U2

Primarily because of Bono's mug in the "100 Most Influential People of All Time" manifest. I HIGHLY doubt that claim and all who support it. [and also Bush, but let's not get into that]

But in essence, aren't ALL bands overrated? In one eye or another, every band is inevitably going to get slammed with that Overrated symbol that's proven itself more than difficult to avoid. [Oh, genres]

But HEY, we all have opinions. It's what makes this world work like it does. [crappily] =]

I completely agree, I hate all those pop-punk bands today singing all this happy puff **** making listeners completely oblivious to todays real problems and the world we live in.
by the way, love your sig.

Wow you being completley ignorant didn't come as a suprise at all when I read your username.

/sarcasm

And funnily enough Kurt Cobain was a huge fan of them...

Wow, way to slam the kid with his opinion, guys. :/

[AND to remain on-topic] Look up about 4 to 5 posts.
...on the next page.

Yes, but if a lot of people think a band is overrated, then it probably isn't. So a band can be more or less overrated then another.

I suppose you're correct on that account.

Foo Fighters? Overrated?

Sure, The Pretender is a waaaaaaay overrated song by them, but come on, The Foo's are not overrated.

^ Yes they are. They don't live up to the acclaim they receive in any way. Dave Grohl is particularly overrated... people saying he's a music mastermind and stuff. No.

You must give him some credit though. I mean who expected the drummer of the most simplistic band ever to write as much as he did. Sure its not groundbreaking and filled with new ideas, but certainly serves its purpose.
