Really overrated bands

[steve56]

the dave clark five were overated .

[slamdaddy]

I disagree, queen were a great band.

However, on the subject of overrated bands, I'd have to say every band for the last 10 years.

[Pervert]

What---even Coldplay???

[nachovx]

Elvis Costello - built a career on shite.

And yesterday on the radio Jonathon Ross interviewed Wendy James (Transvision Vamp) who is naking a comeback - ffs !!!!!!!!!!

elvis costello all for rock against racism called ray charles a nigger yrs later

In my not so humble opinion.

OVER-RATED:-
The Beatles
Coldplay
Elton John
Franz Ferdinand
Happy Mondays/Black Grape
Kings Of Leon
Maroon 5
Nirvana
Radiohead
Sting
U2

UNDECIDED:-
The Killers

[The Last Word]

The Killers' album loses steam at the 3/4 mark, but it's a fairly thrilling ride up till then. Franz Ferdinand only have one song (Take Me Out) a dressed-up clone of 'Eye of The Tiger' by way of Gang of Four. The news that bandleader Alex Krapanos is actually older than me (he's 34) amuses me greatly.

Kings Of Leon are NOT over-rated!
They play some of the best rock music I've heard in years.

[RED]

The real problem is Underrated Groups! Try this TheWeddingPresent

but as for Overrated - Marilyn Manson and the plain awful Scissor Sisters

... and I'd give Bob Smith from The Cure one any day!!

[colonel]

Er....U2 and every boyband that there ever was.

NB. The Beatles are not a boyband- even 1963-1965 - for the purposes of this post.
