It has to be Nirvana.Everytime I see a list of all time great Rock artists they're always in the top 10 or so and the truth is they just wern't that good.They had abig one hit wonder but that was it, they weren't anything special.

I would say either the Grateful Dead or the Sex Pistols is my quick knee-jerk reaction to this question.

The Beatles for me. I just don't like them. But as Samwel said, it's all about opinion, so there will be no definite answer.

Nirvana have a few good songs. They are a pretty decent band, but not as good as some people make out.

Rolling Stone are also massively overrated, except (unlike Nirvana), they have NO good songs.

The rubber band. People always talk about how versatile it is. "You need to close that bag of potato chips? Use a rubber band!" "You need to hold your papers together? Use a rubber band!" Then you go and try to actually use a rubber band and it snaps and hurts you. Useless and annoying, if you ask me. Totally overrated.

Hmm, I'll just think of bands that are overrated IMO, not the most overrated.

  1. Hinder
  2. Fall Out Boy
  3. Any band that is liked because of something other that their songs
  4. Maybe Maroon 5(Stop playing "This Love" so many times on the car radio!)

I'm surprised no one has said The Misfits yet (well... not many people here listen to them), or Sunny Day Real Estate, or Hot Cross or Saetia. As a matter of fact, why has nobody said Metallica or Megadeth or Slayer or Pantera or any of those bands?

Because they have lots of albums? Just because people wear the shirt a lot (most of them are posers) doesn't make them overrated :?

Yes, but all the space those albums were taking up could have been used to put good albums in.

Can I add GG allen to your list, and Black flag.

Nice to know someone on this site knows punk bands. What would you consider a good one?

Who likes GG Allin?

And NearTheEnd likes most of those bands, too. And Black Flag is on SST, right?

If you don't know that, I'm not sure you should be listening to punk.
