Hopefully this will lead to some musical snobbery.
I'll start. This one is obvious even to a baboon....

Coldplay.
Muse - sounds like the guy is singing sitting on the toilet (Muscle Museum is pretty good, though).
Led Zeppelin - OK, they have some good songs - like Tangerine and Out on the Tiles - but a pretty boring band, in my opinion, not the MOST overrated, though, but they are a "huge" band.
Queens of the Stoneage
Coldplay is understood ; )

I cannot decide between U2 and the Rolling Stones

My candidates

U2. Sorry, but I find Bono quite annoying.
Rolling Stones are REALLY overrated. And I can't stand the band's members either, especially Keith Richards - he's a disgusting fossil. To make matters worse, he said in an interview that Freddie wasn't his cup of tea. What a shit.

Interesting selections. U2 seems to be winning.
I think the stones and zeppelin each have quite a few uniquely different songs as to not be overrated.
Stuff like gimme shelter, you can't always get what you want, Angie etc .
Zep: Kashmir, houses of the holy, rain song, lemon song, whole lotta love (predecessor to GDML) as well as stuff that has artistic merit. ..
But hey, each to his own.
I'm just glad no one's said the who.
I'd throw JOURNEY in as overrated as well. Particularly in Asian countries.

Yeah, what was that all about?
Disgusting fossil is exactly what he is! Good one, Costa86
Definitely Coldplay
Since Keith's musical influences were blues players, whereas Fred may have dabbled a bit in the blues early on but quickly developed other tastes, it's hardly surprising Keith doesn't "get" Fred. People are alowed to have different tastes in music and it doesn't make them "a shit".
Anyway, U2. Massively over-rated. Everything AC/DC did after Rising Power was terrible. The Rolling Stones did some great stuff: Gimme Shelter is one of the best songs of the 1970s. When G'n'R were good they were great, but there's lots of filler in there too. Anyone saying Led Zep is over-rated must have painted-on ears.
