I think that people just need to clear this up.
Overrated does not mean overplayed, or that you have heard about them or thir music too much.
It means that their importance and value and hyped beyond their true value.
Nirvana, white stripes, nor Jimmy page are overrated.
while nirvana is loved, I have yet to see anyone over the age of 13 claim that they were the GREATEST BAND. I ahve heard many people say they were their favorite band. They are not overrated. overhyped maybe, but not overrated.
the white stripes I always ahve seen as blues rock, pure and simple. they touch off of old delta blues, chicago blues and the rolling stones more than they do garage rock. again, they are not overrated, at least in my opinion. They are as good as everyone says they are.
Jimmy page is not overrated. I know a lot of guitar dudes,a nd a lot of metal dudes and while they all love led zeppelin, I never hear Jimmy page hyped as a genius like hendrix, or claptopn, or whoever else. Jimmy page is rated just right, again.
as far as overrated bands go, here is a list
Oasis
Stone Roses
the sex pistols
Fantomas
faith no more
elvis
ha ha!
