      What a thread this was, just read through it :D

      Most overrated band, that I absolutely can’t stabd is U2. Bono always holding a candle to something and their music is generic crap (in my opinion).

      Oh and Muse are brilliant live!

      I'm with you.
      U2 are utter utter sh*te

      Call me a parishioner at the church of U2! Not even Bono's comical politicking can get in the way of me adoring so many of their albums although I fear that such stunts have got in the way of their legacy which in my view is bloody great. The Edge - OH MY! If ever a man painted landscapes with his guitar it was Edge circa 1984 on The Unforgettable Fire - such a beautiful album of space and blended sounds! And then there was the chainsaw buzz and agony he provided on Achtung Baby which makes that one of the most satisfying albums I've ever listened to!

      Underrated acts? I liked the shout for Tears for Fears above. Good call. Very good call!

      Overrated? Kasabian. Lad rock, Soccer AM bullshit complete with their very own 'build your own rock guitarist' walking cliche that is Serge Pizzorno. As for Tom Meighan? Not a very good singer. Not good at all.

      I knew you’d be in the defend U2 FMS :D

      Good shout on Kasabian, load of sh*te.

      Another overrated one, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Few decent songs but nothing special and stand out really.

      Underrated, The Temper Trap. Saw them live a few years ago and really love their stuff.

      Quite amazed to see the comments about Kasabian, seen many live bands but Kasabian ranks with the best.

      Guns N Roses are one of the greatest rock bands of all time.. I would even go as far as to say THE GREATEST. What you reckon guys?

      seriously? better than AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, Van Halen? not even in the top 10. They had one good album with a few good songs then went downhill from there.

      Bang on. I came to that view when I watched a truly dull and uninspiring documentary of them that was directed by Shane Meadows. 'There is nothing to this lot' I thought. Their comeback only revealed to me what a myth they were. Endless shows of playing the same album over and over again. Don't get me wrong, their debut has some great moments (like the first half of I Am The Resurrection only for it to be ruined by a non sensical and self indulgent second half) but that album in itself is way overrated with enough throwaway on it to be considered just so. This is the One - what a load of sh*t that song is and not just because the Mancs walk out to it.

      I quite like the Stone Roses, but the status they have in the UK really feels way over the top. They were good, not legendary or anything. I'm amazed they can sell out Wembley these days.

      I also like Kasabian though I can understand why some people won't. They're so much fun live, though. I'd definitely watch them again.

      I think this guy is underrated:

      I hadn't listened to Ben Kweller in years until a friend mentioned him days ago and I got back to listen to it. His album Sha Sha is fantastic. I can leave it on repeat while I work and not get tired of it.

      They were more prominent in the early 00s but I always thought Idlewild were a superb band. American English is a wonderful song especially - great melody. Roddy Woomble has turned in a great solo career as well, including some fine Scottish folk albums.
