I happen to think that the 3 most overrated rock bands in history are the following (in order)
1. Kiss (just fucking awful, I simply don't get it)
2. Aerosmith (tolerable before Steven Tyler's voice went to shit)
3. The Rolling Stones (don't get me wrong, I think they are damn good, just not the geniuses they are made out to be and certainly not even in the same company as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc.)
Please discuss and add your own.

Most rock bands are over rated thats part of the deal. But what I think you are trying to say is what are the most over rated 'greatest bands' My list would include:
1. Yes - Lots of talent little pay off
2. Rush - Still trying to figure out why people like them
3. Genesis - Sorry Tim nothing against your Dad but once Peter left so did the ideas
4. U2 - 3 ok records doesn't make a legendary band
5. Journey - Actually I am starting to like them more and more as I get older but I still think most of thier stuff is garbage
6. Kiss- Whatever i may have liked about them when i was 13 has eroded with time and the family jewels show
7. Janes Addiction - Talk about hype
8. Beastie Boys - one great record and 20 years of hype
9. Rolling Stones -Haven't done jack shit in 35 years.they were fucking awesome in their day though and you can't take that away from them
10.Pink Floyd - I actually fell asleep at a concert.
11. Bruce Sprinsteen - wayyyyyyyyyyyyy over rated. Early stuff great, sux now
I can keep going...
