I think you are all prejudiced against British bands. Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones overrated? You must be joking! Most of the bands you mentioned I've never heard of. 3 British acts that are overrated are Coldplay, Radiohead and Ed Sheeran.

[@radgybenno]

And of course the stone roses 😂

[@adrianbradley8513]

My top 5 overrated bands AND reasons 1 The Rolling Stones, too much personal life hype,who cares how much drugs they have taken. 2 Guns N Roses, I hate Axl Rose's voice 3 Pink Floyd,the song Another Brick In The Wall is SOOOOO depressing, repetitive and I can't name another of their songs. 4 U2, they are SOOOO boring 5 Nirvana, I grew up on eighties Hair Rock bands eg Def Leppard, Bon Jovi etc and all I hear is Smells Like Teen Spirit this and Smells Like Teen Spirit that. I know that my views are contraversal as these bands are VERY popular and some people think that these bands are the best thing since sliced bread. In fact the more infamous the bands are the MORE I dislike them. DONT get me started on overrated solo artists eg Ed Sheeran, Adelle. Could you do one on overrated solo artists please. By the way GREAT video.

Rush is a bit overhyped (in terms of legacy), they weren't that special, I see bands like King Crimson and Jethro Tull as more important for prog rock, but Rush is fine.

There's nothing I don't disagree with here. 300,000,000 Led Zeppelin record buyers may care to disagree, though 🙂

[@John-k6f9k]

You're assuming that everyone who bought a record likes it. I bought Led Zeppelin albums not because I liked the band but they had a big reputation and I wanted to hear them. If you judge sales as a measure of quality then Michael is far better than Led Zeppelin.

[@dustinjones8887]

Very interesting picks. Agree about everything he said about Nirvana. blughh. Zeppelin, I understand they have a great catalog with lots of innovations, but I just don't ever put them on....if so VERY RARELY for a couple of songs. Def agree with her on Limp Biscuit. What I don't get are this comment section about The Beatles. I'm an 80's guy, Gen X'er, who also loves lots of later stuff from 2000's 2010's. But my God. do your homework on The Beatles before you write them as overrated. 30 yrs ago, I delve into their 211 song catalog that they did in a tiny 8 year window. It took me 3 years to get thru their catalog, bc every album I bought, was so good, I listened to it over and over for 3 months.. 30 yrs later, I'm still mind blown by The Beatles. Do your homework on them.

[@jerrysully6972]

As for the Sex Pistols, I think you were talking about Johnny Rotten. Sid Vicious passed away a long time ago.

[@mournblade1066]

Also, Sid was really only just window dressing--he didn't play on any of their recordings, and even live he really couldn't play the bass. He was purely there for show. Johnny Rotten (real name: John Lydon), on the other hand, is the real deal. Sadly, he just lost his wife of over 40 years to Alzheimer's this past year.

[@jerrysully6972]

@mournblade1066 it was on The "Great Rock n Roll Swindle". By the Sex Pistols. I'm looking right at the album. I believe he also sang lead vocals on "Something Else."

[@timwhitnell7145]

I will give you credit for one thing - being so bold as to shamelessly flaunt all of your severe lack of musical knowledge and taste. Led Zeppelin and Rush are two of the most innovative, energetic and talented groups, musically AND lyrically, ever. IMO both bands can't be rated highly enough. Led Zeppelin is mainstream rock/hard rock at its absolute best with arguably the best drummer, singer and guitarist all in the same band. Five of their albums are essentially greatest hits LPs on their own. Rush excelled at epic storytelling, in music and words, then morphed into more mainstream rock and then experimented with synth-heavy music. They were both popular and critically acclaimed all the way through from about 1974-86. Three guys who made music that sounded like it came from 5 or 6. They also recorded two of the best and most intricate instrumentals of all time - La Villa Strangiato and YYZ. 2112 is epic storytelling at its best. The Who were great for about a 15-year period. Won't Get Fooled Again is arguably the greatest rock song, both musically and lyrically and for its timeless political messaging. For that alone they are legendary and then throw in the gritty classics Who Are You and Behind Blue Eyes., U-2 were the best band of the 1980s, period, and good into the early 1990s. After that, not so much. The Eagles were anything but boring. They wrote catchy hooks and timeless lyrics that were evocative while fusing country with pop and rock seamlessly. They also had UNDERRATED early career harmonies. Steve Miller was a superb guitar player from Texas who wrote many catchy hooks with some interesting storytelling. I will agree with you on the Sex Pistols and, to a lesser degree, Nirvana. The latter had some good tunes but their legacy is tied to being the epitome of the grunge movement. Steely Dan had some really good music in the 1970s but I think they are overrated. People overly gush about them like they are The Beatles. I don't get it. If you want to talk about underrated bands or even bands that most don't know much or anything about but (I think) were great, then you're talking about Supertramp, ELO, Triumph, April Wine and Max Webster. I thank you for letting me rag on you on your own channel. P.S. I hate to be the word police but you spelled the word 'controversial' very wrong.

