Also, in terms of being overrated, I didn't include any contemporary bands because they haven't been talked about being great for decades; I guess should have titled the thread Most Overrated Rock Bands with some sort of Legendary Status.
Anyway, I also agree that U2 should be up there. They are like the Stones to me, really good but not genius great.

If you're basing your opinion of Journey on "dont' stop believin'" .... you don't know Journey. Of course they're going to seem overrated if you are one of these guys that grew up with that album having come out but have virtually no clue about their early stuff. Have you ever heard their stuff before 1980?
Give the Infinity and Evolution albums a whirl and then tell me again how "overrated" they are. :D
And did someone really mention Elton John as being overrated?
The who?
Floyd?
Stones?
Led Zep?
Rush???
There's a screw loose with some of you people, obviously.
