Elbow

[Top Gun]

Ok, I'm not sure if this is just me but...

Are these guys the most overated band of all time? I've given their last 2 albums every chance to impress me but I just haven't enjoyed them in the slightest. I could usually accept this but they seem to be winning a load of awards and are literally wanked over by pretty much every critic that I've seen review them.

Like I said this could just be me, but I just can't understand why they're so loved.

On subject, I downloaded the song Any Day Now around eight years ago and still have it somewhere but I gave them one chance (downloaded an album) and didn't like it.

Did you listen to Leitmotif Don?

Its bringing itself to me right now ;). I'm sure I've actually heard it before but as I don't remember, I'm giving it another go.

It's a fantastic album, not like this Elbow toss. :ninja:

[Lorenzinho]

Few good tunes. Grounds For Divorce and One Day Like This.

[Dale C.]

They're ok in my books, distinctly average.

[Bish]

Yeah, there a good band but not great. In their genre, I prefer a band like Doves.

[fick]

*Yawns* Elbow? Merely average for me.

[Mr Shhh]

Love Elbow. Doves even better.

[Dragonfly]

I like them, but I don't think they should be regarded as one of the best bands around. I have their first two albums. I love the début, but the second wasn't quite as good, but I do like it. I haven't heard their last album, so maybe my first sentence should not have been made, on that basis.
