Even London Calling?
I always thought of The Sex Pistols as the overrated ones and The Clash as the underappreciated ones. Most people 'round here know the Clash for "Rock The Casbah", "Should I Stay Or Should I Go", and little else.

No no no. - Three great albums (four if you count the American version of "The Clash") - At the height of their powers (1979-1980) - as important as any band ever .... they then turned into cartoon characters and their act wore thin - but for a short time they were incredible.MartinFoyle wrote -
The Clash, a hugely overrated singles band
And Beck's great as well....I've seen him live a couple of times and he's as good as I've ever seen. At the HORDE festival a few years back he opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse - and old Neil was a major anti-climax after Beck.....soy un perdedor
Everyone just needs to fuckin’ relax. Smoke more weed, the world is ending.
I'm gonna have to add in my defence of Neil Young here.
He's been around a long time so he has a lot of duds, but Harvest, After The Goldrush, Tonight's The Night, and On The Beach are all brilliant albums that have stood the test of time.

I agree BC....The Clash were fantastic and 'London Calling' one of the best albums EVER....BlueChair wrote:Even London Calling?

The pistols made one good album of the same great song played lots of different ways.....

Would have agreed about Beck until 'Sea Change' came out- an incredibly honest, heartfelt record with some cracking good tunes on it.martinfoyle wrote:Have to agree about The Clash, a hugely overrated singles band. Another artist who leaves me cold is Beck. Technically brilliant, there is little or no charm about what he does. I feel much the same way about David Byrne, though I love most of his work with Talking Heads.

Lucinder Williams and Emmylou Harris - my reasons ? - they sound like 2 drunken ole biddies
Kylie Minogue - I know you guys think she has a nice arse - but she sounds like shes singing out of it!!
ACDC - hideous vocals

The pistols can hardly be overrated as everyone knows they were musically challenged, they had a major impact on musical direction though and one great album.
I think the Clash are a bit overrated but they still did some incredible stuff.
Agree wholeheartedly with Abba couln't stand them, still can't.
Bryan Adams
Ryan Adams
Duran Duran
Any band named after a city (Boston, Chicago etc.)
Madonna
Maradonna
10cc
Frank Sinatra
Beethoven
ACDC
INXS
Crowded House
Kylie

Blue Chair what you say about Neil may well be established opinion on the man, and may be a consensus of opinion in fact. I chose to list him as overrated because I think that the level of credit given to these career achievements that you list, and others, is overrated. I am not saying he sucks, or that he hasn't made some good records. I just think that the praise he has received for what he has done is excessive, and makes him overrated. Personally, I've always hated his voice, which affects my appreciation of even his best lyrics.
