You can only pick ONE band that you think is the most overrated ever. Mine is The Clash. I've tried, but they just don't do it for me. London Calling, White Man.., Rock the Casbah etc....it's all garbage to me.

    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    I don't understand the hype behind them either, they've always been so mediocre to me... Motley Crue were so much better at being shit IMO.

    The Beatles...hands down.

    I'm beyond tired of people acting like they pretty much invented the electric guitar, the microphone, every guitar chord, the snare drum, the hi-hat, etc...there were plenty of people playing 'rock & roll' before they came along. They were a 'pop' band. I'd rather listen to 2 cats fight in an alley

    :eek: Guns n Roses were kings among men up until the Spaghetti Incident. Sure, everyone except Duff and Izzy were/are assholes, and there was a fair amount of filler on the Use Your Illusion albums - but they made some stone-cold classic hard rock. Try not singing along to Welcome To The Jungle or You Could Be Mine. :D
