Overrated Bands
BlakeJustBlake:
I agree wholeheartedly with the Beatles being overrated. I mean they've got their good songs, but like you said, not the greatest thing ever. Also, the same sentiments with Pink Floyd.
Personally, I think Regina Spektor is overrated. I don't know if a lot of you know people who like her a lot, but a lot of people in my dorm are big fans, but me, not so much.

Jeff Mangum and JD Salinger are the same guy!

IMO, Foo Fighters only got really good in the last year. I think they've been a great singles band with some good albums tracks until the most recent record, which is very classic-sounding and is the album they've always been threatening to make.

I quite like the Foo Fighters, and you pretty much hit it right on the head. Up until their last album, they were a good band, with a bunch of good songs over their career but nothing that really hit. With "Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace" (their last album) they really made something that was full and rounded, and a pleasure to listen to the whole way through. Plus, the group has a good vibe, with Dave Grohls reputation for being one of the nicest guys in music and all. Besides, they put on an amazing live show. 2.5 hours of non stop playing, sometimes with an eight piece band. And they sound good live, and that goes far in my book.
Also, Led Zeppelin = not overrated. If you take everything else out of the equation, the four of them were still awesome musicians.
Now that we got that out of the way, lol, overrated bands:
U2, the Doors, Coldplay, Metallica, Nirvana, Grateful Dead, the Police, the Who, Freebird, Stairway to Heaven
I'm probably gonna get yelled at for that list. I like some of the bands on there; they are good. But they're not OMGZZ AMAZINGZ

Live At Leeds absolves any wrongdoings or creative missteps that The Who have ever indulged in. Their cover of "Young Man Blues"? Absolutely out-Zeppelins Zeppelin. (Those may be construed as fightin' words, to which I say "whatev".)
I guess I'm not a Zeppelin man.
