@MajorRage
Hand up for the incorrect comment about 'writing' her own music. She does 'co-write' most of her songs alongside various guns for hire.That's very big of you to lift your view of Adele from zero-credit, to the smallest bit of credit it's possible to give. BTW just to refresh your memory, here is you agreeing with me that he's an over rated musician.

Bowie live at Glastonbury tonight.
Has there ever been a more over rated musician?
Musician yes. Artist no.
That Glastonbury set of his is pretty good.
Bowie was always about the whole package rather than just the music.
@Crucial said in What are you listening to, right now................:
OK.
Maybe a list of artists that claim Bowie as inspirational to their career vs the same for Adele?If there is any over rating going on here it is you with Adele.
As I said, feel free to like her music, but it just seems strange when someone raves about a performer like her then disses a popular music legend as over-rated.
Thank you for your approval to like her music - that means a lot to me.

I agree that he is a great artist ( losing him and especially Prince in quick succession was devastating for music ) but I always find "songwriting" on it's own a tough yardstick cos based on that I'd love Bob Dylan too. I don't, in fact I can't stand him.
Yes, very much so. Dylan is another I throw in the same bucket.

Dylan's overrated because I don't like him
(That's what we all mean if we're honest)

I hate his voice, his songs and the shitty cover versions that otherwise cool artists seem to do.

So it's decided.
Dylan, U2 and the Beatles all massively overrated

Ginger Baker hated the Stones. That’s good enough for me.
I don’t quite feel that way but aside from a few decent songs here and there they’re nothing to write home about compared to other groups

And The Stones, Led Zep, and we can all admit that Radiohead are nauseatingly shit.

@MN5 didn’t Baker hate everyone?
Did he ever play with Blackmore? Could have been interesting dynamics!
He was actually friendly with Charlie Watts but is on record saying the rest of the band aren't great musicians.
Perhaps not the best example, Baker came across as an extremely bitter old arsehole with barely a nice word to say about anyone.

Except himself.
Well, he was pretty damn brilliant. Although in saying that who the fuck wants to listen to a 20 minute drum solo ?

Oh Ffffffff the lot of you....!
U2 are superb, their music is timeless and you're all just trying to look cool because they aren't "edgy" (excuse the pun) enough or because the band members mainly Bono can be a bit "save the world". The music and lyrics are simply wonderful. I put them up there in the same category of greatness as Bruce Springsteen and Prince.Now ill tell you someone who's Music/voice was massively over rated in my very humble opinion.... Elvis. He had showmanship. Alright to Good looking. Voice meh. He just came on the scene at the right time and got girls excited.
However, at the end of the day, when all is said and done... I agree with someone aboves comment that it really is subjective. But I'm right and you are all wrong.

@R-L oh MN5 is going to get you for that

@mariner4life which part?
