Most overrated band?

[Rhythm Thief]

In line with FM and Andy in Sig's comments on another thread ... what's your vote for the most overrated band ever?
I'd go with Led Zep, much as I enjoy some of their music: they seemed to me to claim authorship of a lot of songs which they didn't actually write (Babe I'm gonna leave you, Nobody's fault but mine, White Summer/Black Mountain Side, to name but three). But I'd also throw in a vote for Robbie F*cking Williams. How he's managed to build a career on some mediocre songs and an album of third rate Sinatra covers beats me.
Anyway, over to you.

The Beat-less!

Oasis

Ditto

Coldplay, like listening to music from inside a dead sheep.

Police, see above but with a white man ragga beat.

Level 42, Turgid thumb slapping elevator music.

Rolling Stones...........flippin' din

Beatles seem to be put head and shoulders over all else so while good in parts are hugely over rated.

Kylie has really never had a good record! Can you think of any you would not regret buying? But she makes up for it with a nice bum.

The Beat-less!

Totally agree...I just don't get what the hype is all about.

Three Came Straight To Mind, Theyve Already Been Mentioned, But:-

The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Oasis

There Are Lots That Are Overrated, But These Are Amazingly Overrated, Even So By The Musicians Themselves, They Pretty Much All Think Theyre The Best Ever, Oasis Especially Should Take Their Heads Out Of Their Arses...

I thought we only had one choice!

I agree with your 2nd and 3rd nominations.

The Beatles. Maybe it was not anywhere near born during the 60s but I don't really get it and the constant references to them. A lot of modern bands physically look similar and their music looks very similar too.
