After listening to Radio 1 all day and hearing the whiney little gits several times, I conclude;

Most. Overrated. Band. Ever.

Disagree strongly, Mr.


Gotta be one of the best "Get the <insert your own personal group of friends> together" tune producing bands around.

They arent the best thing ever, but they're good. Thumbs Up

Ah! Now you see, you've gone totally wrong by lsitening to Radio 1!

I reckon there is some media 'luvvie' in the background telling them which songs they must say they love on air, thus proceed to play it to death until everyone hates it.

Prime examples include:

Plain White T's - Hey there Delilah
Amy Wino (ft Mark Ronson) - Valerie
The Script - Man who cant be moved
Rhianna - Any track you want.


They are aired so often that they grind and piss you right off.

I quite like the Killers, and I wouldn't go as far as to say they're overrated. People who say they're overrated have generally only listened to the singles and not right through an album, where certain hidden gems lie. It's the same with any band really. People hear the singles and wonder what the fuss is about, but it only really tells half the story.

The new song isn't that good though, I'll agree on that.

Boyzone are quite clearly the worst. Their new songs are actually embarrassing.

Don't think you can find a much better party tune than mr brightside Thumbs Up .

Although their new stuff is way too commercial, and they are terrible live.

You sir, need some taste. Day & Age is epic! Cool

Don't just listen to their singles, listen to the albums, Listen to 'Dustland Fairytale' & 'A Crippling Blow' from their new album on Youtube and see if it changes your mind. Thumbs Up

These parties you go to, do they face painting and pass the parcel? Laughing

Ah Moonie.


I envy you. The parties you go to, they actually still serve birthday cake Sad


It does suck though, passing the parcel, face painting, and legally drinking.

Thumbs Down

Not really relevant, but I'd like to punch Chris Martin from Coldplay in the face. And James Blunt... but he'd probably be able to take it without blubbing like a big girl because he's an ex army officer.

Killers are acceptable in comparison, however they did steal their name from one of the best Iron Maiden albums.

1. Drinking loses it's appeal a bit when it's legal.

2. You can't have a party without jelly. And Ice cream.

I have a qualm with point 2. Garth.


Is the jelly and ice-cream covering hot, naked ladies?



If so, I totally concur.


If not. I totally concur.

I wasn't aware that Iron Maiden had any good albums, either.

That would explain alot. Laughing

Travesty! They've released a lot of studio albums (14 by my estimation) and only two of those were truly awful. And even those two had the odd good track. Although I don't own the two Blayze bayley albums so I can't comment too much on those.
