Ah, it's trolling time again. Let's see, I need to pick a band that has talent so the claim offends, and is popular so that fans will try to disprove this subjective claim of "overrated."

U2? Nah, most people do agree that Bono is a bit full of himself.

The Rolling Stones? Maybe, but will anyone care enough to defend them?

Pink Floyd! There we go. Um . . . (hides his PF and Gilmour CDs) . . . they're pretentious wankers! They became bland and pointless after Waters left! "Wish You Were Here" isn't funny!

That's just so beyond wrong I lack the words..

well, compared to The Dead, the Beatles are shit. But they're still awesome in their own way, so I agree that was yet another trollish comment in this thread.

Radiohead.

Bingo

Greatful Dead is indeed also overrated.....Good.......Not bad....just tremendously overrated due to the legion of acidheads during their heydey. Same could be said of Pink Floyd.

On the flip side, Rush deserves much more accolades than what they've received in their careers.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, I know some of the Beatles stuff was pop-fluff but their entire body of work has a lot of really, really great songs.

Everything before Rubber Soul can be disregarded. The BeachBoys did standard pop faaar better than the Beatles, and their artier stuff compares favorably to the Beatles, even if it doesn't surpass it.
