Over-rated Bands / Musicians

[Deleted member 1418]

This isn't about who has worked hard, who deserves success or how does anyone on here compare. It's simply do people find them over rated.

Well 100s of thousands, nay millions, of young folk, and possibly and few older ones too, find them most agreeable, so far exceeding a few people on a golf forum.

Personally I'm ? Jessie overcomes her personal demons and rejoins the band.

I have a theory on this.

Utmost respect (doesn't mean I like them, or their music), to any one who writes and performs their own music, and play their own instruments.

Less so for groups of people who jig about, and sing someone else's stuff,

Middle ground, jiggers who sing their own stuff.

If you are performing someone else's music, you might as well be a performing monkey.

Liar liar pants on fire.

You played Milli Vanilli greatest hits on the way up to Woodhall Spa!

3hrs - on a loop.

Young women, willing to tramp around in skimpy outfits...can they ever be overrated?

So where does Kajagoogoo fit in this?

Never got the chance. It was all queued up, but James wouldn't stop talking.

Are you sure you don't mean greatest HIT?

I always thought it was someone else’s greatest hit??‍

 

[USER1999]

Over rated could be any band that was 'of the moment'.
Sex pistols, for instance. Do they stand the test of time, or did you need to be there?

They had a greatest hit?

 

[Deleted member 1147]

They had a greatest hit?

They danced to one!

I can live my life a failure but I’ll die a poor and happy man when, with my last breath, I can say, “It could have been worse, I could have been Sting.”

I don't see why it needs calibrating, I assume you don't agree with them.
So, for what it's worth..
Hundreds of other bands..
Rush
Fleetwood Mac
Def Leppard
ZZ Top
Black Country Communion
Greta Van Fleet
Clutch......I could go on all night

Well, if your favourite bands were Brotherhood Of Man, Steps and Black Lace, then we would have to judge your dislikes accordingly.

Of the ones you dislike, I like Radiohead, who have reinvented their sound a few times, and early U2, up to about The Unforgettable Fire.

 

[Captainron]

The Clash. Overrated rubbish

Ah yes.

James definitely not overrated! ?

You would take his bank balance though.

 

[SatchFan]

All rappers.

Not if I had to walk into a bank, look a cashier in the eye and say Hi I’m Sting.

There are limits. That’s mine.

Any singer who can't actually hold a tune. It's their job, and it's amazing how bad some of the famous ones are. On the record, they are dickered with, and sound ok, but live? Flat, and a mile away from in tune.
Sporty Spice, top of the list.
Bruce Dickinson, Gary Lightbody, to name another couple.
Mark Knoplfer never even bothered trying singing.

Could you say, I'm Gordon Sumner?
