I asked this on another thread:

How can a band be overrated? Their success is directly based on the fans. Obviously if they have a lot of fans, they must be good. Greenday's music now, is complete crap compared to their 90's stuff. Dookie, Insomiac, Nimrod, all great albums. I can remember a time when the only people that listened to Greenday were punks and generally just people who post on here. Now it's little 12 year old girls, and MTV. I've said it before and i'll say it again, Coldplay is special because they actually make good music, compared to the crap coming out these days.
