Re: Most overrated band of all time...
If this is more than naming popular artists that a person hates, I'm going to use as my criteria artists that get fawning critical and mass fan adoration despite having a lot of shit on their record. So they can be good, even very good, but still be overrated because critics/fans lose their minds at anything less than slavish adoration. That said, I'll offer up: Dylan, the Stones, Brooooose, Rush, and Radiohead (maybe Bowie is there, too, tho there's a lot more willingness to be critical of his post-70s work).
edit: The Beatles and Elvis should be there, too.

Re: Most overrated band of all time...
I won't say no. But I see them as more of a niche artist (outside of this milieu) and overall not overrated.
Foo Fighters was a great choice. I cant argue with any listed so far.
Oh and the Grateful Dead

Foo Fighters sell out stadiums over here, it's insane. They are so thoroughly ordinary.revbob wrote: ↑27 Apr 2020, 7:42amI won't say no. But I see them as more of a niche artist (outside of this milieu) and overall not overrated.
