I never thought of the Doors as over-rated. In fact I loved a lot of their music. Great band in my opinion. 8)

I personally think the Doors were a great band. Jim Morrison may not have been a great singer, but overall the music was terrific and it really captured the spirit of the times. I think they're given just about the right amount of credit, in terms of their place in rock history.

As others have mentioned, this stuff is so subjective you could argue endlessly over it. I love the Police, for example, but I know people who can't stand them. There was a columnist, meanwhile, for the Buffalo News a year or two who received ot a ton of hate mail after she called the Beatles overrated. Go figure!

Am I reading this correctly? Are you actually saying Led Zeppelin is overrated?

Maybe you are confusing Led Zeppelin with another band. Or you maybe you are just suggesting your dont prefer Led Zeppelins music, which is perfectly fine. Because to say LZ is overrated is somewhat oxymoronic as LZ typically ranks as one of the 5 most influential rock bands of all time.....as voted on my the readers of venerated rock industry rags like Rolling Stone Magezine.

I mean, can a band be universally "overrated" by everybody? Or does that logic defeat itself?
Thats just my own opinion. I mean Led Zeppelin shouldnt be in the top 5 influences (top 20 maybe) But the real people who should take Zeps place in the influences list are the blues artist who wrote the music to a big chunk of the Zep catalog

That sounds familiar. Yeah, my wife commonly says that both Led Zeppelin and Paul McCartney are completely over-rated. Not that she really thinks that, but just to prod me. And I fall for it every time ...
haha - :lol:

PS The Doors were very cool. I do think they would have really benefited from a proper bassist and also making Robbie's guitar parts more prominent. Morrison was an amazing natural talent.

I don't think the Doors are over-rated...at times I actually feel they are underrated because it seems like people tend to obsess about Jim Morrison's genius, and forget that the other band members were rather musically innovative and brilliant as well...
