Salsaboy mentioned that U2 are in his top 3 on another thread, so thought I'd start a thread.


Obviously all very subjective so let's not argue, just wondering who people consider overrated.



I'll open with the bleeding obvious.


Coldplay.


PS. I'm not what you'd call a U2 fan, only own one album which a mate inexplicably got me for Christmas years ago. Think they've produced some utter shit.


But, I think they've produced a few really great songs.

Reading that old thread is interesting. I said the Pixies and Nirvana.


Giggirl (Gawd bless 'er) gave me some tickets to check The Pixies out at Brixton, and I had a great time and really enjoyed the gig, and then I downloaded loads of their stuff, and now it gets skipped if it ever comes on my ipod.


Similar to "The Boss", the wife and I saw him live last summer (or was it the one before) and it was good fun, but when a song comes on it tends to get skipped.


But agree with *bob* on that last thread I guess. Who are any of us to say something is "overrated"? Ig millions of people have bought an album and you dislike it, who are you to tell those millions that they are wrong.


I admit that for me it's far too much about personality.


Chris Martin = twat = Coldplay are shit.


Artic Monkeys = twats = They're shit.






Radiohead were just shit though.

I am but a delicate flower.


Jere comes your man is a wonderful tune, as are a few others, but I dunno...

Look no further than Genesis, U2, Coldplay and Stone Roses. All have front-men who are bell-ends, perhaps my choices are driven by this one commonality, that said, there are probably plenty bands lead by of bell-ends out there I do like though can't think of any right now.

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
