Overrated bands (musically speaking)

[Mark Bolam]

The Smiths were pure genius for me, so is The Boss.

 

It’s good we all like different stuff, though.

How boring life would be if we were all the same?

 

Stubs and Steve, if you’re going to quote Morrissey’s brilliant lyrics at least get them right!

 

Re The Beatles -

My favourite Beatles story is that at the height of Beatlemania, a reporter said to John Lennon -

‘Ringo Starr.

Is he the best drummer in the world?’

 

John said -

‘Mate, he’s not even the best drummer in The Beatles!’

[Mark Bolam]

Apparently, this never actually happened, but it’s still a great story!

I hate all that '90's utter crap, Ocean Colour Scene and Shit7 - utter twonk.

I like the Grateful Dead, hence my avatar and I am a massive Zeppelim, Purple and Sabbs fan.

Someone was slagging off the mighty Zepp earlier but for me they opened up a lot of new music with the blues influences and Folk on Zepp 3, they acted as acatalyst for me explorer newer and more obscure music and good on 'em!

Generally I'd agree too. Don't mind some of the Verve. Oasis never interested me- dull as ditch water imo, and possibly the worst song on the face of the planet- common people by Pulp, makes me cringe- all breathy down the microphone, yuk.

Are the Dead still going . I always thought Grace Slik had a tremendous voice and back in the 60s I was in love with her . She is an old woman now .....as I am an old man ! 🙂
