Hmm, that makes it a bit tougher, then. For current stuff, I'd say Evanescence wins hands-down for most overplayed single, and Linkin Park for most overrated band as well as for most consistently overplayed singles in the last year. I haven't heard a band hyped as much as Linkin Park since the Meat Puppets' "Backwater" was in hourly rotation on most rock/alt stations several years back, they're definitely today's poster child for the RIAA marketing-machine.
Looking at the long term? I'll give Joe Sixpack what he's lookin' for, most overrated band is probably the Beatles, though I never really liked much of their stuff anyway, so I guess I'm biased there. Guns 'n Roses would probably be my alternate. Most overrated song ever, Stairway to Heaven - yeah, it was good, the
first 10,000 times I listened to it... Most overrated album is a difficult call. I hate to knock the Beatles twice by saying the White album, so I'll go out on a limb: Zeppelin IV, even though I like Zeppelin.
