Most overrated band of all time

[Bigjay73]

Nirvana

 

[Treeshark]

Kiss tied with Bruce Springsteen.

 

[Sheltowee]

Nirvana

We're fighting.

The answer is The Eagles.

 

[Nick87]

99% of anything on country radio after 2005-ish . Take your pick.

 

[Irrelevant]

Pearl Jam

 

[Big Sky Guy]

Surprised to see so many answers. Thought for sure Coldplay would be the general consensus.

Ahh, yes, both of those seemed to get a lot of "hate" while simultaneously had a lot of fans.

The Eagles, Springstein, and Pearl Jam are no where near the top IMO. Not sure about Nirvana.

Wow, U2 were innovators. I almost put With Or Without You for the best song of all time.

 

[Southern Elk]

Rush

U2 sucks.

Beatles are garbage.

Commonly called “overrated” (with reasons)​

The Beatles

• Why people say it: Their music can sound simple or dated to modern listeners.
• Counterpoint: They basically invented modern pop/rock songwriting and studio experimentation.

Queen

• Why people say it: A few massive hits dominate everything, while deeper cuts get ignored.
• Counterpoint: Freddie Mercury’s voice and stage presence were genuinely special.

Nirvana

• Why people say it: They became symbols of grunge despite many peers being just as innovative.
• Counterpoint: They changed mainstream rock almost overnight.

U2

• Why people say it: Seen as self-important or repetitive, especially later albums.
• Counterpoint: Their early work had huge emotional and political impact.

The Rolling Stones

• Why people say it: Some feel they’re praised more for longevity than musical evolution.
• Counterpoint: Their influence on rock attitude and performance is undeniable.

Coldplay

• Why people say it: Accused of playing it safe and repeating the same sound.
• Counterpoint: They’re very good at making accessible, emotional music.
