As for Radiohead, I quite disliked them for a long time. I thought they were pretentious and overrated. But my friend badgered me until I listened to them, so for about ...]]> Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:29:37 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p49436 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p49436 Katy Perry is heavily praised on commercial radio and, as far as i am aware has won plenty of awards (yip a google search brings up a wiki page listing the awards Mrs Brand has been nominated for and/or won. To even be nominated is to be highly rated, especially when its for a Grammy). 

Bon Jovi are often seen as one of the best groups of that type of 80's Pop Rock (or whatever it is they played) and another wiki search brings up that they are in the UK Music Hall of Fame (whjat would i do without wikipedia).

I knew ...]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:34:10 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p49435 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p49435 Gettin' some weird definitions of "overrated" here - in what universe have Poison, Bon Jovi or Katy Perry been highly rated?! (except by their fans, I suppose)

dont get me wrong but some of their stuff is great but most of it is mediocre at best

Of the music at the moment Lady Gaga has been so hyped and overrated. At the beginning her music was different from the rest whilst being listenable. However she has become so caught up in it all and now tries too hard to be different to the point where its really pretentious and annoying.

Every Katy Perry song sounds exactly like the last. Can she please get a new tune.

The one singer on earth i cannot ...]]> Thu, 24 Nov 2011 22:55:51 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p47192 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p47192 Led Zeppelin. That's my vote.

Plenty of other bands I could list but won't. Right now, I am irked by Adele, who is terribly overrated both as a songwriter and a vocalist. Listening to her makes my own vocal cords hurt. Not at all surprised she had to have surgery--she has very poor singing technique. What she had was something that a lot of rock/pop vocalists develop from bad technique (or rather, NO technique). You just don't hear about it much because their publicists don't want the fans to worry. But there a handful of  throat doctors who specialize in treating ...]]> Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:21:02 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p46967 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/most-overrated-band-ever/page-3/#p46967 I find the Beach Boys enjoyable to a certain extent. I love their singles. After watching 50 First Dates for the first time in years, I was loving that they were playing the Beach Boys. Wouldn't It Be Nice is such a fun song. But I've listened to Pet Sounds and I wanted to fall asleep. I've listened to that album as a whole in months in fear I will fall asleep while trying to do homework (I listen to music while I do work). They are a great summer band if you listen to them in small doses.

The last straw was their dreadful cover of Rock and Roll Music. And the really lame surfing songs. So much so ive never heard Pet Sounds as the thought of going anywhere near one of their albums sends shivers down my spine. God Only Knows and Good Vibrations ive heard far too many times.

Im not a fan.

I like the Beach Boys but I'm not a big fan. I'd be happy to get a "Greatest Hits" album. I like some of their songs like the one Joe posted. (Excellent choice)
