No, no, Green Day is definitely overrated. How can anyone see their appeal?

Not one to purposefully hit a sore spot, but I think RHCP are overated in many ways. Their music doesn't have much appeal to me (except Califonication, which is good), and I think there's much better/harder working bands out there that don't get a sniffle of the heaps of praise Pepper's get on a nigh on secondly basis.

I agree. Not to be a huge fanboy, but Mr. Bungle's "California" is loads better than RHCP's "Californiacation".

Just about any mainstream band. I have no clue why people listen to them, they have little to no originality, especially if you ever see them on Mtv.

Also Dani California sounds suspiciously like Mary Jane's Last Dance, by Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers, it's actually the same song with rearraged words. A radio DJ pointed this out by the way, and several said it actually does follow the same chords, beat, tempo, etc. So yeh, what do we call them now, the Red Hot Chili Pettys?

I think Iron Maiden are overrated.

She does. I listened through a cd of her stuff with low expectations and enjoyed several of the songs.

I would say the beatles are overrated, but there's some of their songs that are good also. So I'll say that their quirky LSD half of songs are overrated, so abbey road pretty much.

My Chemical Romance is far overrated by the kids at school. And i think DCFC probably gets a bit more attention than it needs.

I agree with that. While I do enjoy listening to some of their songs, a lot of their stuff is incredibly boring and sometimes irritating.
