Oh Steve, it's as if you're out to spite me. 
Anyways, the correct answer is Wilco.

Early FM and Stones was great, Marley was always great. As much as I hate Springsteen it has to be U2.

Of these I'll say U2. The Boss gets at least some credit for being a good songwriter.

Are there more people (like me too) who think The Beatles are very overrated with the status of best band ever?

Honestly, I think Bruce Springstreen is one of the most overrated artists of all time.
If not him, U2

U2 was far more 'authentic' in the early days. After they became big their stage shows became pretentious imho. Springsteen has always kept it real...whatever you think about his American rock style.

Torn between the Stones and U2. Of course, it depends on how one defines 'overrated.' All the above had their time but I don't think U2 has done much of interest since about 1990 and, for the Stones, 1980. I would call both irrelevant today in terms of ongoing cultural impact. I think Marley had a timeless message in much of his music, and Springsteen still has something he wants to say, thought I'm not particularly into either artist. I'm clueless about Fleetwood Mac.

^Overrated to me is just over appreciated.
Or over celebrated.
