who didn't quite cut it at Liverpool.

Yea. Dig out the pitchforks and burning brands.

An understated classic.

Meryl Streep. (I’m judging based on Don’t Look Up).

Her acting in Don't Look Up was at Pacino levels of ham. Having said that though, it's difficult to satirise a Trumpian like president and do it well when the reality of the past five years is hard to top.

I don’t know if he’s rated or not, but someone must rate him somewhere as that would explain him getting these acting gigs…but just going through The Office and Ed Helms is just terrible. Never liked him in the few things I’ve seen him in.

Only one of the most influential songs of all time with an incredible bass from Entwistle that has influenced bands ranging from punk and heavy metal and been covered numerous times from the likes of Patti Smith to Green Day ….
You can call The Who many things but “boring” isn’t one of them

It's one of those 60's songs that's been ruined by media overuse to become a boring cliche, like Respect or Wild Thing.

Zendaya. She is in absolutely everything but I find her to be annoying rather than a good actor, plus her name is terrible.

The Marvel movies most of them are utter shite yet fanboys go on about them like it's scarface or goodfellas as cinematic masterpiece.

PS5 , mine is collecting dust only good for expensive exclusives otherwise I'm on game pass 99% of the time.

Don't take any semblance of joy from saying this 'cos I've always loved him and the other three to fucking bits ever since the start of it all but I dug out All Things Must Pass album the other day for the first time in nigh 50 years and it's just as underwhelming as I remembered it from back then. Still love you though George and always will.

I've had the reverse. 50 years ago I'd spend evenings in flats in Lark Lane listening to Leonard Cohen albums in the hope of vainly catching the eye of a delicious hippy chick. Just thought he was a misery guts.

Years later and older and wiser I appreciate his music a lot more.

But George doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves.

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.
