This is all opinion....the subject "TEN MOST OVERRATED BANDS"A
In your case, these opinions are based on minimal knowledge of music and
musicians, and founded merely on anti-trend tendencies.

If John Lennon is so 'overrated', why the hell are 50%+ of today's songwriter's
influenced so heavily by him?  Why Lennon and not McCartney?
Imagine vs. Love me Do
Ballad of John and Yoko vs. She Loves You (yeah, yeah, bleah)
Give Peace a Chance vs. Silly Love Songs (Wings-era)

Eric Clapton may be hit or miss, but he IS one of the founding fathers of
Rock guitar......Beck, Page, Hendrix, and Clapton......that's it!!!

With all the record sales, these 10 bands must be doing SOMETHING right.
When you can fill Rich Stadium (Buffalo, NY) with a reunion tour
10 years after breakup, give me a call.  (I am referring to the Who, here)

                                  Chuck "The most UNDERRATED,etc." Farnsworth

P.S....who DO you like????? Led Zeppelin is the 
       classic you didn't slam....
