Every music snob I’ve ever met raves about ‘Love will tear us apart’ as if it’s some sort of musical gift from god. It’s not.
Utter dirge.
That triggers what I think should be triggered, love will tear us apart is probably what Joy Division are most known for BUT for me it isn't their best song, just the most popular to the masses. The basslines and Ian Curtis' moody vocals and stage presence I think are influential and ahead of their time.
Absolutely respect your opinion, Joy Division split opinions, they are not cheery records. I love their work but understand why anyone would be turned off them
I want to say this thread is full of controversial opinions.... I'm quite surprised. I get the impression that people just consider any well-known bands or solo musicians that they personally don't like as "overrated".😅
All music that I don't like is crap, boring, and overrated, If you don't like my choice of music then theres just something wrong with you.
I hope that sums things up.
This is a thread about music you find overrated, not that you don’t like.
I hope that sums things up.
All music you dont like is overrated.
But not all music you find overrated you don’t like…
Exactly.
I love quite a few Pink Floyd albums and two or three by Radiohead... but in terms of the acclaim they get, and their ratio of quality output vs the dross - they're two of the most over-rated bands on the planet!

LWTUA was the nearest thing JD got to a commercial single release and is significantly unrepresentative of most of their material. Don't like them, by all means The sheer number of artists that reference JD as influential cements their place in the pantheon
I’ll touch on what I have kind of said before. Some of a the music by a musician or band can be overrated but I don’t think a band can be overrated if they are trailblazers or leave a fantastic legacy.
I’m not a massive fan but can never see how The Beatles can ever be overrated. The amount of great songs that Lennon and McCartney wrote, that people still know now and have influenced other bands and popular culture set them apart from many others.
Even Queen left some kind of legacy, whether it be to Rock Opera or a great live band. Although let’s face it, stuff like Bicycle Ride is one of their many Yellow Submarines.

Both desparate to be relevant.

Coldplay - Average pop band.
Elbow - Boring beyond belief.
One of the most influential acts of our generation spanning decades.
In my opinion.
I think most pop music is alright and I can kind of enjoy it, doesn't irritate me at all, but this band... I can't begin to fathom their popularity.
U2
Drake
Ed Sheeran

Everything else is just a general dislike
I love the first 49 seconds of Gimme Shelter and a couple of other little bits.
The new record is dog shit. The single Angry is closer to over polished pop than anything remotely edgy. It's is full on middle of the road dad rock.
Don't like them, by all means
