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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
