Even for something to BE overrated, that band has to be popular in the first place. A Band who's debute album is amazing can't even BE overrated! And as for Led Zeppelin being overrated, that was the whole point of their fourth album. Critics were tossing out the 'overrated' card at them. They were saying that the only reason Zeppelin sold so much is because people would automatically buy ANYTHING with their name on it. So the band put out that album without their name, with no words at all on the album besides the names of the songs - and that album is one of the best selling albums of all time. It has 'Stairway' for christ's sake! - and that's definently not the only great song on that album.
Do you even know what the term 'overrated' means?
Pretty sure I do, why?
And like I said, for a band to be overrated (where everyone says they're great when they're really not), they have to be popular in the first place. A band that's not popular in the first place, that no one's heard of, can't be overrated. And in any case, saying something is overrated is the worst possible thing you'd could say in an argument. You say the stuff I like is overrated, and I say the stuff you like is overrated. It's all just a point of view and our own opinions. In fact, this whole damn argument is useless because it's all just opinions. The only thing I can say to support my side is that there is no debating that classic rock bands made a much bigger imprint on the world in their times than any band now adays.
