stu_g Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oasis, any album i tried to like them but i never really got the hype also Muse i tried to get into them i even bought a couple of there albums, i thought sometimes the singer sounded a bit like thom yorke and it was too technical just for the sake of it.

darkandrew Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 [quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1484701081' post='3217708'] Radiohead for me as well. Thom Yorke's voice is an irritating whine and the music shows an utter lack of ideas. [/quote] I've never taken to Radiohead either. I even bought a couple of their albums to give them a fair chance but still couldn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bassman7755 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Bat out of hell (other than the title track which is one of the best rock songs ever written). Maybe we need another thread of "one track wonder" albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Pet Sounds. Now, I love vocal harmonies, so this goes against convention for me. I'm not knocking the vocal harmonies (which are superb) but the music and overall sound of the band. I can't abide The Beach Boys' sound. It is lame and lightweight, and the music lacks balls. There is a castrati sound to the vocals which is just too much to bear. And a lot of people say they dislike The Beach Boys, but love God Only Knows....well sir, that's the Beach Boys song I hate the most. Lovely sentiment in the lyrics, but just a cloying, sickly tune to me. I mean no offence to fans - you'd hate a lot of stuff I like, no doubt. I justbhave a particular distaste for The Beach Boys' sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to absolutely love them, still like them a lot. It's good not everyone likes them, means the music doesn't get overplayed and you could actually get tickets to see them Although I was sat next to some drip who whined "this doesn't sound like the album" all the way through...

ezbass Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 A good few bands are just getting panned here, merely because people don't like the band. That is not the point of this thread surely. There are a good number of worshipped albums that I could easily diss because I don't like the artist. The real test of this thread is for those who are actual fans of a band's or artist's work to say that a particularly well regarded album is somewhat lacking in their opinion. So, with that in mind, I like the people who produced the following works, but the albums listed are overrated IMO. As ever YMMV: The Wall - Pink Floyd (a few good tracks but many sub par) Zep lV - Led Zep (again some goodies, but a minority) Close To The Edge - Yes (goes on a bit and I like prog - a lot) Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits (not a patch on the first 3 albums) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1484814062' post='3218607'] Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits (not a patch on the first 3 albums) [/quote] Very valid first point ezbass. It is interesting to see these opinions. I'm a Dire Straits fan, but I find album 3 to be not a patch on the first two (still quite like it) and album 4 to be a much overlooked return to form. I personally think that Brothers in Arms is a victim of when it was made, with the early pushing of studio production technology, robbing the band of their earlier, organic feel. I sort of forgive it as I think there's some great playing and some great songs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
