Overrated bands

Ok, so I'm starting a poll of overrated bands and musicians. Remember, this is for overrated musicians, not bad musicians. I don't even think the ones on my list are bad, and I like some of them, but all the attention and accolades just ain't deserved. I like to see what you all pick.

1. Beatles
2. Grateful Dead
3. U2
4. Sting
5. Eric Clapton
6. Rolling Stones
7. REM
8. Nirvana
9. Fleetwood Mac
10. Eagles

Brian Lawrence

-Rage Agianst the Machine
-The Doors
-Genesis
-The Eagles
-Sonic Youth (Daydream Nation is one of the greatest albums ever made, but outside of "GOO" most of their other stuff sucks.

Brad_W

Well any rap would... oh wait you said bands! This is where people have to learn an instrument and write their own music!? Okay um...

-Nirvana
-Pearl Jam
-Creed
-Bush
-and any other band with that lame Eddie "I'm sensitive and my Hoo Ha hurts" Vedder voice.

JonZ

Brad, loved the stab at rap

I guess before anyone gets bent out of shape I should add that is all IMHO )

U2(A FEW good songs but.....)
Limp Bizkit(Look up "untalented hack" in the dictionary youll see a picture of these trolls)
Kid Rock
The Eagles(God, DO I HATE this band!)
Boston(See The Eagles)
Metallica(Went from the greatest band in the world to very ordinary and un-special)
Guns N Roses
Sound Garden
Pearl Jam
Blink 182(Could someone please explain this one to me)
KoRn(Is is just me or do all these guys songs sound the same-heavy part,stupid noises on the 7 string,chrous,stupid noises on the 7 string etc.If youve heard one KoRn song, youve heard them all)
Aerosmith(Lame,lame,lame commercial shitty songs,a couple of their 70's tunes are just ok)
Marilyn Manson(Would someone please get rid of this jerk)
Godsmack(Any band that takes their name from another bands songs isnt very creative from the start)
SlipKnot
Linkin Park, Static X,Spineshank,Mudvayn and all these other NuMetal bands make me want to Does anyone bother to learn their instrument anymore?

And if I see one more guy on MTV playing a (overpriced,not handmade anymore)Paul Reed Smith ,Im gonna run amok!

Basically I think 99.9% of newer music is the pits.

Thanks, I need this

Here is a list of all time overrated bands:

NSYNK
BACKSTREET BOYS
BRITNEY SPEARS
O STREET
CRISTINA AGULIARA
DESTINYS CHILD
...
help me think of more guys/gals, all those bands you listed above, at least they can play instruments and do not have to lip sync on stage.

Neil Joseph

I think the Rolling Stones are over rated because just a few short years ago is when they finally learned to play more than 3 chords.

I would have to say Dream Theater is overrated, also Rush.

JonZ,
That is not where Godsmack's name comes from. I met Sully Erna(Lead Singer) and the band in their earlier days and the name stems from the sudden appearance of a pimple on one of the groups face and Sully said "God just smacked you" and thats how they ended up with that name. Not the greatest way to name a band I know, but they didn't get it from another bands songs.
Back on the topic:
Michael Jackson Sucks A*s
All those "Teeny Bopper" bands suck
Michael Bolton
All RAP
this all IMHO of course

Kendal Kirk

Even though I love Everclear songs and studio albums, I am sadly disappointed in their live performance capabilities. I guess playing live is the true test of a bands abilities.

John Kilduff

I agree with Nirvana, and I add:

-Alien Ant Farm
-Puff Daddy and his extended group of artists (Puff Daddy is the ultimate in suckiness)
-Led Zeppelin (their off-stage travails were better than their on-stage music)
-Brian Setzer and any of his bands (I gave my "Brian Setzer Orchestra" CD to my mom)
-Frank Sinatra (Once again, off-stage is better than on)

Sincerely,

John "You asked for it!" Kilduff
