Musicians you think are overrated...

Artic Monkeys..I like some of their tracks but the album in my opinion is not up to much. The frontmans voice gets a bit irritating after a while.

Also on my list is Morrissey. I was introduced to his music when i was going through a bit of a rough patch, i swear if i was stood at the edge of the cliffs i would have jumped. The thought of listening to his new album makes me to get out the razor blades. Which is a shame because the music is good it's his lyrics that kill me.

Madonna. Good, but not THAT good.

Jamez · Mon 24 Apr, 2006 20.11

Robbie Williams. Crap crap crap, and cringeworthingly crap when he covers Queen songs.

Gnarls Barclay.

Can't stand that 'Crazy' song. I seem to be one of the few though.

And I agree about the Arctic Monkeys. They're OK, but not the most amazing thing to happen to music since the Beatles...

Blunt, anyone? As for Robbie, I think his after Take That but before firing his songwriter stuff is largely fab.

Agree with both of those, and would add Coldplay.

Coldplay are OK in small doses, but sound far too samey.

Add to that: anything played on Radio 1.

Radio 1 DID play Huey Lewis and the News at one point though! You can't tell me The Power of Love isn't just scrumtrellescent!

But if you live in Wiltshire, keep off HER footpaths!

I would definitely agree with Coldplay... why oh why are they so famous? Their songs are forgettable at best, and pretty depressing too.

I also agree with Mr Gabey RE: Robbie Williams. His first batch of songs were fanastic, my personal favourite being Lazy Days. Now, though, he's just gone up his own arse.

I didn't realise she lived in Wiltshire. So what happens if you do venture onto her footpaths?

No! No! No! This is the only contribution to this thread that i don't agree with. How dare you knock the Robster Jamezie. You are wrong i tell you wrong.

Oh and talking of Robbie, the Ordinary boys are supporting his European tour. What a gig that will be i can't wait
