Pretty much anything in the mainstream, and bonus points go to Nirvana for all the people who hail Kurt as a musical god and say Nirvana is the greatest band ever.

Except for the fact that the beatles at least had some talent, they weren't a manufactured disney teen pop band...

I doubt it, The Beatles brought with them a unique sound, and it was obvious that they actually played their instruments, Jonas Brothers are just a rehash of Hanson and other assorted Tween Pop bands.

Really? You know what everyone would be saying in 1964? I highly doubt that. In fact the beatles are not overrated at all. They deserve every bit of the success they had. From 1960-1964 alone they performed live an estimated 1200 times (and this was before they started to become really successful). The majority of bands don't even perform twelve hundred times in their entire lifetime.

it's easy to do a show when you can't sing or dance. and yes this is what people were saying in 1964.

Really they can't sing? Thats why they sold so many albums because they were awful singers? And thats why people continued to go to their shows? Hmm never thought of it that way And really you got proof they were saying that in 1964?

Amon Amarth and Opeth are both overrated in my book. Metallica can go in there as well, as can most country singers.

Yeah, DT is quite overrated. I get the feeling most of their fans don't listen to many other prog metal bands (or they wouldn't say Dream Theater is their favorite band).

Actually what Axe said is true. After listening to Dream Theater, I branched out into other Progressive music scenes: Yes, Kansas, Porcupine Tree, etc. I just stay away from Opeth...

Not so with me. I pretty much started out with Pink Floyd, then got into Jethro Tull, then I forgot about rock in general and listened only to Cat Stevens for a year or two, then I got into Dio and some of the trad metal, then I discovered Queensryche, and THEN came my prog metal phase (to which DT pales in comparison to so many vastly superior groups - Pain of Salvation, Tool, Threshold, Suspyre, Beyond Twilight, Ark, Millenium, Circus Maximus, Savatage, and Shadow Gallery, even Frameshift). :|
