Most overrated bands ever?

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

I think it's about time I nominated Big Black here.

They seem to gain a hell of a lot of attention for a band that churn out grating mediocre post punk , And i'd guess 90% of that attention is down to Albini alone.

And considering they are Albini's band their albums are horribly produced.

I don't think they're awful by any means , I just find they very rarely rise above mediocre enough to warrant their praise & attention.

There are/were much better bands out there doing this sort of stuff.
