Dunno. But even if they have they deserve saying again.

Here's one that'll be controversial.

Marvin Gaye.

OK, he had his 'Grapevine' stuff, but that was just part of the Motown machine. Then his 'What's Goin' On' and 'Let's Get It On' which are over-hyped shite soon after which he made the ultimate career move of dying and is now considered untouchable.

Also known as 'Doing a Hendrix' - another one I could never fathom.

Somethings just go without saying.

Wikipedia claim that Simply Red have sold over 50 million albums. Who the fook was buying them?

Have to confess to being a M.G fan. Me and Mrs Jones and others. (Yeah, got Billy Paul too).

Bit embarrased saying this Tango; but have you got the Michael Buble version?

Some great brass playing on that........

A musical version of Swiss Tony. Pure schmaltz. Makes me gag.

I said it would be controversial.

Don't be embarrased mate. Yes and yes. It's on the album Call Me Irresponsible (which I bought mainly for It'd better be tonight)

Crap band. Saw them supporting at a Foo Fighters gig I got dragged to at the Etihad . Foo Fighters were better than I expected from their generally insipid catalogue, manics looked like they couldn't be arsed. also saw them In Wolverhampton in 94 when they were the next big thing. Boring.

Is there a better video around that the FF's 'Pretender'??

Worst over-hyped band Ive ever seen was the Pigeon Detectives a few years back at T4 on the beach. The lead singer couldn't even be ar5ed to mime in time and he appeared to be absolutely smashed out of his skull.

I don't really see many music videos, but that is a good one. And not a bad song. They are not a bad band, but that's just damning them with faint praise I suppose. That Learning To Fly video was pathetic on the other hand.
I want to like them, Dave Grohl was very engaging on stage, but they just send me to sleep.

Pixies. Most over-hyped pile o' tuneless shite ever. But hey, it's not cool to point this out.

Saw them at Liverpool Royal Court when they were touring Dolittle (91?) Second worst band I've ever seen. (Sebadoh, before you ask

)
