The competition at the bottom is tough but surely Velvet Underground are deserved winners. Mind you if soloists are included then that talent free zone, known as Diana Krall would take the podium. What an über-bore, the epitome of tepidness. And her 'Sub-Liberace' piano tinkling (Malcolm Steward's description) could put the most bothersome infant to sleep in minutes. And don't get me started on her back-up band. They have all the enthusiasm you would expect if they were heading for a vasectomy from a blind surgeon.  



If you think a band is overrated, get over it.
Why get over it?   If they are crap in my opinion then I will say so. 

Saying an artist is overrated is akin to saying you're somehow better and more discerning than that artist's fanbase and catalog.
Non sequitur.  Scores well on political correctness, though.

Complete narcissistic bollux.
If you think other's opinions are overrated, get over it.
