Yeah target my favourite rock band why wont you.:evil:

I say Iron Maiden are one of metal's most overrated bands, everywhere I go in school everyone has a band shirt of them along with Led Zeppelin.

I went to the music store the other day and there were about 10 sections full of Iron Maiden albums :x

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.

Says you. Please tell me were not gonna start another opinion based fight?

It doesn't matter if you like them or not. The problem there were too many of the sections for just one band, while other bands were limited to one or two sections.

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.

I know, I was just pointing out that Black Flag is on SST in the form of a question. I tend to do that.

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.jimmygrace
Nirvana was ridiculously awesome, but they were a little overrated. I'm the first to admit they aren't the greatest band of all time, but they were pretty great. My favorite band. I say System Of A Down. If the lead singer was a little less annoying they would be alright.

[QUOTE="Fireball2500"]

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!)

Greatgone12
Who the hell is Hinder?

Sorry for taking this long to answer, but Hinder is a little bit like a rock band, and I think they're overrated for the same reason why I think Maroon 5 is overrated.

I'm not huge fan of Nirvana, although some of their stuff is pretty good. But overrated or not they had a pretty powerful impact on many bands around today. I think that is what truely made them great.

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. Mumbles527

*slaps* You do not diss Ian Mackaye or his awsome bands. By simple virtue of the fact they those three bands were amongst inventing the Hardcore Punk, Emo and Post-Hardcore genres they could hardly be called overrated from an objective standpoint.

They are a good band but they are still incredibly overrated. As for the most overrated band, it is by far Tool. All their riffs sound the same, the vocals are whiny and annoying and they are just a crappy band whose albums feature a lot of filler and little actual music.

I have to agree with nirvana, I have all their albums also, listened to them a lot for a long time when I was younger but 2 acords and a simple melody shouldn't get you so much fame.

I would say either the Grateful Dead or the Sex Pistols is my quick knee-jerk reaction to this question. Lord_Daemon
No.
My vote goes to: The Rolling Stones as the most overrated band of all time.kelinn
