Most overrated bands / artists thread

[Dopamine1979]

Fair enough.

I seem to have misunderstood.

[Otta]

Not your fault Dopamine1979, EP has moved the goal posts so many times in this thread that it now resembles Aussie rules.

[El Pibe]

universally appreciated.

:D

No...

I guess Bob Marley's OKish but there's plenty of reggae I prefer. And all that rastafari crap is idiotic beyond belief.

Music for teenagers to get stoned to while calling each other "man".

[El Pibe]

I have to say Reggae's not really my thing, but he did write some classic/lovely songs which you'd have to have a hard heart to get offended by.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Mornington Crescent.

[Jeremy]

He did indeed write some classic songs, I cannot disagree.

[El Pibe]

I don't know if that's enough for Universal acclaim though.

If writing a classic were, then Rene & Renata probably qualify for universal acclaim ;)

Hurts & The Killers.

Both underrated. Both BRILL!

[Otta]

I loved the Killers first album, but (for me) they've gone down hill ever since.

In fact my favourite song of theirs is the opening track on the debut album, so they've literally gone downhill from there.

Ooooooo, new thread.

[titch juicy]

The Killers had one or two half-decent indie pop songs on their first album and everything else they've recorded has been (to borrow a Stephen Fry-ism) rusty stool water.

[Jah Lush]

Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Both of whom have been creatively dead since the 70s, unlike their contempory Jeff Beck and fellow Yardbird who has continued to explore and generally not be boring. This from 2001.

The Fall.

Dire.

[Henry_17]

Is there a clearer candidate for underated at the time overated now than Rodriguez?
