He won but you get a strong second.

The Grateful Dead

Pink Floyd

The Band

Prince

Prince

The Artist formerly known as Prince

Any band with "crows" (or any derivitive to crows) in the title

Some more:

^this is the best list in this thread. I might disagree with the order but can't dispute the bands on the list. Well done.

The Eagles

Crosby, Stills and Nash (left Young off intentionally)

The Beatles

Chicago

Blood, Sweat and Tears

Jefferson Starship (but I loved Jefferson Airplane)

Eric Clapton's voice

I've seen the Beatles on the list multiple times. Can someone explain their logic on it?

I'm going just say that any rock band that has sold 50 million records can't be called overrated unless they are being compared to the beatles.

the mob is not stupid.

Met a colored guy at a Buffett concert, asked are you a fan? Hell no, security! All you drunk baby boomers are s pain the ass for this shit.

Also, absolutely most overrated is springsteen .but you got see him live they say .hell no.hate his fans too.

I'll change that to 75 million to keep nickelback out

The key word is "overrated."

Many people consider the Beatles the greatest band of all time. I would say that is overrating them. Do you (Hmmm....) consider them the greatest band of all time?

the dead

tom waits

sublime

dave matthews

AC/DC

I probably do because of their impact, but if you don't, I get it. That's a good explanation.

Eagles, and CSN are underrated. Beatles are appropriately rated as being the best of all time. Jefferson Starship is appropriately rated as being awful. No opinions on the rest.
