Bob Dylan is by far the most overrated skill wise. Dude can't sing or play the guitar. Neil young also falls in that category.
LOL....Let's just rename this thread "great bands that I don't like".

Although I agree on Bob Dylan.

U2 had a couple of great years and great longevity. The Pete Rose of bands.

So do I. Also, that's the worst selection of any that anyone has made on this thread.

As far as stuff nobody has mentioned, post-And Justice For All Metallica for doing the "make inferior music to go radio mainstream for more $$$" path.

He's obviously not a band but my "Overrated" contribution would be Lil Wayne. I like a few of his songs but I think​ overall he's not close to Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye, etc. Not sure where he ranks on any greatest rappers list but I would say it has to be too high.
Agree on this. 95% of Lil Wayne songs and features are awful. The songs that are good are usually carried by someone else.

I get why people don't like The Eagles. But I don't genehy people think their songs sound the same. They incorporate like 4 styles of radically different music and they have four different vocalists.

The only Eagles song I really like is Life in the Fast Lane, because it sounds like it could be a ZZ Top song.
