...and of course if you hear a Queen song on the radio( or whatever modern idiom) you don’t quietly sing or perhaps hum along😉...well I do 😀

Right Allmodcons. I'm definitely having them, but Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds? Majestic!

To be honest they do the odd good track, but I always find it incredible the disparity between the critical acclimation each album gets and the funereal dirge served up. Nick Cave could put his farts to music and people would have a sherman ☺️👍

Nobody has mentioned The Eagles so I thought I would.

The Eagles were the at the time middle of the road band who made it big.Their greatest hits 71/75 is the best selling album of all time.
Not rock music ,not music to dance to.
There's always one
Dire Straights in the 80s
Coldplay and others like Elbow more recently
There's no logical reason imo as to why they became massive but they did.

It's alright. Karma Police is great. Most of it is just quite good.

It's not a patch on say Young Team by Mogwai or something else I could probably think of.

It's all opinion innit.

I think Kid is just a sub Autechre album with some moaning over the top... But I really like Ideoteque.

Not having this td. The Bends is a perfect album - every song a work of art

Has that got Fake Plastic Trees on? I like that and Anyone can play guitar but I'm 'meh' about the rest.
 
I'm just being a contrary get. I have never quite 'got' Radiohead. It's probably cos other people like them I subconsciously but deliberately don't get them.
 
ABBA, Queen, ABBA, Carpenters, ABBA, Robbie Williams, ABBA, most bands from the noughties, ABBA, Elbow, ABBA, Police, ABBA, Coldplay, ABBA, Radiohead, ABBA and Genesis.
 
Fleetwood Mac for me. Just don't get it at all.
If you said the Beatles on this thread then you should be ashamed.

There's no logical reason.....Joe Walsh.
 
Meatloaf, all shout and little music.
The Smiths, boring and tone deaf.
The Monkeys, American hype and crap.
Blurr, and they are to me as well.

Yes The Beatles, I have to agree. I mean, apart from being the biggest selling recording artists ever, having the most No. 1s ever, cracking open the American market for British artists, being the only recording act ever to have the top 5 places in the Billboard top 100 chart, being the only act to have more than 3 Christmas No. 1s in the UK (4), being the only band in which every member has had a solo US No. 1 and which has had 3 members achieve a UK solo No. 1, being responsible for reinventing the way that recording studios are used, introducing the concept of holding concerts in sports stadiums (and rooftops), being the first artists to turn an LP into a distinct concept - as opposed to simply a collection of songs, being the only artists to date to have a number 1 single three times with the same song (I stand to be corrected on this one), and to have written and recorded the song most covered by other recording artists (apart from Happy Birthday) in the world.
Apart from that - yeah, crap.

66

I am not a big music man but I love the Beatles, always have done and always will do.

This thread is about the most overrated band though.

I don't know how you decide exactly how rated a band are/were but perhaps everybody considered the Beatles to be very, very, very good and they were only very, very good and therefore overrated ?

Maybe the thread should be about which bands get on your t1ts ?


*** 66 - Apologies and please don'r read my above chite as I wrote it before reading all the thread and you have already said the same as I said. ***


I've never really got the Rolling Stones but thought I'd better not put them down because folk would tell me how many hundreds of millions of records they'd sold.

I most certainly DO NOT. Radio goes over for every record that assaults my ears apart from Seven Seas of Rye.
 
I think the problem with this subject is, it is an age thing. There are many bands/groups now who when I hear their music I switch off, literally, but couldn't name any of them. I like music from the late fifties, sixties, and early /mid-seventies with a bit of later stuff thrown in for good measure. There was a 'song' on The Steve Wright show yesterday, some sort of girl ensemble or band and to my ears, there was just no melody, just shouting, repeating the same lines over and over again and the lead singer singing totally different 'lyrics' to the accompanying group. Compare that to The Motown era and the girl bands that were coming out of there were Supreme. (see what I did there?)

Yes, largely an age thing but if modern music for younger people did appeal to everyone I'd feel cheated if I were them.
