Most overrated band?

I don't think that pink floyd is overrated its just that there are more bands during the 60's like pink floyd that deserve more credit and fame than pink floyd like the misunderstood or the united states of america

For my money, back in my day, The Cure is the worst band ever. Absolutely unlistenable.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

The Roots ok, and Soundgarden maybe, but everything else you listed you gotta be kidding me.

Then again, this entire thread is based on relativity.

lol, i get a kick out of statements like that one.

I wouldn't say that Pink Floyd is overrated, I'd say that they're overplayed. While it is annoying that every high schooler drools over Dark Side Of The Moon when Animals and Wish You Were Here are so much better and other progressive bands like King Crimson, Yes, Explosions In The Sky, The Mars Volta...etc are just as good if not better, they still deserve credit for their brilliant studio work and live performances.

For overrated bands I'd go with:
Nickelback (every song is the exact same thing)
Raq (complete rip off of Phish, no originality)
Jack Johnson (not talentless but Xavier Rudd and Ben Harper are much better)

Yea man, I was being completely sarcastic. That shit is my bread and butter

Even though a solo performer and not a band, its suprising that Britney Spears hasnt been mentioned yet.

..or even Hannah Montana :p
