Controversial one this, because 1. They are my favourite band, and 2. They are, or were, very very fashionable after they went global 40 years ago.

Over rated because they have not really written a decent song for 35 years, they were going nowhere fast until they lucked out on a producer they hated, and hardly reinvented anything. One trick ponies and very very formulaic.

I give you, in the spirit of the thread title, AC/DC.

Thing is, they are popular and we’re never ‘rated’ by musos to begin with.

They are on my DNR form. If I’m ever comatose, they have to play What’s Next to the Moon and if my toes don’t move they can unplug me.

Thanks mate I'll give them a listen. I don't really like putting a blanket over a genre and dismissing it so if i can find some stuff i like that will make me happy.

I could never get into jazz for years, just couldn't get it. Then i started hanging out at a jazz pub in bristol and couldn't get enough of it. Maybe I'll make a punk yet ha.

Forget seeing them as punk and it might work for you. I could just as easily see them as folk with great guitar and bass lines. Then reggae/dub influenced and just good old rock n roll.
 

The 1975 are massively overrated

My favorite song of theirs is “The Sound” which I found out they wrote as a self-parody... that explains why it’s actually good
