PieFacE Posted November 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2014 I went for Queen. Literally one of my most hated bands, can't stand anything about them. Never understood how anyone could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I grew up with them, I'm a massive queen geek Similar. Loved them when I was younger. Still have a soft spot for them. Assuming Freddie was still alive, I can't think of another band I'd like to see play a headline set at a big stadium. I dislike stadium rock to be honest, but for Queen I'd make an exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I get the live show appeal of queen, the man could put on a show and had an amazing voice Not good enough to carry on without him though, they've flogged the dead donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 i think queen are a great band but ive just never really got into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The list is of bands I either love or have barely heard anything from. I guess Coldplay is the only one that is a bit meh. Oasis are one of the greats just because of The Masterplan album and the b-sides that didn't even get on it. Much more than just a two album band. Most overrated band, I agree with Joy Division/New Order early on in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 checks Pelle isn't looking .... Watched a show on ITV the other night about Queen ... it showed an insight into how they wrote the songs , how they evolved , how David Bowie was a bit of a cock with Under Pressure and so on the interesting thing was that loathe them or loathe them their music is quite diverse ... where as you can hear one Coldplay song and you've no need to listen to the rest of their entire catalogue as it's the same .. Queen to their credit mixed it about a bit ... We will rock you .. it's just foot stomping and hand clapping with a guitar riff at the end .. nobody released records like that ..but they did ... Bohemian Rhapsody ... 6 mins long with a mini opera in the middle nobody released singles like that ... but they did ... Elvis tribute act , sure lets do it and release crazy little thing called love ..bit of funk , sure lets release another one bites the dust ..bit of gospel , well lets do Somebody to love their music isn't for me but to call them over rated I think is wrong .. for the fan boys then sure they over rate them ( as do fans of any bad ) , but the rest of us are probably guilty of under rating them i feel so dirty have written that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Iron Maiden and AC/DC should definitely be added to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I was tempted to say David Bowie, I know he's got a few alright songs but I can't really understand why his music's so revered as much as it is. He's savvy, chooses his co-conspirators with care and skilfully managed to reinvent himself every few years to stay relevant. Hate him. Can't sing and steals ideas - BBC4's Krautrock documentary is well worth a watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Surprised The Smiths aren't in the list. A highly rated band who go down like marmite. Personally I adore them. But many don't. Edited November 14, 2014 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted November 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Arcade fire or artic monkeys!' Nah both quality bands. Arctic Monkeys seem to be the only band of the past 10 years who can continually write good albums. All other bands seem to disappear after 1 or 2 albums.

rjw63 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Iron Maiden and AC/DC should definitely be added to that list. Iron Maiden - yes. I don't get their appeal. Rock-by-numbers. AC/DC - with Brian, yes. Just not nearly as good as AC/DC with Bon - NO! With Bon Scott they were **** awesome. As for other comments, I'd agree with Arctic Flunkeys. can't stand that whiney northern accent going on about dressing gowns knickers and the pub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
