Ok, there are a bunch of bands playing that people here cream themselves over whenever they get mentioned. Who is the most undeserving of this adulation from the people here?
My vote goes to Manu Chao. UGH!

RAGE
A good song should make you wanna tap your feet and get with your girl. A great song should destroy cops and set fire to the suburbs. I’m only interested in writing great songs. - Tom Morello

Red
Hot
Chili
Peppers
Arctic Monkeys

Red Hot Chilli Peppers. C'mon Kiedis, admit it, you're just going through the motions now, aren't you?
A teenage dream, so hard to beat...
damn you guys are retards thinking that rage is overrated do me a favor and pull your head out of your ass
"This microphone explodes shattering the molds either drop the hits like de la o or get the fuck off the commode" long live RATM
hrmmm im gonna go with Interpol. I love their music but how in the world are they billed as the sub headliner?
lollipops and crisps
Arcade Fire
hahah
an overrated thread gets a *
arcade fire
Well for me, Interpol, Arctitc Monkeys and of course Tiesto. And Julieta Venegas in Mexico, but I guess nobody cares about her here in the US.
RHCP are overplayed and overrated too.
I think it's a tie between Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire.
Also, I really like both bands a lot (have all their music), but I still think they are hyped up way too much.
"Yeah chicks go nuts for that... the male camel toe."
"Yea yea! The camel tail."
Rage and RHCP!!!!!!!!
Arctic Monkeys...
A whole shitload of hype about a band that (when I listened to some of their stuff) doesn't sound very special. What exactly IS their draw anyway? Any fans out there care to tell me why you like them? Or is it because you were told by some media outlet or magazine that they were the new hot band and that you HAD to like them?
I can see why people say Arcade Fire, but I don't think you can say they are overrated. They are a specific brand of music that you either like or don't like. They aren't hyped as some huge band, they are an indie band. Now you could say the Arctic Monkeys are overrated for sure, they are billed as the next big thing. Yet they don't play next big thing music, I personally think they are good, but think they are over hyped.
Anywho that's my worthless two cents.
It's definitely the RHCP
RATM. I like 'em, but I've never understood the idolatry.
As for Arctic Monkeys, when I listen to them I hear a British Pavement: ramshackle and melodic, with the feeling it could all fall apart in a split second. I know some Pavement fans will consider this heresy, but notice that I'm not saying Arctic Monkeys are as good as Pavement; I'm just amused by the similarities, and that's one of the reasons why I like them.
Manu Chao? How can you say Manu Chao? He is nowhere near overrated.
Anyways, Arctic Monkeys by far!
Honorable Mention: Tokyo Police Club
There are a few others I would like to mention, but I have a feeling I would be murdered by specific individuals for saying them.
My top vote still goes to Arctic Monkeys though.
arctic monkeys
interpol
tiesto
paul van dyk
a LOT of bands are higly overrated... Arctic Monkeys, ARCADE FIRE... jesus they're a good band but that's it and i hope the frontman stop trying to emulate Bowie's voice, Tiesto, Julieta Venegas her music is so fucking lame, Paul Van Dyke.. nuff with this guy.
Manu Chao overrated? absolutely NOT, he's going to be the fresh air in coachella.
there's something wrong with my signatures this season...
