I really like that album actually.

It's just that I hear a lot of people say "Venetian Snares is fucking genious", and I'm thinking "well no, most of it is just a bunch of beats cut up and it doesn't really do anything".

Hahaha... I was sure about being "flamed"... though, back in the 80's, I never understood the buzz & the noise around The Smiths & Morrissey... just as I don't get this "burialmania" nowadays...

I think some of the bands on the list were lauded early on, but the honeymoon period definitely ended. Take Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Sigur Ros, for example...they each had that huge album that defines their career (e.g. "Experience", "Dig Your Own Hole", "Homework"/"Discovery", "Aegetis Byrjun"), followed by some so-so albums that the critics don't take too kindly to.

Rolling Stones, i definitley agree with...In a career as long as theirs, of course you have a lot of hit singles and fan faves from their endless touring. But i have to say, looking back on a lot of their albums, there's a bunch of bluesy crap filler. just one man's opinion ,though!

Anyone who thinks the Rolling Stones are overrated is plain wrong. That's one of the best bands in the history of music.

I have seen new CD's by all of these artists for £5 or less in the past week, I considered buying them and I thought about why I don't own them already... Because they are shit.

Other contenders in Spooky Shoes world...

Coldplay.
Oasis.
Blur.
Madonna.
The Killers.

I'm getting wound up just thinking about it...

In a proper context they WERE one of the best bands in music history but have failed to relaese anything of significance for a very long time, I'm glad The Beatles, Beach Boys and Queen are defunct.

That's right the right word, history. From the perspective of a person who has not lived in that time, he can objectively listen to bands like the Rolling Stones and Beatles. He enjoys them very much, but thinks they are overrated.
