Lets talk about other bands...

I want to take this time to discuss more bands that are overrated. Please post some that you can think of. Or you can just post ones that you think are kind of boring and/or overrated. Or just ones you think suck.
Some of mine are:

Radiohead
Belle & Sebastian
Architecture in Helsinki
New Pornographers
Rock Star Supernova

Pearl Jam
Deerhunter
decemberists
wilco
spoon (a bit)
Panda Bear and Animal Collective for sure
Destroyer
Bob Dylan for real kindof
the Hold Steady
Liars

and my #1 overrated: Lil' Wayne

I'm not saying I don't like some of these a lil' but they to me are obviously overrated for different reasons.

i might get murdered for my small, but serious, list:
Devendra Banhart
Elliot Smith (a lot)
Radiohead (couldn't agree more, ever since the day i was born!)
decemberists (for sure, aaron, right on)
Unwed sailor

i know a lot of mine are agreements, but, if it ain't broke,you know?

and maybe some of mine are overrated in the group i hang out with.. and mostly, i just don't like it. and that's okay.

j-kiddin: good points about the hold steady and liars. i agree. and deerhunter.

i love destroyer but i get why people don't like him.

your point about animal collective and panda bear, however, makes me want to tell you to get a life.
