Do you realize it wasn't until they hit America that they started to rezonate with the audience and received somewhat a cult following among the "undisciplined and bad" youth, that their concerts started to fill by word of mouth more than anything else? and that they were hated and ignored by the music press of its time?

Is that the way how to become overrated? Of course there is a bunch of people who onlu know "Starway to heaven" but shouldn't they? if it's the most requested song on the radio of all time?

Jeez when I saw Page with Plant after all these years live on their tour and I was getting shivers and my heart stopped beating time from time, is that what the overrated bands do?

Those guys were, are and always will be legends, and they deserve it, I don't see any other view applicable.
