Overrated Bands
De_El:
And they didn't even break up till 2003; that's two years of your life spent blinking in confusion and not really being sure how to react.

I find that Nirvana are unique band in that they are simultaneously underrated and overrated. I shall elaborate later when I'm not abusing company time.

People said the same thing about Andy Warhol. All's I know from readings and such is that Andy was an insecure dick who would ruin people like he was ordering out for lunch. Not that says anything about Nirvana.
Overrated?
Nine Inch Nails: Anything post-Downward Spiral has had a metric ton of filler on it (I'm looking atchoo with glaring eyes, The Fragile). And Trent's lyrics are the worst part of his own recordings.
Ministry: Seriously. The government sucks rawr-rawr-unintelligible-rawr-rawr. I get it, okay. Can youy play Everyday is Hallowe'en again?
Dresden Dolls: I just don't get the appeal.
Joy Division: Let the bombs go off! I really do like them a lot, I do. But that isn't what this thread is about. Mystique vs. output often elevates things past their necessary worth(to be completely arbitrary).
Jackie Blue:
Joy Division is one of my favourite bands but I agree that in general they're overrated, in that their albums were sometimes brilliant but also could have used a lot of work. Is "Transmission" the best song of all time? Quite possibly. But a lot of their songs are nowhere near as good, and some of their best material (like "No Love Lost") was ever fleshed out and actually finished.
Catacombs:

Live At Leeds absolves any wrongdoings or creative missteps that The Who have ever indulged in.

I've heard a ton of good things about this album, but I've never been able to check it out.

Yes, but they were very aware of this fact, which is why I'm not a fan. 'Dazed And Confused' shouldn't last 20 goddamn minutes, please!

I agree with you on that. The excessive guitar masturbation often goes too far.

Watched a video on YouTube wherein they covered a Neutral Milk Hotel song. I nearly cried, it was so bad.
