Does anyone realize how overrated Nirvana is? I still like them but I think that they are way overrated. Especially their album Nevermind, which is perhaps the most overrated album of all time.

no, it is not the most overrated album of all time...
you must have forgotten about U2 and co

For music banter's age demographic, I'd say that it is one of the more overrated, especially considering that it is not even Nirvana's best work. In general, ^U2 and the word 'overrated' go hand-in-hand. I also have to add that the Unplugged Cd is also quite overrated, considering that if you take away the Meat Puppets and David Bowie covers, you're left with a mediocre acoustic album. Not enough people talk about Bleach and Incesticide, those were the "good" ones, at least in respect to the entire discography.

I can say that Nivana was never overrated, at the time, they were, but the albums are classic now and if you grew up in the nirvana phase.....you kinda just love them through and through....
one of their albums that were underratted was Insecticide however...but that's just my opinion...

For very good reason

It was a collection of awful B sides that sounded like they were made up on the spot

i seem to be a fan of irony tonight, but the way i see it, if anything nirvana are underrated now. a lot of people seem to jump on the "criticize and belittle nirvana" bandwagon. but really, just look at what they did in the big picture. they brought an entire genre to the masses.

So did Motley Crue , , but the genre they bought to the masses ain`t fashionable at the moment.
