I vaguely remember a most underrated and overrated band thread a while back… anyway most overrated for me is REM. I saw them supporting U2 in the late 80’s and they were terrible. |  | | |

U2 are massively overrated and disappeared up their own arses in the mid 80s. |  | | |

The first band that came to mind. Saw them at The Venue in New Cross when there was a big buzz about them and thought they were bang average. I know a lot of people love them and it’s all about opinions, but to me, they have 2-3 decent/good tunes and the rest of it is completely forgettable and dull. |  |

It's a fun idea for a thread but it's just about bands or music we don't like, isn't it?
The world and its dog seem to rate ABBA. I simply cannot listen to them and never have. Yet, one or two bands mentioned already such as the Beach Boys are also universally rated that I love.
Personal tastes Shirley. |  | | |

Every band that ever existed is overrated.
Bar one.
And it ain’t JoBoxers. |  | | |

Haven't we had this thread about 10 times already 
U2 always come up a lot .
It's all a question of taste though. I find Elvis Costello to be a dreadful pub singer with an annoying voice, but apparently he's one the country's best songwriters and I just can't see it. | | | |

It's all subjective, but I bet a lot of the bands/artists we can't stand or we feel are overrated are better than the dross/drivel seen on the Brits last night. But this is the view of a 58 year old rock fan. |  | | |

Pretty much this. And I generally find the more mainstream/well known an act is the more "cool" it is to say you dislike it and they're overrated (sets you out from the crowd innit).
People frequently list The Killers on these sort of things, but we absolutely love The Killers in my household and I will admit to having a bit of a man crush on Brandon Flowers 
For me it would be Kasabian, but given they are a Leicester band be careful what you say about them in this city because they are very protective of their hometown band...as I've found out with friends on numerous occasions  |  | | |

Totally agree.
How you can go from ‘1-in-10’ and ‘Earth die screaming’ to ‘Red red wine’ and look yourselves in the mirror I’ll never know!
Mention for Dire Straits: utterly dull. |  |

(BTW, in my ears, and those of many others, OASIS were superb - brilliant times running alongside the explosion of a more underground scene of music one or two may have heard of…….. each to their own though. Music is the food of love; so play on) |  |

Yes similarly saw then at The Enterprise in Camden around '93 / '94 I think, they were genuinely awful, especially the drummer.
Best bit of the night was them all piling downstairs into the pub after their set and (Noel I think it was) arrogantly shouting the question to the entire pub 'what did you think of that then?' to which we all replied 'fcking shite' mate. They were NOT happy. |  | | |

So many genres to choose from that didn't float my boat then suddenly will find a track that is really cool, thankfully my tastes are much more eclatic than they used to be and the various music threads on here have been an eye/ear opener with some of the tracks listed.
Still can't stand rap though !
Top of my list is Queen followed by Queen, then Queen again.
Utter , utter bilge |  | | |
