   Here’s my top 10.

   10.The Rolling Stones-Spectacular band, though they have a cult following not deserved.
   9.KISS-Their music sucks! How are they even considered good enough to be overrated?
   8.Radiohead-I’m just not a big fan. There’s probably something i’m missing about them, but no band is as good as people think they are.
   7.U2-Ditto.
   6.DMB-See KISS.
   5.Led Zeppelin-Even though they are my favourite band, they’re still way, way overrated.
   4.Bob Dylan-Amazing songwriter, but not THAT great.
   3.The Doors-Maybe the best example of a good band with a some good songs that made everyone think they’re the best thing since peanut butter.
   2.Pink Floyd-I enjoy most of their songs… for 2 minutes.
   Before we get to 1, some honorable mentions.
   The Clash-see The Rolling Stones.
   Nirvana-Ditto.
   Weezer-Meh.
   The Who-See Nirvana.
   Oasis-Good band but they are, like, insanely popular. Didn’t make the list because enough people hate them to compensate for it.
   Pearl Jam-See Weezer.
   Guns ‘N’ Roses-See Oasis.
   Aerosmith-Ditto.
   AC/DC-ditto.
   Def Leppard-See Pearl Jam
   Metallica-see AC/DC.
   And the most overrated band is…
   1.The Beatles!-Amazing, amazing band. No band could ever be half as good as people think they are.

   1.Floyd-They don’t even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Stones and The Who. The 4 combined haven’t put out half the crap Floyd has.
   2.U2-Explain to me how Bono is a good singer.
   3.Prince-He sounds dated as heck.
   4.Nirvana-Jesus would have forgotten them if Cobain didn’t commit suicide.
   5.KISS-One of the worst bands ever.
   6.Sex Pistols-Blech.
   7.Eminem-Enough said.
   8.Oasis and Coldplay-RRRRIIIIIPPPPPPOOOOOFFFF.
   9.Grateful Dead-Never been on acid, so I can’t say I was ever a big fan.
   10.Elton John and Billy Joel-since the early 80′s.

   You put The Pixies and the Cure on the overrated list?! At the same time having Oasis as the best band of the 90′s on another list? Huh? On the overrated list where is Areosmith, Coldplay, U2, Van Hagar, Greenday, any R+B singer after 1976, Midnight Oil, The Cult, Poison, Godsmack, The Grateful Dead? The Pixies and the Cure were originals that paved the way for bands like Radiohead ect ect. And half of these bands nobody has ever heard of them, how can you be overrated if you’re unknown?

    Most people get pissy when I say this. But the most over rated band in history is The Beatles. No band has ever been, nor ever will be as over rated as they were, and still are to this day. And as decades pass it just gets worse.

    Thats nice, I see all of these bands say those things. But I think on the whole they are highly overrated, and easily the most over rated band in history.

    Zeppelin was a hell of a lot better than them, and sites speaking from a non partisan standpoint will acknowledge this.

    What a joke. I want to know what you listen to. I’m sure it’s pretty tasteless.

    I think I agreed with this whole article, good job and well worded. I never understood the Nirvana craze, but I was probably too young at the time…

    I agree with The Pixies, Blondie and Franz Ferdinand. I tried listening to The Pixies. I really did. All I heard was loud noise. Of these 3, Blondie is actually decent. They have some listenable songs and I believe they had talent (at least they could play their instruments). I think they’re overratted because people give them way too much credit for being this great, influential band. They had an image that was hip and Debra Harry was hot. Thats it. Zeromage said it perfect: “style over substance”. Their music is more associated with a scene than it is with anything else. When I think of Blondie, the first thing I think of is coke and Studio 54. Franz Fredinand = hipster band. I can’t agree with The Clash because “Train in Vain” is one of my favorite songs.
