Most overrated - a thread about overrated things

Yes, this is not a 'List of things I hate' thread!

I know
but alot of them are over rated
you could say most things are
although you could also say most things are under rated

How is plastic overrated? Is it even rated?

most things are rated

and if sheldon brown was rated hed be high up there

il stop posting now
i get the messege

having a 'cheeky Volvic in my 5 minute break at work'

Ant & Dec. Adored by ITV and stupid people. Corpse rapists. Barely fit to be rendered into animal feed.

Norman Jay

Too right...
Boo-ed at the garden festival in Croatia last year.

Arctic Monkeys. Model-popping chart-topping festival faves. Fucking shit.

Oasis

My Bloody Valentine. 'Loveless' is great, but not the earth shattering genius it's supposed to be. 'Souvlaki' by Slowdive is a better shoegaze record in my less than humble opinion.

Slowdive are awesome. Good shout.
On to the overrates...

Shakespeare
Redbull
golden virginia
swine flu
walkers crisps (the normal ones)
Memento.

The Watchmen movie needs burning. I went in with an open mind and came out just entirely confused with what the fuck they were trying to do.

In fairness to MBV they do play their instruments very loudly, which must count for something.

Internet abbreviations.

My Bloody Valentine are shit. The only people that rate them are 15 year old girls.

This goes for any other emo band.

lol, wtf?

Thinking My Bloody Valentine are emo is not only overrated but retarded. Kevin Sheild's solo stuff might be a little whiney but they are shoegaze through and through.

Shit!! I got mixed up between them and My Chemical Romance. Hahaha, shows what I know!

That's cool, I made that mistake in the past. My Chemical Romance really are fucking bullshit though. The only decent emo is emotive/hardcore like Fall Of Troy, and even they arn't any good.

Go check My Bloody Valentine anyway, they're loud...

In a similar vain,

Biffy Clyro

and of course the absolute zenith of the overrated world....

Oasis

I never understand why people who claim to like, dylan, the beatles, led zeppelin etc also often drop the 'O' bomb. They are dull dull dull droning pub rock with and attitude that smells. Why on earth are they so popular?

Oh, also.

Tim Burton.

Fair enough edward scissorhands came together to be one of the best pop films ever but my god, nearly everything else is diabolically shit.

Big Fish & Charlie & the Chocolate factory are good examples.

That's a good one. You forgot to mention his woeful remake of Planet of the Apes.

And Sleepy Hollow - which again stars Johnny Depp! Surely one of the most overrated human beings to walk the earth. Though he does have impressive cheekbones.
