They created a whole movement in music for a few years which was amazing to be apart of when I was about 18. Was such an exciting time.

The Arctic Monkeys are the best band ever because they are better than a Status Quo / Beatles cover band, sealed it for me, I've changed my mind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do still think there’s a “brand” that people go for, but not to the same extent as the Ramones. I think it’s kind of difficult for the conversation to not stray into bands you just don’t get. You’re more inclined to think stuff you don’t get is overrated. If I look at stuff I like. I love pink floyd, but I sometimes think their stuff they did with Syd is put on too high a pedestal. Some of it is very good, but I think they became a much better band later on. I feel the Syd stuff is held in a high regard because of his “lost genius” status. I agree with this. But then I don't like them after Dark Side either. Saucerful, UmmaGumma, Atom Heart, Meddle (and the film soundtracks) are the peak period for me.

BOF Posted August 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2018 The problem with having a valid opinion on something like this is that you have to have a fairly complete knowledge of a band's discography, but to then think they're over-rated is to probably* not like them. You don't often bother knowing the entire discography of a band you don't like. * not definitely, but highly likely 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2018 No-one's mentioned Nirvana yet, now there's a T-Shirt band I should say at this point I like them, hell I even saw them live but they are definitely not as good as their reputation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I couldn't possibly attribute Nirvana to being overrated. Or The Smiths, before they get mentioned, which i'm sure they have been Edited August 22, 2018 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Such an easy question. I immediately thought of those two Manc brothers who cant sing, cant stop slapping each other, and just rip off everyone else who has written music since the 60s. Just climb your stupid wonder wall and fall off it head first, you talentless hacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Arctic Monkey's are shit. They were big when I was 16/18 with that shitty "you look good on the dance floor" shit, were constantly on the shitty radio stations and I even heard Noel Gallagher say "they're the best young band around at the moment" and I STILL thought they were shit. I hate them. I hate all their shitty songs. I hate their wannabe punk/rock and roll fake-ness when they are more of a shitty indie rock shit band. They are awful, their fans a more awful and **** this, **** me for mentioning their shitty band and **** you for liking it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just mad because they kick off in your country every time they stepped foot in it And how anyone can moan about Oasis taking influence from their favoured music when *LITERALLY* every, single other artist/band do that is laughable.
