Alpha Centauri is not a star.... Its actually 2 stars, (binary system)

So you have answered the question, which star couple is over rated.

Its actually a triple star system, Proxima Centauri is a star which orbits the Alpha Centauri system.

I just knew that some pedant would wade in! Crab Nebula is a whole load of them. They all like group sex. Hello told me.. it must be true.

Also the Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant (planetary nebula), not a star forming nebula (interstellar nebula) so the only star there is a Neutron Star.

I studied astro-physics and astronomy.

While I agree with Peter Kay, whose entire act seems to consist of having a hilarious Northern accent, and I can see how the Stone Roses (good as they were) could be seen as overrated, I'm struggling with AC/DC. Unless, of course, you mean the rather sad, sub-Spinal Tap parody they became after about 1980.

Funny the AC/DC thing. I grew up in the 70s and 80s with the Jam, the Clash, Joy Division etc, Mrs UD grew up with AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and "rock", for want of a better word. So i never really heard much rock music until about 10 years ago. I've really tried to like them because i know i should, but i just can't. Some of the opening chords promise greatness but then they all sound much the same to me. I don't know whether the stuff i've heard is pre or post 1980, so speaking from a position of ignorance i guess.
By the way i'm also having the same difficulty with Led Zeppelin, but i'll leave that for another day.

Unfortunately I can't say the same for most of his other collegues such as Humble, Oddie, King, and Baker, who just get on my tits!
