5 Most overrated bands right now

BlackCorduroy

Beatles ove ?! come on now... thats just plain silly.


And although I like them a lot, Nirvana is probably ove . At least compared to other Seattle "grunge" bands.

All Fall out boy, my chemical romance, hawthorne heights, etc bands.

and i agree with Green day, DMB, Coldplay..

Pretty much every band that has come around in the last few years. The music industry just sucks.

Oh yeah plus the White Stripes suck. Even if Jack White is a talented guitarist, his drummer is sooo untalented it's annoying. And he has no bassist to give the band any depth. Just not my cup of tea.

the mars volta
death cab for cutie

those are the only three i can think of right now, but they are all way overrated in my opinions, as is fiona apple's new album but i don't think she is overrated.

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

Yes DMB's vocal pitch has gotten on my nerves, it's clown shoes.
System of A Down I don't agree with, but the 2nd part of the recent duo (Hypnotize) is a letdown from Mesmerize, they're just too inconsistent for me. There's always a "Boom" or "BYOB" and then the rest of the album is clown rock. Too bad...
I'm sure Audioslave is good live only because they have a near legendary vocalist and a tight backing band. The material is what IS lukewarm piss. THey should be held to a higher standard, or step aside, it's that simple.

Coldplay, again. There was that first single that sounded like a pretty average Jeff Buckley B-side, then that bloody "Yellow" song, then it just kept getting worse.
The Arctic Monkeys shocked everyone by selling all those albums but I don't know that they're necessarily overrated. I personally would never buy their album but I haven't heard anyone say anything other than that it was a surprise. They're not saying that it was expected because they're so great or anything. Or even that they deserve it, just that it's a shock.

The Streets mightn't be overrated but I can't stand them so they're going on the list .
