    Hey!!!!!!! :x No, you're absolutely right I think. I do like Nirvana but to label them alongside some of the greats of the past 40 years is wrong. They had a great sound and good songs but from a technical standpoint they were sloppy as hell. The argument about Nirvana deserves it's own space though because it's never going to be just about the music where they are concerned. They're certainly not the legends we're led to believe they are though.

    Although I don't agree with u that Nirvana wasn't talented-(IMO they wrote some great music, albeit sometimes simple and catchy)...I definitely feel they are overrated --they are often lumped in with some of the greatest bands of all time and thats just wrong-- not to sound too harsh, but dying really boosts ur legacy

    With you there! All my friends wanted to drag me to an AC/DC gig some time ago, but I politely passed.
    Have fun, walk hard and stay alive.

    I would say Nickelback, but I am not sure who rates them high, except for on a sales perspective. If we're going by album sales, then, yeah, Nickelass.

    Besides that, I'm agreein' with u2 to an extent. Half of War, most of Joshua Tree, all of Achtung Baby, then really scattershot since.

    And Kiss. Definitely Kiss.

    How can bands such as Nickelback and Creed possibly be considered "overrated" when neither have any credibility or critical acclaim?? The very definition of overrate is "to rate or appraise too highly", and both those bands are reviled nearly unanimously by critics....

    I'm not sure if Nickelback is overrated or genius for feeding on the idiocy of listeners who will buy their drivel

    Now you're not even thinking about the question, you're just sputtering off bands you don't like.

    Creed? c'mon, they're struggling to give away their concert tickets for free.

    This is a difficult topic because it's just basically going to be a list of bands everyone hates along the same lines as every other thread on here lately. Everyone's tastes are different and one person's favorite band could be the next person's most overrated.
