The most overrated UK band/singer

My votes:

Vocal - Oasis - if you heard Gallagher on a concert, he is tone deaf and rubbish

Lyrics - Lily Allen - simple and cheap

Coldplay, perhaps. Predictable and about as exciting as the colour grey.

COMPLETELY AGREE.

The Killers too. And White Lies.
Lily Allen (tacky - gives the UK an even cheaper name)

U2.

The Killers are American.
Lily Allen.

She might be good, but I just don't "get" her.

razor *****.
oasis
and the kooks

There are loads of really overrated bands in my opinion, and with some of them I cant for the life of me understand how they ever got anywhere.

Kate Nash, Lilly Allen, Razorlight, The View, The kooks- most those indie nonsense type bands really. Maroon 5- I just never got that nationwide obsession there.

I really could go on for quite a while, but I wont for fear of coming across like some kind of music elitist, which im really not im just very fussy :p:
