How exactly are they overrated...no one has ever said they're the best band ever. They made two great albulms and got the respect they deserved for that and also lack of respect for the following one's.
The Darkness are overrated certainly.
U2 are pretty fucking dreadful in my opinion, too, yet there are only a few people with whom I can voice that opinion without having Bono's many virtues extolled, and being condescended to about not understanding their music. Give me a break.
I really dislike Jack Johnson, Oasis, U2 and Coldplay, because they're turning into U2 with all this stadium rock.
As a Coldplay fan, I have to disagree. They definately deserve their attention. How much of them have you heard? It's not Speed of Sound and Clocks that are the good songs... it's:
Fix You
Green Eyes
Swallowed in the Sea (great)
Beautiful world (their best )
But then again, music is entirely based on opinion.
"Fix You" is godawful.
I notice you don't name anything from the first album. Fool.
I completly agree. Such a snoozer, elevator music is better. Its flat out boring. How they got so popular, god only knows, but then again, turn on the radio and I ask that question over and over again.
Yes they are overhyped - but i wouldn't say overated.. they've got the goods too. The hype just kind of .. overtook them.
I agree completely.
Not a band, but James Blunt
The Strokes, (though i do like their music..), and a lot of NME hyped bands - one that immediately springs to mind- Gorgol bordelos. UGH. Gypsy punks?! What were they on!?! Oh and The Cribs.. (loved the singles - but the album was shit.) and Clap your hands say yeah.
And more recently, Arctic Monkeys certainly.
Careful.
oh and hardfi! I hate them with a passion! haha.
:O!!!!!!!!
I love all of them, and I found out about them not through NME, but through Last.FM, and MTV2.
They are nothing special yet everyone seems to cream at the thought of them
Hearing them both makes me want to rip my own ears off
The Editors are fucking amazing live, mate. Seriously, total EARGASM!
I know, i've seen them. They were brilliant.
Bet you weren't on the guest list or got a wave from that Tom one during their wee intermission do-da
