you compare AC/DC to the other rock bands in the 70's and 80's there is really not much competition IMO. They were the best.

Beatles, IMO.

I agree.
The thread title is "overrated" not "terrible".

The way the "experts" talk about the Beatles one would think they single handedly invented the guitar, the drums, the microphone, vocal language etc.

There are a few Beatles songs that are good but they are WWWAAAAYYY overrated!

Name a better band that came out in the last 20 years.

Pearl Jam has made some of the most influential and meaningful music released since their inception.

They continue to produce an amazing product to this very day.

I have been to a ton of concerts, seen them twice and they are far and away the best live band that I have ever seen.

Nirvana is the most overrated band of all-time. To me, it's not even close.

Soundgarden and AIC are/were much better bands than Nirvana...

For those who are saying Nirvana ia overrated, i think you could make a strong argument with their body of work, but when you factor in thier influence on the music landscape and the culture change of young people in the 90's, i think it's hard to say they are overrated.
Let's not forget the wild card in this, Dave Grohl, who is one of the best drummers out there and has done quite well for himself.

They're hot and cold. Some great albums and some worthless ones. The 90's stuff was all much better in my opinion.

Agreed, the last album was not too impressive, what i have noticed with this band is when Dave is about to start a side project the current album suffers.
The self titled album is still my favorite, the fact he did that whole album himself, lyrics, vocals, drums and guitar blows my mind.

Yep. I like Colour and the Shape a little better, though.

You can thank the media on the influence factor...I like Nirvana but lets call a spade a spade here.

When you stack them against the other bands that came out during that time, they are mediocre.

Who knows how it would have played out had Kurt not committed suicide.

The whole Grunge scene just got way out of hand, capitalism at its finest.

I could list a 100 better bands but it wouldn't matter because PJ is your favorite and there is no convincing you that anyone else could possibly be better.

I would put the bands you mentioned above Nirvana as well. The Pixies should have got alot more love from the mainstream as much as Nirvana has received IMO. It's just the cycle of the music industry we have seen since the invent of rock n roll. Look at what sort of poser like sterotypes Punk pushed out the past 20 years. We have a store in the mall that symbolizes that called Hot Topic. Where all the goth and emo kids can feel special and different.

Exactly...technically speaking, just from a pure musical standpoint, Nirvana could not hold a candle to Soungarden, Pearl Jam, STP, Smashing Pumpkins, AIC...list goes on and on from bands of that era.

Nirvana is like the QB of the Grunge era, they get way too much credit for what happened back then, sorta like a QB does when things are going well.
