My cousin once commented to me when I was on an "overrated bands" board like this one.... he said "what rating is being used for this or that band and what defines how they get that rating?" So whilke he was being quite sarcastic, it kinda highlighted to me that if something is overrated to you, you really mean to say purely that you just don't like them while others do... its a purely subjective thing removed from historical significance of a band or the quality of their body of work...

This is mostly a thread where we use the term "overrated" to let off steam at bands we don't like and thus don't perceive the need to give them the praise others give them....
