Overrated Bands
gospel:
The list could go on and on, but as of late Vampire Weekend strikes me as terribly average/uninteresting. White Stripes haven't really been worth their spit either (for awhile). I suppose Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah fall in the, ultimately, "eh" category too. Arctic Monkey's.
Snow Patrol, Death Cabie for Cutie
Uh, I never got LCD Soundsystem. I can appreciate what they do, but eh.
Really, really don't get the appeal behind Bloc Party. Maybe a mp3 or two is worth having, but an entire album of that?
Pavement did a lot for the scene, but I dunno... the hype is pretty disproportionate.
And yeah, Nirvana is definitely overrated.
British Sea Power. I liked the CD and all, but the more I listen to it... it's missing a lot from the fervor of other bands. Simply, it's been done better.
Sonic Youth (excluding "Sonic Nurse" & "Daydream Nation"). Oh, I'm screwed.
And, this pains me, but Arcade Fire--but, only in the instance of Neon Bible. Meh, it was... eh.

Jackie Blue:
You are perhaps aware that British Sea Power have more than one album.
Pavement as a band isn't really overrated, but Slanted and Enchanted is. It is scientifically impossible to overrate Crooked Rain Crooked Rain or Wowee Zowee.
Christophe:
About two weeks ago, I hadn't listened to Pavement in a metric while. I guess I just thought that they were merely ok after being a big fan of them.
Then, I bought Wowee Zowee on tape because my computer was dead and so was my mp3 player. After listening to it a million times and getting my computer back from Gateway (and its working hard drive), I took another listen to CRCR and Brighten the Corners, and reminded me of why I got into the band in the first place- they wrote amazing songs.
Slanted and Enchanted, I still can't really get into, though. Try as I might, "Summer Babe" is still one of the laziest, sloppiest excuses for a song ever.

"Summer Babe" is one of my favorite Pavement songs. :|

I guess I could see how Sonic Youth could easily by overrated, but they are truly fantastic musicians.

I thought "Icky Thump" was exactly what the doctor had ordered. Great record.
