From today's Graniaud, a load of famous musicians discussing which "classic" albums they consider to be overrated.

Eddie Argos is a legend, that bloke from the Kooks is an idiot

green should have picked UMBER by MONSTER MAGNET, when oh when will its satanic reign by ended?

i would entirely ban the word overrated -- i don't see the use of it, it just produces crappily resentful whingeing

(dark side of the moon and kind of blue are both records i don't understand the love for -- also everything by u2 EVAH -- but i want someone to challenge my smug hip hate not be bulldozed by it)

So true! Also on the list: "trendy/hipster" as a pejorative refering to music; "hype" (except when used by Dizzee etc).
