8. See, they are ones that I think are too overrated! Don't get me

9. Not sure if I understand the question..Are they overrated or do they deserve to be rated as high as

they are? Either way, I'll agree that U2 is overrated. I have often thought that the only reason that people thought they were great is because Bono expected it. I must be missing something because I have always thought they were okay but not as amazing as others thought they were. Of course, I always thought all of the Stones were overrated too!

10. I didn't really know of a better way to word it. Every good band

is overrated to someone who doesn't think they are as great (ex: the Beatles, I think they are great but are they overrated???) So, the point is bands that should be overrated! :shrug: I know, still no help! :shrug:

12. lol it's hard to define

somehow U2, ACDC, and Queen all fit the question perfectly, the way I read it anyway.
I tried to think who else but I'm stumped from there.
(the Beatles, great as they are, might be a tad overblown just for the millions of screaming teen fans they had)

11. Lynyrd Skynyrd until the plane crash in 1977

Terribly overplayed but justifiably so in my opinion. They took their music seriously and worked like dogs at their studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama to get it right.

Their first major tour was opening for The Who on their Quadrophenia tour. They got encores as an opening act!

13. Actually AC/DC was always revered for doing exactly what they do

They only do one thing, but they do it damn well.

[Wapsie B]

14. Yes they do!

15. The Grateful Dead

and all of their copycat bands: Phish, Widespread Panic, etc...