[@Pantherking916]

GAWD DAYUM!!!!! Finally someone who has the balls to be genuine & honest!!!! Thank you SO much for this in proving that it's ok to have an opinion! I totally agree you about Rush. I can't stand them in any capacity. I totally disagree with you about Queen but that's ok. U2 are most certainly overrated. Limp Bizkit are just that - limp. Eagles, to me, are a 1 hit wonder. Nirvana who? The fact Led Zepplin is even mentioned is tantamount to a declaration of war LOL. I am of course joking with you but 1000% disagree. Led Zepplin are Gods. 1 band you didn't mention who, imo, are totally overrated is Motley Crue. Again, thank you so much for sharing.

[@mournblade1066]

Agree with The Clash and Pearl Jam. But at least The Clash has a lot of decent songs. I cannot think of a single Pearl Jam song that I have ever genuinely liked.

[@elijahmorris9864]

I love Led Zeppelin and I wasn’t born till 81. Aerosmith is also awesome.

[@garybalranald6323]

Depends on your perception of how rated you think they are, but for me: Grateful Dead Rush Radiohead Nirvana Green Day Def Leppard The first 3 are all similar in that they are niche. You either get it, or don't. I find Thom Yorke's voice bland and painful. The other two are mainstream. I don't dislike Nirvana, but I found them bland from the get-go. Green Day - bland pop/punk music with no balls. Def Leppard is just naff balls. Didn't bother mentioning bubble gum rock bands like Bon Jovi - not sure anyone with any credibility, rates them.

[@loboblanco4426]

U2 and Aerosmith

Can someone please explain what The Rolling Stones actually do well? I have listened to all of their albums and watched some of their live shows. Nothing in their entire output rises above the level of a an average blues-rock bar band. Their reputation seems to be built on nothing.

[@Foul_Quince]

They used to be the best blues band in the world. In 1964.

[@kerry7932]

@@Foul_Quince They never rose to the level of the American blues artists they were imitating from the 1940s-1960s, so they were never close to the best. My question stands, what did they do well? Never mind the even more perplexing mystery of their legendary status.

[@Foul_Quince]

@@kerry7932 Maybe they never rose to the level of the blues artists who inspired them, but they were a ferociously tight young band and they created and exploited their niche. Plus, they were good looking and white, neither of which their mentors were, and back then that counted for something.

I don’t agree with all of your options. Especially… your opinions on Alison Krause. One of the most challenging things for a singer to do is to go soft & quiet. By singing loudly, it hides the imperfections and notes blend (especially with a microphone). Alison Krause is also in a different class of singer (than most). I disagree with (many of) your choices… but it certainly as a decent idea for a video. Thanks.

What I never liked about the Sex Pistols was they acted like the world owes them something. I do not like Punk. I love Early Rolling Stones but they should have retired after the 1970's. My opinions of course. I agree about Grateful Dead as their 27 minute never ending songs at concerts were enough to put me to sleep, however I do like Jerry Garcia and his solo band type stuff. I have the first 5 Led Zeppelin albums but have not listened to them in about 20 years and I do not miss them at all. I agree about Nirvana too. Motley Crue turns my stomach they should have quit in the 70's. I do like several of The Who's songs. I am not into drugs so bands that were about let's see how drunk or messed up on drugs we can get turn me off. I enjoyed your review. I sing and play cover songs at open mics for zero money, just for the love of sharing music. I am 72 years old and still rocking!
