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.

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
