Bands are generally not rated on their music alone. Their cultural impact is often regarded as more important. If you rate Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica or The Beatles on music alone, of course they seem overrated. However, by just simply saying they're not worship-worthy and not mentioning any kind of impact, the feeling I get from reading your post is that your opinions are probably relatively uneducated and you don't know your music history ABCs.
