Most overrated band ever?

I like The Beatles. However if someone made a case for “Sgt Pepper’s…” being one of, if not the most overrated album ever, I’d probably find myself agreeing with a fair few of the points. For me, the inclusion of “A day in the life” is the main saving grace.

Came here to say Foo Fighters again. Just totally average for me

Kind of agree, their early stuff is great but I went off them around the time The Pretender came out. I liked that song but don’t remember anything else after it and it’s all been identikit bland rock since. Still love them though.

And whilst we're at it, The Rolling Stones. Four brilliant albums and some early singles... The rest? mostly bollocks

(Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed & Sticky Fingers & Exile on Main St) That leaves 26 albums of mostly shite

I hate them. They're not "shit" at all, as musicians - that's not why I hate them. It's the sound they make that I hate. It's unlistenable for me. A fair chunk of that is down to the production, I guess, some down to Mercury's voice, some to the keys and chords they use. Muse have the same effect on me, as do a handful of other bands.

Oh, and they wrote loads of shit songs :).

Muse are a good shout. The sonic version of magnolia paint.

Everything up to and including One By One is positively underrated, and I love Dave Grohl like a dear family member, but I’ve stopped listening to their new stuff a long time ago.

I have very similar feelings about REM.

Yep, how they still pack out stadiums is beyond me but they do

Still have a big fan following.

Their albums 'Hot Fuss' and 'Sam's Town were not bad but everything else after has been not that good. I would say one decent song on each album since.
