Bands who had loads of success but were in actual fact shit.

[Dave the OAP]

U2 - Don't get me started on them, I can never understand why they have so much success especially with that "oh look at me I'm going to save the World and I'm part of the biggest band ever" Bonno fella as the lead singer

i actually prefer their older stuff before this trend happened where to be seen as a serious musician, you had to have done a duet with either pavarotti or some other opera star.

Joshua Tree was a decent album, as was Rattle and Hum IMHO

 

[jcdenton08]

Green Day.
The Offspring.
The Spice Girls
