Most Overrated Band/Artist Ever
Most Overrated Band/Artist Ever
OK, let's stir things up. You only get to pick one. You can choose to explain. Or not. Personal attacks will not be condoned, although healthy disagreements are acceptable.
I'll start:
The Doors

Cosmos: Incorrect, but an understandable feeling
El Vez: Correct, but don't tell any of my bandmates I said that
Red Shoes: Incorrect, you can't just tolerate the egos, you must embrace them as well
Time(e): Dancing: correct, otherwise incorrect
Blue Chair: Correct, although woulda been, coulda been
Johnfoyle: Correct, but don't tell my girlfriend
Jackson Monk: Coldplay: Correct, Nirvana: a gruding correct, although there's nothing to match them for when they hit the airwaves
No Doors fans out there to tell me how thick I am?

I don't hate them - but I don't like them very much - at least they were different - but the Morrison cult wears very thin and Ray Manzarek appears to be a huge wanker -No Doors fans out there to tell me how thick I am?
How about -
Pink Floyd
Everyone just needs to fuckin’ relax. Smoke more weed, the world is ending.
My thoughts on the Doors is that they are good for the occasional single if you haven't listened to the radio in a couple of years. On days that I can tolerate it, their self-titled debut is a pretty solid listen. I like "Peace Frog." But The Doors always remind me of 14 year olds who think that Jim Morrison is some kind of sage. So to me that definitely equates to overrated.
My thoughts on Pink Floyd are similar. I like Dark Side Of The Moon and the occasional other song, but most of their career bores me.

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.
Ok, this is getting silly GRRRRR - Pink Floyd pushed the boundries of popular music just as much as the Beatles if not more so - Wish You Were Here is as good if not better than The Dark Side of the Moon - both albums still manage to sound pretty damn impressive 30 years after they were made - not to mention Syd Barrett practically owning psychedelic pop music with Bike, Arnold Layne and See Emily Play - and Animals, made in 1977 sounds more hard hitting and politically subversive today than anything Johnny Rotten and his mates came up with - which actually leads me to the most over rated band on the planet - the Sex Pistols

Agree wholeheartedly with Pink Floyd as one of the most overrated bands in the universe.

Also think the Doors have a place on this list.
I'll pick: Yes.

Yes? No - Close to the Edge is brill as is Roundabout , Starship Troopers and most of Relayer - though I will admit Jon Anderson and his Total Mass Retain bollocky lyrics are kinda naff - but hes a great singer.
Queen? Well kinda - but Sheer Heart Attack is a great great guitar album - and the bit in Now Im Here that goes all stereo pan crazy is k classic as is the rest of that album - Bohemian Rhapsody I never really liked.
Abba? - finally I agree with someone. Utter bollocks - hated them then , hate them now and if I never hear Dancing Queen again it will be too soon. Music for girlie girls to dance around their handbags to (sorry ladies, )
Having defended the Progsters and offended the ladies Im off darn the boozer - its Friday after all.
