/The Beatles

[Dizzy]

Most overrated: Nirvana and Metallica

[axls_locomotive]

overrated: def leppard and nirvana

underrated: ACDC and Led Zeppelin

[D]

over rated definitely nirvana and van halen, i think van halen are wayyyyyyyyyyy overrated

[Izzy]

Over rated AC/DC seem very average to me, u can add The Rolling Stones to that too...and hell Black Sabbath too.


Under rated: Def Leppard, seeing them Sunday woooo!

[Chris Misfit]

How can AC/DC and Zepplin be under-rated? They're both considered two of the best rock bands ever!?!

Please explain?

[Lionel Hutz]

Out of those?? Pearl Jam and Def Leppard then.

[Eazy E]

underrated: ACDC and Led Zeppelin

No. Never will either of those bands be considered underrated.

Izzy man, ACDC average?!?!? I saw them play in front of 450,000 people and blow the Rolling Stones away.


Ack, I see you have the Rolling Stones there too,   .... Both bands can fuckin pump out kick ass tunes.  I didn't know it was possible to not like Ac/Dc, unless the "similarity" in their songs bothers you.

Blah, I like all of the bands you listed, if I HAD to pick, I guess I'd say Metallica.  

[Lineker10]

I dont think any of those bands are overrated. I might not like some of them but i cant argue with any of there influences on music history.

[Gunner80]

Nirvana- God I hated that group I'm so glad it ended!

[Is he struggling?]

It has simply gotta be Nirvana - no contest.

How can AC/DC and Zepplin be under-rated? They're both considered two of the best rock bands ever!?!

Please explain?

I'm baffled too. Maybe some people feel that the full range of their talents were never appreciated by the general public (i.e. they were thought of as nothing more than purveyors of 3-cord, knuckle dragging, headbanging fodder, when (in the case of Zep anyway) there was mauch more to their repertoire).

[LeftToDecay]

Metallica.
1.5 OK 10+ years old albums and for some twisted reason, people still remember those fucking idiots.

i dont believe their talents have been fully appreciated by the average person...I think that AC and Zep are among the greatest rock bands since the dawn of time...sure they are appreciated to the highest degree with people who love rock music but not generally...you can either be narrow minded and think that the world revolves around rock music (which it doesnt) or think that rock music is generally under appreciated (which it is)...and if you ask the average person on the street, it is not likely they will answer ACDC or Zeppelin if they are asked who is the greatest rock band?, and even less so if asked who is the greatest band?.  Most unbiased polls on the general public wouldnt put zeppelin in the top 10 never mind the top 3 which is where i believe they should be. Thats why i believe they are underrated.

[Mattman]

Well, I think that Ozzy Osbourne might be a little overrated (he's got a lot of tunes that are kind of filler, and his stage presence as a member of Black Sabbath was statue-esque at best).  But Aerosmith, although they're a good band overall, has had way too much filler on their later albums, and their power ballads are getting more formulaic all the time...coughflyawayfromherecough.

[liquidvirus]

nirvana and metallica definately!!!

[Chris Misfit]

Yeah, well, they're crap.

[mortismurphy]

Nirvana are the most overated ever.

i dont think zep and dc can possibly be underated, Zep ecspecially.
Zepplin fans are the biggest idiots ever (alongside oasis and radiohead fans), they constantly ram it down  peoples throats how there the greatest thing since slice bread and if you disagree your a fuckin arsehole, on another board i stated a opinon (in a very civil war) and got a ton of abuse just cos if find them overated and plagarists.
Fuck Led zepplin and there 30mins drum solos

[duga]

AC/DC and Aerosmith  

[Jagged Little Pill]

Most over rated is nirvana...they suck ass.
