The Bends is good and Karma Police is a tune, but a lot of their stuff is a bit of a dirge. Thanks, that means a lot. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because I grew up in the Beatles era, when long hair was suddenly the thing, I always thought that the brylcreemed quiff hairstyle was the most naff look ever. And his podgy face and the curled lip. Maybe if I was female, or gay, I'd get it, but I could never understand how anybody could find him attractive. Possibly if you were a teenage girl in 1956, but later generations? Why? He also refused to go down on Cybill Shepherd. Bear in mind this is when she was in her prime and in my opinion stunning. I mean, what the actual **** was wrong with the man? All those burgers and he refuses to eat that one.

villa4europe Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) talked about it before in the albums thread but this year me and some mates have been working our way through the rolling stones top 500 albums of all time, its very american and some of it maybe leans more towards bands i just dont get but i think i've done 3 maybe 4 bruce springsteen albums now and they have all been utter garbage with no redeeming features done a couple of U2 albums and they're bang average but not bad (did war last week, all that you cant leave behind, they're at least a 5/10) done 3 police albums, all would struggle to get a 1/10, i think walking in your footsteps is a genuine contender for the worst song i have ever heard modern bands I'd say red hot chilli peppers had 2 cracking albums (californication and btw) and are great live but im not sure how they've achieved what they have, lots of shit in their discography but the most overrated recent band (just beating out muse who are shit) are the killers, 1st album was a good 7/10 with some great singles, done nothing of any merit since yet they're a massive headliner band Edited August 21, 2018 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I tried to warn you... The answer to the OP is the Smiths, of course. A fountain of chicken gravy consistency sonic diarrhoea. There's loads of massive dull bands really. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 there have been some decent surprises but they are few and far between, i would say the only "winner" from it so far has been elton john, had tumbleweed connection and honky chateau and both are excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I've never really got into music from the 70s. 80s is abominable, and it seems to me the yoof of today are making the same horrendous mistakes in terms of silly barnets, shit music and style as they did back then. Anyone from the 60s, and 90s to mid 00s get a free pass from me, apart from Radiohead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Only a fan of the Stones and Pulp on that list, but I'm not sure any of them are particularly overrated. All pretty important bands in the overall scheme of things. I'll vote Oasis though, cos whilst Noel certainly knows how to write a tune, his lyrics are usually utter shite.
