Posted June 24, 200619 yr Are the Kooks overrated? I haven't liked any of their singles so far, but I'm lovin "She Moves In Her Own Way". However the way people go on about them at school, you'd seriously think they were God's gift but I tend to disagree tbh. So are they overrated? I think they are, but they are the "in" sort of band and the music that is popular atm so I can see why they are successful.
June 24, 200619 yr You summed it up perfectly. They are nothing different but they're "in" and producing the sort of music people want to hear atm. People do go on about them being brilliant, but they're nothing particularly special IMO (even though Naive has been #1 in my chart for 4 weeks :lol:)
June 24, 200619 yr I don't know. I think they're OK. I liked Naive at first but I've heard so many times and it gets overplayed. Their other stuff is OK but not great. So in a way they are. :unsure:
June 24, 200619 yr Definitely over-rated. Just like The Libertines, just like Arctic Monkeys, just like a hell of a lot of bands...... Not that they're particularly horrendous or anything, just nowt special, average....
June 24, 200619 yr YES YES YES YES YES! The most unoriginal band to break through in a long, long time and they're just riding on the popularity music in their genre is having at the moment. 'Naive' is also an overrated pile of bollocks. Although having said that, I am loving their new single. :yahoo:
June 24, 200619 yr Their last two singles have been good but prhaps a little bit :D Edited June 24, 200619 yr by blade699
June 25, 200619 yr no i dont think they are overrated,,,they dont get as much hype as the overrated arctic monkeys,,i do like the monkeys but i dont think they are as good as the hype makes them out to be
June 25, 200619 yr no i dont think they are overrated,,,they dont get as much hype as the overrated arctic monkeys,,i do like the monkeys but i dont think they are as good as the hype makes them out to be I thought the Arctic Monkeys album was one of a few that's actually worth the hype, it has songs with loads of catchy hooks and melodies that actually sound as though they could be classic a few years down the line.
June 25, 200619 yr alot of people agree with you aly i know,,and as i said i really do like them and the album is a good album,,i guess for me i dont think its fantastic lik emany others do
June 25, 200619 yr Exceedingly over-rated, very ugly and bland live. Can't understand their popularity at all.
June 25, 200619 yr I can see how people think their over-rated and in a way they are, as there are better bands around but The Kooks are still a great band. "She Moves In Her Own Way" is their 5th single and they hardly got any airplay until "Naive" came out. I've heard a new track by them which isn't on the album and it wipes the floor with just about every track on the album.

Kooks are great band with great radio tunes (whether it be radio 1 or radio 2 fits in nicely!!!). however still a few levels down under the Arctic Monkeys and all the folk dating supermodels/married to filmstars, so the NME/press could tire of them quickly when something else comes out if they dont move to the next level
June 25, 200619 yr well here is a picture of someone nice looking instead :wub: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7a/Km1.jpg Even better still... http://www.thevi.be/vibe/pics/Lisa%20Loeb%20color-2.jpg :lol:
June 25, 200619 yr Even better still... http://www.thevi.be/vibe/pics/Lisa%20Loeb%20color-2.jpg :lol: who???? and whats the link?
June 25, 200619 yr Lisa Loeb? Nah, I was happier with Katie...doesn't look awkward and is also relevant...if a little c**p.
June 29, 200619 yr I don't know how that bloke in The Kooks managed to shag Katie Melua. She seems way out of his league. Anyway, I kind of think The Kooks are a bit overrated. They're not bad as such, but I've no idea how they have become so successful. They are nothing special really. But good for them for doing so well.
July 1, 200619 yr Anyway, I kind of think The Kooks are a bit overrated. They're not bad as such, but I've no idea how they have become so successful. They are nothing special really. But good for them for doing so well. perhaps number 2 in the airplay charts and number one on the radio 2 airplay chart is something to do with it.
