Seriously though, I'm kidding. I don't really care what he thinks. I like Pearl Jam a lot, but I can definitely see people seeing them as overrated. They have sold upwards of 30 million albums, so if you only think they are mediocre then I guess that would definitely qualify them as overrated. Personally, I think they deserve it. Ten is one of my top five favourite albums. They have great vocals and good guitar so they are ace to me.

I think Pearl Jam horrible to listen to, can't bear 'em.

Really? Why?

I just find them to be a really mundane listen.

I can't bear listening to the White Stripes. Man the sound just makes me cringe, not good for the ears. Same with Arcade Fire.

Well they make me cringe too, but does that mean they are overrated?

Rammstein, Tupac, The Beatles, 50 Cent, Led Zepplin.

AC/DC

I think they're overrated. It seems every song that I hear has the word Rock in it, and I think Angus Young is terribly overrated for an guitarist.

One radio station in London, ON had him voted as the best guitarist of all time.

Agreed on the AC/DC. Theyre a fun band, but people constantly name-drop them and treat them like gods.

Yeah, definitly.

I dont mind hearing them in the car occasionally, but every song sounds the same.

U2 - The whole "We save the world with our music" act has got old after the years. Their music isn't anything to be proud of, neither.

Hahaha I agree. Here's something you might find funny. It was drawn during height of Pearl Jams career, back when they were highly overrated and were MTV bitches.Then again... this IS Evan Dorkin humor.

Hahaha.

'40'.
