Gonna Run 2 U said:Whenever U2 items are for sale they have Radiohead as related. I see no relation, they are crap. Karrrrmmmaaaa Pooollliiiceee = awful. People claim that U2 are the most over rated band - WRONG, Radiohead is definitely up there. I feel that people say they like them to feel sophisticated and have a "good taste" in music. They are experimental garbage...sorry i had to get that off my chest.

intedomine said:Pretty overhyped band
If "attitude" and "rock" means childish and amateurish attempt at mainstream radio hits for teenagers like Vertigo and Elevation, I prefer a band with zero rock and zero attitude rather than that selling out MTV papDarkAcrobat said:Oh Jebus !, zero rock, zero attitude, just some atmopsherics divagations, poor melodies, layers and layers of mumbled electro effects, with "strangcryptic chords, and "seudo-mystic" lyrics: "yeah, everybody will choke, someday !!"

OVERHYPED? by whom? Since 2000 they've made almost no singles, no promo videos, no interviews, no MTV, no Super Bowl, no Oprah, no iPod, no commercials, etc, etc. Nowhere near as the amount of canned s*** that surround every new U2 release, Bono's moneytalks, Grammys and Rolling Stones magazine included

they're not perfect but they're still pushing the envelope.
joyfulgirl said:The pay-what-you-want download of In Rainbows was definitely a big push of the envelope.

Yeah, I actually think this has really been blown out of proportion as well, indie bands have been giving out their music from their website for years now... And technically they were an Indie band at the time, they just happen to the biggest Indie band at the time.
Fair enough...joyfulgirl said:
Yeah, unknown bands have been giving their music away because it was sometimes the only way to be heard at all. Completely different than Radiohead giving theirs away.
joyfulgirl said:
But the whole concept of what's overrated has always been hard for me to wrap my brain around. The whole argument seems kind of silly.
BonoVoxSupastar said:
I agree, and I definately don't believe they are overrated...
