Most overrated bands ever?

I will probably get flamed, but I have to say Linkin Park is pretty much overrated. -_-

What's up with all the newbies time traveling from a decade ago?

Not to keen on them either. Nothing special.

Beatles. I mean come on, playing 3 years in club residencies 2 out of every 3 nights pretty much forces a band into the limelight, bringing with it forced inspiration and corny crowd pleasing bubble gum skiffle. They were well practiced, and therefore hit the scene as a tight-knit show, but that's it.

It's my opinion, so don't get radical on me.

Everyone frowns when I tell them I don't listen to the Beatles, I don't play any of their songs, I don't know the lyrics etc. It's because the music simply doesn't please me. The Beatles are the most overrated band, ESPECIALLY after 1970 in their individual musical careers...

I can second that, especially when you look at something like RYM.com where within the top ten albums of all time there are three form the Beatles, that's quite literal overrating right there. Often, overrated can be much the same as popular and vice versa.

I am a Beatles fan. Their songs are good. I also feel they are given too much credit. They weren't that good. Their were and are better bands. They became successful mostly do to the gimmick. Screaming and shaking their bums. They had a knack for writing hit songs so the success kept growing. Good for them. They deserve recognition for that, but people act like they changed music forever. They didn't. They helped to change the way people make recordings. Thanks to them artists now take a very long time to produce a record. Thanks guys. They didn't change modern composition at all. They were just a pop group that had lots of hits. Stephan Foster has more. Way more. Where's his star on the walk of fame. Oh yeah not a cute young person. That definitely means he wasn't as talented as John Lennon.

Yep.

Kinda like how Brett Dennen hasn't become more of a sensation. His stuff is so impressive to me.
