Who is the most overated

[thepeoplesgame]

the manics are class.

I also agree. If anything they are underrated.

[Simon Pieman]

Thing is, there are bands I detest which seem to have contributed to music. Saying Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones are overrated is a bit extreme imo. How many iconic rock riffs did Led Zepp produce? Jimmy Page is a brilliant guitar player.

The Stones were one of the bands to pave the way for rock music and certainly British bands going to America. Those are some decent achievements.

If someone says Kasabian as an example (again subjective on musical tastes), you'd have to ask what they have done as a band. They haven't shaped music, they're not massively different to anything else. If someone said they were overrated I'd have a harder time arguing against it (I probably wouldn't), but I do own their albums and like a few of their songs.

Most U2 songs are terrible and Bono is a twat, yet they are still revered by many...

Lucien speaketh truth.

faith and pornography are immense

The two don't normally go too well together...most people I know who have faith are not keen on porn.

I might be alone in this, but i really like Second Coming... i could listen to it over and over.

You are not alone.

You are not alone.

Michael Jackson?  What's he got to do with it?  Not one of his best Jay!

I have never seen the attraction of the Rolling Stones.

The Rolling Stones "The London Years"(their 60's stuff) is a quality 3 cd collection, some quality tracks on there!  Not so keen on their later material.
