yeah, i cant believe i forgot them. they havent released a decent song since ok computer. key word being SONG. sure they've released some pleasant sounding ambient noise... but a tune, or melody, or anything would be nice.

also, i dig coldplay but i cant see how people would say they're over-rated. they get billed as rock's saviors or something. but they're really more like a good u2 tribute band

-Coldplay does have potential to be a good band. They're talented musicians, but the vocals in my eyes are a bit too whiny.

-Fall Out Boy is just another pop punk band that needs to fade away quicker than they appeared.

-The Mars Volta are also talented musicians but the vocals are horrendous. The vocalist sounds like he's crying during every song on Frances The Mute.

-Jack Johnson is an ok musician, his music just tends to sound the same. Personally I think Ben Harper deserves a lot more radio play and credit than Johnson does. Harper's lyrics and songs are much more complicated and beautiful.

for pure argument sake, i would like to know EXACTLY why you think the beatles are overrated. your argument cannot include "i don't like them" as one of your reasons.

half the bands listed so far (if not more) i either don't like or have never heard a song by them, but i wouldn't go and say they are overrated.

all overrated means to me is that someone (your friend, a person on a message board, a magazine, etc) LOVES them and then when you heard them you think they suck.

i personally think overrated is a meaningless word.

I agree one hundred percent.

The Beatles are a great band and have influenced music as much or more than anyone. yet they have become the default answer for the question..."who is the greatest band of all time". I strongly suspect the vast majority of people who answer that question with the Beatles as doing so simply because that is the accepted answer. I don't think they are worthy of the worship they receive because I don't believe it to be authentic in most cases.

Go see them LIVE they kick ass.

Both off them.

ive seen mars volta 2x and radiohead 1x. saw mars 3 years ago open for chili peppers thought they were alright, saw them last summer open for system of a down and thought they were horrible. somebody on here said something about the vocals and i gotta agree. . . saw radiohead at field day festival 3 years ago, i dont know thought they were kinda dull. didnt do anything for me

I can not agree with the White Stripes...I was told about them a couple of years ago, I heard 1 song and I was hooked. But that is just me.

Jack Johnson, well since I have 2 little boys who loved Curious George, they also liked the music that went along with it. The album is pretty good. I find myself singing along all the time. I like Jack Johnson even if he is main stream.

My list is as follows

Snow Patrol-Kinda lame for the hype.

Velvet Revolver-Scott needs to do full time with STP

AudioSlave-I was excited to hear about the 2 parties hooking up but in reality they should stay as Rage against the Machine and Soundgarden.

Death Cab for Cutie-I ahd heard great things about them, but I thought they sucked when they opened for the VFC tour

Green Day- I think Dookie is the best 35 minute album out there to this day. I loved them and I have had my fun with them. The song September something just plain sucks!

Death Cab isn't overrated.

Yes, yes they are. Heard "Plans" twice to give the album a fair chance, nearly put me to sleep both times. It should come with a "Do not operate heavey machinery while listening to this album" disclaimer.

Fetus Jr.

Dave Mathews overrated? Wow......

System of a Down? Are you kidding me?

And Audioslave, if you've seen them live, you won't think they're overrated, but that's just my opinion.

Green Day, Modest Mouse, Jack Johnson, Fall out Boy, alot of the aforementioned....one I haven't seen, U2

Klumpie

DMB
Kaiser Chiefs
Franz Ferdinand
Lenny Kravitz
Matchbox 20
Papa Roach
Robbie Williams (isn't maybe a real band)
Simple Plan
