Most Overrated Bands

Today I'm going to start off a list of some of the worlds most Overrated Bands of all time.  Today, I'm going to highlight three bands at once since they are very similar in style and cult-like following. Dave Mathews Band, Phish and the Grateful Dead fall under the category "jam-hippy-stoner-bands". I never got into DMB. Their jam-rock never interested me. Mostly because Dave Mathews can't sing a note, and the music is quite boring. "Crash into Me" unfortunately always plays at work and it's just painful to listen to. You just can't understand a word this guy sings! A lot of avid drummers worship their drummer Carter Whatshisname, but I'm not that easily impressed. Overall, they're garbage.

Phish and The Grateful Dead both bore the living crap out of me. Playing a vacuum while jumping on a trampoline while tripping on acid is just a bit strange Phish. Improving songs for 10-15 minutes is also not very exciting. Does it even count as a song after 15 minutes? I don't know. Their fans follow them to the ends of the world too. Not sure where these burn outs get the money. The Grateful Dead never got my attention either. A lot of my friends would dig them, but I never did. Thank God for punk rock.
