ggw, you are so foolish

if i say who i pick, Kosmo will definitely close the thread.
saying a band is overrated is not a personal attack
tie…yeah yeah yeahs and the strokes

runner-up…the drive-by truckers (just kidding, rhett. how can a band be overrated when they hardly rate at all?)

i'm preparing myself for the wrath.
A lot of bands that I hear a "buzz" about…stuff that I'm sure is probably pretty good and I would like, but somehow when I hear for the 100th time that they're so GREAT or AMAZING it just drives me nuts.
I'm afraid to so much as breath too loudly in this thread.

I take overrated to mean "as rated by critics."

Popularity doesn't rate a band, the media does.
