Calling a band overrated is just a way of cutting down people that like them, as if their taste in music is somehow less sophisticated than yours.
Some people are going to take that personally. It's one thing to not like a band, but to imply that they are not deserving of praise from people who like them is just arrogant and petty.

Every time my girlfriend plays some of her crappy pop radio music I'm wondering what the hell she hears that I don't. More accurately if she DOESN'T hear what I do; talentless can't even play an instrument mass marketed bullshit.

I honestly think T00L is a terrible band. It just sounds like angsty 14 year old spooky rock music in my opinion.
I love the grateful dead and I can see why many don't. I didn't begin liking them till I moved out to the mountains for a while and just started smoking pot all day.
Just something about mountains, sunflowers, bunnies, and the grateful dead that makes me smile.

That's another one. I wouldn't go so far as to call them terrible because I respect what others listen to even if I don't listen to it. But, it just sounds like plain old alternative radio rock to me 
Maybe I just haven't given them a real chance yet who knows

I dunno where you live, but the classic rock radio stations around here play over 20 different Zeppelin songs on a pretty regular basis. Hell during "Get the Led out" they play three Zeppelin songs every night at 9 I think, and they usually play 1 song that's well known and then 2 that even I haven't heard for a long time, and I listen to them on an almost daily basis.

I never cared for them that much but they actually had another song I liked very much called 'So Long' off the 'End of Days' soundtrack. That was one DARK song too and came out around the time of the Columbine shootings so maybe it got surpressed or something.

You haven't given any band a chance if you've only heard them on the radio.
For just about every artist I like, my favorite songs are the obscure ones.

I dont feel the need to give any chances to any band on the radio because it's not worth the time/effort. It's all bad.

and I'm not talking satellite or internet radio, I mean standard commercial rock stations and stuff. Not classic, alternative and pop stuff.

Sometimes a station around here will play a Floyd album start to finish, that's cool.

I can agree with this some-what.
Thought there is some good stuff on the radio occasionally. Given, I think most of it is shit though.
Iron and Wine was on the radio recently, and I think they're pretty damn good.
But most of the stuff on the radio is terrible. The songs they play the most in a day is usually something that would make my ears bleed.
But to say it's ALL bad, without giving it a chance, I don't think I coul do.

I don't remember the last time I listened to the radio. It's not often.

I don't ever listen to the radio either, but I don't think everything they play is bad. They've got some things right.
I listen to it when other people are in the car and THEY put it on. The last time I've put on the radio was a few years ago.

Im kind of taking sides with WhiskeyClone.. A band has no control over them being over-rated.. The fans are the ones who decide that.. Its quixotic to dislike a band just on the fact that everyone likes them..
