Bear in mind that Andy Edwards really likes most of the bands on his list, and actually loves some of them. He just thinks that when their catalogues are looked at as a whole they can be at best patchy, with much brilliant stuff interspersed or alongside a stuff that’s just not of the same calibre, indeed some of it is poor. Indeed he and I might well love Comfortably Numb, but can equally think much of the rest of The Wall is tedious. And then there is all the more recent or post The Wall stuff that oft is just nowhere near the Floyd classic and best stuff.These topics never work, along with Humour, comedians, movies, TV shows and music is all about taste. I have no idea why I hate the sound of certain bands and love others, I have no idea why I love some comedians and hate others, I just do and I am sure it is the same with others.
The fact of someone liking or disliking something is not relevant to whether they really are any good is it.

It is something the British are very good, enjoying hating stuff and not enjoying the stuff they love so much. In facxt people take enjoyment from finding like minded people that hate the same things they do. How sad
It's a great song with a great message that's just applicable today. Noel said he wrote it after he saw Nirvana had a song called 'I Hate Myself And I Want To Die' and he thought "sod that rubbish, I want to live forever". That perhaps doesn't quite come across in the lyrics though.Not a band but a song RadioX listeners poll for 100 best British songs had Live Forever by Oasis as number 1, it was number 1 last year too I believe, I don't mind Oasis but that song is nothing special in my opinion.
In some ways he doesn’t - he just thinks that as they are often cited as the greatest and most important band ever then they need to have the most to offer to live up to that - and as much as he really likes Floyd - most especially the Syd Barrett era stuff and that which Barrett inspired, he thinks they just don’t merit being on the top of the very highest pedestal. Their catalogue just doesn’t support it.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.

So why isn't Zappa on his list? Now there's a musical genius, but 90% of his output is just painful.Bear in mind that Andy Edwards really likes most of the bands on his list, and actually loves some of them.

Sitting through Andy's videos requires the patience of a saint. He could make his (often very valid) points in 1/10th of the time he takes.But he explains all of this in his video.
I guess when you only have ten…So why isn't Zappa on his list? Now there's a musical genius, but 90% of his output is just painful.

(Mind you, he's a hell of a drummer).
Maybe he felt he couldn’t have both the The Beach Boys and the Beatles on his listI could sail through life without ever listening to another Beatles song.
I saw The Clash 8 times between 1977 and 1981. The best gigs I've ever seen in my life, and my favourite band to this day. I loved punk, but without them it would have been a dead end. They turned a lot of people on politically, and weren't afraid to experiment musically.ps the Smiths were class.
Not as good as the Stranglers, Devo, Magazine etc. but still class, unlike the Clash!
Some Beatles songs I don't mind listening toI could sail through life without ever listening to another Beatles song.
But you don't have to, I don't listen to any music I dont' like, why would I. Even on teh radio I am a serial station hopper, if it's playing anything I don't like I move on to the next. Now stuff I don't mind or care about is different. It's the same with tv's, movies and books, if I don't like it I don't do it. It always amazes me how many people wade through stuff they dislike, life is way too short for that.I could sail through life without ever listening to another Beatles song.
For me over rated bands include U2 and oasis.
Can't stand either of them .
So in my tiny mind they are over rated big time.
I'm a big Queen fan so I've glossed over the tosh some have posted . With a band such as Queen, along with many others, if you release enough albums, you are bound to have fillers in there, name me an album that doesn't? Put together a Greatest Hits album though and every one is a banger. It's not even a struggle to fill that album. They probably warrant a double album / cd of belters.Queen’s Night at the Opera has some great tracks but also a couple that just in it out to make the numbers up. Queen were fading away badly till Live Aid gave them a second life. Michael Jackson similarly till the Thriller album.
