Most overrated bands

You got that right 2psyop, a  disgrace to America's most civilized big city !

OP: What rating scale are you using and who is doing the rating?  

IE: "overrated" compared to what?

For instance, I think Elton Britt was a heck of a yodeler but there are those who would say Britt was overrated, especially when you consider the likes of Riley Puckett, Charles Anderson, and from afar, Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, and of course, there are so many others.

Sting
Paul McCartney
Queen
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Much of Eric Clapton 
Yes
Elton John
Van Dyke Parks
All BS&T except Child is Father to the Man
All the junk they play at audio shows.

Oh I saw the Velvet Underground and the Who with Keith Moon play. Definitely not over-rated.
Hendrix sense of humour is rarely given recognition. Playing St. Peppers and parodying Cream after they broke up on TV. Lyrics "I hope I never hear surf music again" yet he went to Hawaii and made "Rainbow Bridge."  

Talking Heads
