Overrated singers and bands
by eddie Sun Apr 03, 2016 5:02 pm
First topic message reminder :
Who do you consider to be really overrated?
Mine has to be Oasis - loved their first single "Some might say" but always found their music too predictable and Liam Gallagher's voice really grates on my nerves!
Noel, the real talent, has a better voice IMO
Also never understood the fascination with U2 (can't stand Bono) or the Manic Street Preachers.

WHAT?????? GO WASH YOUR GOB OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
And you too Rags - :p
I will totally back up Horatio on The Ginger Gits - ugh ugh ugh ugh
Syl too right about Everybody Hurts - I bawl. My favorites of theirs: Bad Day and Its The End Of The World
My personal choices:
Celion Dion - NO NO NO NO NO NO
Kanye - BARF
Justin Bieber - My ears bleed.....a lot
Stupid ass novelty songs - The Macarena, anything by the Cheeky girls, Barbie Girl - I feel intensely ill (although the ketchup song had a very good beat) etc...
Katy Perry - I don't know why
Meghan Trainor - she gets on my very last nerve
Shakira - screech much?
Lionel Ritchie - but if ive had a few I will dance - dammit
Most of Disco, Rap, all of house, Eurovision thrash metal, Enya and similar, and cheesy pop and country AND western.

Re Lionel Richie, I have to agree with ....
Cass!
That stuff like Three times a lady, Easy, and Hello does my head in. I did like Dancing on the ceiling though.
On the X Factor if they have a Motown night, someone always picks Lionel Richie.

Yes that's one song though, I'm not keen either.
His album songs are normally better (find that with most artists actually)
All Night Long is a great song, so is Running with the night

I cant help it with those two. I'm sorry. But I'm married to a former ginger and currently one son is and its quicker than saying those twin brothers with red hair who are Scottish and sing like they are being castrated.

HOW about the phrase 'rangas'* -- have either of you heard that one before ?

Is it true that the man in the group never actually sang?

I agree 100% about Boney M....could never stand them and when I occasionally find myself singing along to one of their songs I want to slap myself.
I like Cold play though.

Me too...and does anyone really sound that Scottish when they sing?
There is something really irritating about an over egged Scottish accent. Lulu lapses into it every now and again....odd saying she left there about 60 years ago.
