Most overrated band?

^^ actually the word "overrated" is a contradiction in terms, since the ratings speak for themselves. Unless there is a flaw in the calculation of the average rating the albums are always neither "underrated" nor "overrated". So what people usually mean by it is that in their not at all humble opinion many of the people which rated the album were wrong. I think it's ok ... we can't all agree on everything. But the more ratings an album has and the longer it has been in the database, the more likely it is that those who claim that it's over/underrated are wrong ... they might simply have unusual tastes/opinions or different criteria for rating music.

"overrated" is an offensive and elitist term implying that your opinion (and thus pinning everything down to personal taste) is superior to the many who think highly of a particular subject.  So here we have a thread aiming to prove 'my taste is superior to yours' ....'nuh uh mine is better'.

yeah i'd go for Metallica but there fans would never want to except that and in 5 years to come i'll say artic monkeys

Gentle Giant

I think the Red Hot Chili Peppers is the biggest piece of garbage ever created. I slowly watched as the schools big shot raved about them and one by one everyone slowly converted. It seemed like people just liked them to fit in.

Oh and try this on a Chili Pepper fan, happens everytime.

'Hey'
'Hey'
'The Red Hot Chili Peppers suck'
'No!! Flea is like the best bassist'

..I don't even consider him decent..

Rush and Jethro Tull is a bit overrated in this site.

I would have to say Genesis for me! And metallica IS kinda overrated, but those four first albums of them are pure genius and MUST be worshipped as so.

yea i'm new lol just testin' to see the time it took to get some replies....kinda figured this was heavily discussed. 

here we go again

Red hot chili peppers and probably Metallica are my two top choices.
