Most Overrated Band Of All Time

[Rob17896]

He's right the Sex Pistols were rubbish as sure as night follows day

Punk was rubbish. A fashion started by the frauds in London. The musical equivalent of Derek Hatton, loud and dumb.

Not a massive AIC fan, but Layne Staley was an unbelievable singer. Their "Unplugged" session was one of the best. Made it look effortless. Although maybe that was the smack, to be fair.

Yeah he was properly on his arse at that point, barely opens his mouth and that voice comes out, magic.

Madness that lad, Nevermind the Bollocks is brilliant.

You're under selling Daron there, he has some brilliant songs on there and the whole Serj/Daron dynamic is part of what makes SOAD great and them the 2nd best tag team vocal partnership. The best is Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell.

He is great in the band but he's an average singer by himself and a plain bad lyricist. Lonely Day is like something your 12 yo kid would bring home from English class.
Serj needs to take the reins in that dynamic but may not want to anymore.

I saw my fair share of indie bands and Shed7 were by far the best to be honest. Didn't take themselves too seriously and the guitar player can play like Jimmy Page.

I saw them very early on, one single under their belt, at The Princess Charlotte in Leicester. Had a couple of beers with them after, nice bunch of lads, to be fair.

Don't listen to what Malcolm McLaren tells the world. It was much more organic than that.

Don't want to listen to any of it.

Hes regularly seen in various pubs in town and always best avoided. As is the aggresive buffoon from the zutons.

Dave McCabe? Seen him a few times on Lark Lane.

You will do. Hes always blundering around the place pissed doing his ultra scouse thing despite the fact that he's a wool.

Punk is too broad a spectrum to just dismiss as rubbish, loud and dumb. Unless you are pin pointing that couple of years in which case you're still probably wrong.

Arctic Monkeys are arguably underrated. Every album they change and are still fantastic. U2 have one sound and its crap.

Artic Monkeys have a certain appeal.. to rebellious 14 years boys.
Being someone who falls outside of this fairly narrow demographic it personally hold no appeal to me whatsoever.

Yeah I know it's got some good stuff on it but they couldn't play it live, they tired but they failed miserably.

Maybe they were a bit sloppy on their instruments live but I'd argue that's punk. But they've had so much influence given how short the bands lifespan was. Just look at that famous manchester gig where everyone from Morissey to the guys from Joy Division were there. I'd also even add that Liam Gallagher wouldnt sound the same without John Lydon.
