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
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.
