    a couple not mentioned.

    The Rolling Stones (not the greatest of all time like some think - very good but still overrated in my opinion)
    Green Day

    and a few already mentioned
    AC/DC - same song over and over - don't get it.
    Nirvana

    yep u2 !! i am still a big fan of them but often wonder why they carry off with best band in the world awards !!
    they have made probably 3 classic records ( un/fire , joshua & achtung ) the rest are no better than many other bands . imo !! and also there live performances of late are very going through the motions . :cry:

    Rush. gets alot of credit for their music but their best song was Working Man which was prior to Neil Peart
    The Grateful Dead was more about the drugs than about the music
    Marylin Manson was more about the shock than about the music

    so i guess jamming for 10-15 minutes isn't music to you :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol::lol::lol:

    you can listen to the dead and not be on drugs. i know that might be shocking to you.

    nothing is great bout them at all. they are a average "punk" band with a good songwriter and a amazing drummer.

    hootie and the blowfish haven't made a album in 5 years. this isn't bands you hate, it's bands that are overrated. alota people missed the boat on this thread.


    the sex pistols are so overrated to me. you can't be punk when your playing large arena's and amphitheater. that's just selling out.

    no, i understood it. what i never understood is how overrated they were. there are a few bands that have been mentioned that haven't made a record in quite some time, so i'm not seeing your point exactly.

    love them or hate them, Hootie was overrated. that's my take.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    tell me why you think theyre shit. cause just capitalising it and adding an exclamation mark doesnt make it so.

    Muse - hands down the most overrated pile of shite around. I really don't get why they are so popular.

    I fail to understand how any band that's sold 200,000,000 albums is overrated. You may or may not like the music, but there's at least a little something to having such a broad appeal, especially while keeping artistic integrity.

    What exactly makes the Beatles Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin overrated? That's just a ridiculous statement.
