I'd say Led Zepplin is the most over-rated, but Pearl Jam is definitly the worst on the that list.
IMO Rolling Stones > Led Zepplin > AC\DC > Pearl Jam
Edit: Can you really call Pearl Jam over-rated at all? When have you ever heard somebody call Pearl Jam great?
AC/DC no question. Dem same 3 chords. The first 40 seconds of Hell's Bells is the best music they ever wrote, by far.
I was once visiting a friend in Tennessee, and he had a friend who described himself as the biggest AC/DC fan there is. I asked him to list as many great songs as he could off the top of his head. He threw out 15 songs, including the obvious ones (Back in Black, TNT, Dirty Deeds, For Those About to Rock, etc.), and at least a few that I didn't recognize, but I took his word that they were great AC/DC songs. When he was done, and had listed 15 songs, I said, "you know they've put out 14 albums, right? 18 if you include the ones only released in Australia. That makes for an average, by your own count, of less than 1 great song per album." He stopped talking about AC/DC for the rest of the night.
Pearl Jam is also pretty crappy (maybe even worse than AC/DC), but I hear a lot less people claiming them to the be the "greatest rock band of all time", than I hear people making that claim about AC/DC.
I like AC/DC but they are far overrated. Their music is fun to listen to, but not much else, and I couldn't listen to large quantities of it in a short period of time.
Pearl Jam sucks big time.AC/DC is my favorite band since I was ten,and I am now 38 years of age.There is nothing overated about AC/DC or Led Zeppelin.AC/DC is on there 40th year as global dominance.They still come out with no.1 hits.The band don't come out with as many albums like they used to for the simple reason the band members are getting to old for what they perform.Angus Young still moves better on stage and with more energy then alot of 20 year olds.If you don't like AC/DC,THEN AT LEASTE GIVE THEM THE RESPECT THE BAND DESERVES.They have coming out with great Rock'N'Roll for 40 years.
Led Zepplin is the only band on that list whom I really don't like ANY of their music, but at the same time their influence on music is undeniable and there was SOME talent contained in the band.
I guess I would say ACDC even if I like some of their songs. Thing is they are one of the most redundant bands around and every single song I hear of theirs sounds very familiar to the rest. They also have the most BORING drumming EVER! I mean, we are talking about Meg White level percussion there and as a drummer that's kind of a big deal....
Definitely Pearl Jam because ACDC, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones are actually entertaining to listen to.
They are a 80's Hard Rock band, why would they change their sound....AC/DC easily.
I think one of the best qualities a band can have is the ability to reinvent themselves, and AC/DC has sounded the same for over thirty years.

AC/DC. Â Zep and the Stones are legitimately amazing, Pearl Jam is probably overrated but still damn good, but AC/DC are mediocre and they get treated like rock gods. Â I can't think of another band that only uses fifths and solos with about a five-fret range, and stays in one key for practically every song that got as much acclaim as they do.
