Odd to think of someone that big playing to 200 people a couple of years after playing at Madison square garden I think I can beat that. I went to see Richie Havens in Dublin back in the early/mid 2000s at a pub called Whelans. Richie Havens opened Woodstock in front of half a million people.

All I will say is that, along with Claire Grogan, I thought about her quite a lot as I lay in my bed during those times. It actually was quite an emotional experience, so much so that I always needed to make sure I had a box of tissues on the bedside table. Hay fever?

Green Day were fine as an inoffensive pop punk outfit, but all the self satisfied bluster that came with American Idiot and onwards is embarrassing. Yeah guys, you're real rebels, sticking it to the man whilst signed to a major record label and charging your pre-pubescent fans £50 to see you caked in make up in a vain attempt to conceal the fact that you're ancient even though you dress like edgy sixth formers.

AndyinLiverpool Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I just saw an advert for the Isle of Wight festival. The 50th anniversary of the first. The headliners have, apparently, 'never been bigger'. This is a festival that has been headlined by Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, the Stones, The Who, David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen over the years. Who could this year's be to be bigger than them? Kasabian and Depeche Mode. Now that's overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Coldplay probably the most overrated - modern consumers seem to confuse not disliking something with actually liking it when its a very different thing. In the end mediocrity like Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith etc. shift mass volumes almost out of apathy. Boy bands are always hype over talent - Westlife the worst of the bunch. Hate ABBA - they are nothing more than a symbol of nostalgia for an era. Similarly I love the 80s music I grew up on but innocuous trash like Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, neon and leg warmers are highlighted as the image of a decade for whatever reason. Like ABBA all a tailored image to the hen night crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honeydrippers I think. He barely needed a mike. Not long after John Bonham died. We chanced tickets in RECords , part of the match day ritual.

needles Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Turns out that the most over-rated bands in history are the biggest bands in the genres we personally don't like. I think Pink Floyd are amazing. Give me a quiet evening, and the chance to skin up on the sleeve of DSotM or The Wall or Animals and I'm in heaven. It last happened about 15 years ago. I can also see why people hate them. Pretentious, self indulgent... I think the Beatles were OK, great in places, but in the context of their reputation that puts them as over-rated. Put them in the context of the time though and you can see why people think they were top notch. Ground breaking, original... That comment aside...the most over-rated band in history are U2.

War was a fairly good lp as well. Best Beatles stuff was Rubber soul and Revolver, not Sgt Pepper. The white album the worst in my opinion .

My older brother played this on loop when he split up with his girlfriend for about a month when I was 11- I must have heard it 5000 time's . It still makes me sweat .
