Wow... It seems to me that you guys are applying the term "overrated" to bands you simply don't care for. In their time, many of these bands were considered innovators even if they have become dated by today's standards. Personally, I hate The Beach Boys and all that California surfin' crap (even though that's where I live!) but to call them overrated is incorrect. They were The Back Street Boys of their time and they spawned a zillion clones. Emerson Lake and Palmer were part of an entire movement in music along with bands like Yes, King Crimson and even to a degree, Pink Floyd. I could go on and on but the bottom line is, to label some of these artists overrated exposes you as not being musically conscious during the peak years of their influence.
