There can still be bands that are overrated. I doesn't mean bands you don't like are popular. Bands that are revered through the media that you can't see what all the fuss is about. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's not like anyone else would take it too seriously or that anyone would change their mind. Obviously, there will be some peoples' opinions you will value over others'. And of course, some people just don't know what they're talking about. In a previous version of this thread, someone referred to the Beatles as a "boy band".
Anyway, my point is that it's just a bit of fun.
I think the Talking Heads are overrated. I think Prince is is overrated. It doesn't mean I don't like them or that I don't they're talented or influential. For me, they just get a bit too much love. Discuss.
Spice Girls,Take That,Boyzoze,Girls Aloud,Blue,little Mix,Westlife.......................hope you get my drift.

I don't think it's about certain people's opinions I value over others. That's like putting them on a pedestal or admitting they're some kind of music aficionados. They're not. They are probably expressing an opinion you broadly agree with, which is fine. But at the end of the day it's all about musical tastes. Some music either floats your boat or it doesn't. It's as simple as that.
There will always be some fools claiming that the Beatles were a 'boy band' for instance but in an extreme instance like that you either have to re-educate them or leave them to wallow in their ignorance !
I can think of many manufactured bands more interested in selling merchandise than albums but to claim Nirvana, Amy Winehouse and Tupac of this strategy is absolutely absurd
Cobain, Winehouse and Tupac were all immensely talented.
Along with Nas he was probably the most influential hip hop star of a generation before his untimely death. Yes he’s sold more albums as a result of his death but also because his music still resonates with future generations. He rapped about social issues which still haven’t been addressed today.
Overated? Sold more T-shirt’s than albums? The man has sold over 75m albums ffs
