Is Pink Floyd overrated?

I consider Floyd worthy of their praise and success. Dark Side-Wish You Were Here-Animals is probably one of the most consistent album sets ever, and they also benefit from having undoubtedly one of the best lyricists in the business. Again, not my favourite, as I tend to prefer something a little more intense, and they are merely good/The Wall outside that 'trilogy' from the album's I've got so far.

The band are not especially challenging or technical, I admit, but they do what they do pretty flawlessly. They certainly are progressive, as far as I can see, regardless of the musicianship (I simply don't consider a key criterion, merely a common factor to several major bands, and, besides, as I understand it, Gilmour is pretty capable), though I agree they are less representative of the genre than, say, Genesis, Yes or Crimson. I really do need the early psychedelic stuff to make an influence judgment, so I won't do that yet.

For the ongoing argument, I prefer them to Rush, whose influence just doesn't pervade into the sort of territory I'd bother exploring, and whom I don't consider very progressive, either. Admittedly, I do enjoy most Rush albums, but Caress Of Steel is the only one I really, really love.

Yes ! And this is from as person that loves AC/DC for their early albums, which are heavily outweighted by the number of albums that constitute the rest of their work 

I love them, and I think they deserve that millions of people, like me, love them, and, as so I think they're not overrated.
