Most overrated bands ever?

Good Charlotte for sure.

Have you heard Primal Screams latest single? Bloody awful.

I'll say Rolling Stones, this could mostly be due to an unfortunate incident involving my aunt and a kareoke machine, never been able to get into them since. Being less biased, Arctic Monkeys. Good album, but not a classic album.

How is this in ANY way relevant to why they might be considered over-rated?
Even if they WERE all deviant nazi satanist baby killing father rapers, of what relevance would that be to the quality of their product, or a possibly misguided public rating of it?

Personally I WANT my rock musicians as twisted and messed up as possible - if anyone deserves to be damaged by hard drugs and weird sex it's them . . . (if you've spent any time around musician's egos, I'm sure you'll understand)

As for musicians who don't do drugs, especially those who take a public stance against drugs - Frank Zappa not withstanding - I agree totally with Bill Hicks' summation: "They SUCK! Soul-less, Spineless, ball-less suckers of Satan's c**k, every last one of 'em."
