For me the most overrated are AC/DC! In my country (Bulgaria) they are religion! I really don't know why. I just can't stand them
AC/DC is a great band. You are definitely in the minority; maybe not on a Pearl Jam message board where most folks don't like traditional, hard rock music. I'm a child of the '80s, so music like AC/DC is what made me a rock 'n roll fan.

I know some friends music who have their own bands who believe there's no difference between
Pearl Jam and Creed.
Peace
Then they clearly haven't listened to either band.
...That is when it comes to the lead singers vocal tones and that also is in your opinion they haven't listened to the bands.

Radiohead - pure drivel to me. feel they are a band people say they like to show how much they 'get' music or something
Maybe their later stuff (that's a debate for another day), but The Bends is one of the best straight up rock records I can think of and far from drivel, it's not difficult to 'get' it's pure melodic, catchy rock music played by good musicians. There's noting to get in songs like The Bends, Just or My Iron Lung.

You talk some real sense! Am listening to this album right now and it's awesome. How people can label a band like Radiohead as being overrated is beyond me. They're not commercial in any way and rarely played on radio so how could they be overrated?

I know I know....I've tried all 3 so many times and I just can't get into them.
