I think you have to be a little careful in a thread like this. Just because you don't like a band, doesn't mean they're necessarily overrated. I don't care for the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin the least bit, for example, but not sure they're overrated.
I do agree on Coldplay though I cannot stand that douchebag Chris Martin.
While talking of Led Zepp, the Stones, Hendrix, the Who, Floyd and on and on we are talking about an entirely different cultural phenomenon.
The word ''overrated'' in the context of the icons mentioned is ludicrous.
Success is qualified by entirely different parameters and calculation in this digital era.
For me the raw, unfannied, cutting edge, take no prisoners sound of the pure acid minstrels takes some beating, there have been some great pretenders subsequently.
