Both are incredibly bland though. Neither are awful, just really dull.

I didn't realise they were genuine. Fair play for digging that out
You're clearly not "of an age"

Can't believe I forgot about Def Leppard, a band with zero redeeming features.

I can't believe you haven't mentioned Joe by name; have you developed some taste or have I worn you down...

Daphne and Celeste were definitely over-rated
Incidentally, Foo Fighters are great, and Oasis one of the best British bands of all time. Even a lot of their later stuff was fantastic, although they much of it was always on their B-sides of their singles.

I don't really listen to Planet Rock anymore so I haven't had a chance to nurture that deep rooted hatred for him ?

Am a subscriber to a music YouTuber called Andy Edwards…and a recent piece he published was on just this The Most Overrated Bands. His credentials and knowledge are solid, and his top ten had me nodding. But especially his ‘top’ three.
#3 Marillion
#2 Queen
#1 Pink Floyd
I was cheering at his #3 and #2.
There have been I for years (40 in fact) thinking am I the only one in this country who thinks Marillion are just a poor pastiche of PG era Genesis - pumped out for those in the early 80s who thought that Genesis was the PC era pop rot, but had never listened to the earlier stuff. What was I missing. No - Andy agrees with me.
And Queen - again I thought I was the only person on the planet who liked many of the singles but got bored listening to the rocky fillers on the albums…I listened, got bored, and so, never bought an album - not even a greatest hits. And that was right from the very start - Sheer Heart Attack; Night at the Opera/Races included - never mind the later stuff. Sorry. Hurrah.
But Pink Floyd was a challenge. I really like Echoes (on Meddle) and love TDSotM and WYWH. Great, great albums. But when I thought about it. Pre TDSotM and other than Echoes, I only really like bits and pieces here and there on the earlier albums. And after WYWH…some of Animals, but The Wall…mmmh…bits of it. But after that I just disconnected from it. I couldn’t be bothered. Still a great band, but yes…I must admit…probably overrated.
So Andy…Thankyou…and yes I agree that New Order are/were better overall than Joy Division…as good as Joy Division were.

If he thinks Pink Floyd are the most overrated band of all time, he doesn't understand music.
He's also never listened to Comfortably Numb.
The most overrated band in the world is, obviously, The Smiths.

The Clash.

Male singers with whingy voices and acoustic guitars like that ginger Scottish bloke whose name escapes me.

ps the Smiths were class.
Not as good as the Stranglers, Devo, Magazine etc. but still class, unlike the Clash!

The clash! God.
Should I say or should I go now? Well considering if you go there will be less trouble than staying then you go. Song over.
