by many?

Very, very few people call The Beatles overrated. And those that are doing it know jack shite about music and history. Even people who don't like them at least respect them and give them lots of credit for what they did. But to call them overrated is just laughable. Those people must be the big Nickelback or Lady Gaga fans.

The Beatles are not overrated, they have the most hits and the most record sales of ANYONE IN HISTORY! On top of that their music is still popular and enjoys a good bit radio play after approximately 50 years!

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Alice In Chains
Green Day

Exactly. I am not a huge Beatles fan but I think I understand how good they were. And how huge! They started like NKOTB as just a boy band. Low and behold they had real talent. Like bluegrass music. It may not be your thing, but try to play it. Same with the Beatles. Try to sing Imagine (not Beatles only Lennon I know) or Let it Be or Yesterday. While playing piano!!

My 90's list is
Pearl Jam.. To leave them out of the list is foolish. They still play and still put out relevant songs (Just Breathe)

Alice in Chains

Chilli Peppers

Metallica... Black album was huge. All while grunge was taking hold.

Soundgarden

STP.

MTV did not coin the term "grunge". Sub Pop did. You know... Nirvana's original label. Of course, they were talking about Mudhoney, but what you gonna do? But MTV clearly did not invent the term grunge.

ozzy. while ozzy didnt release any great albums during this period, he introduced ozzfest and he had the greatest touring band that he has ever played with. ozzy, wylde, geezer, catronova on drums and rick wakeman on keys. i never saw them during this time, but the live videos i have seen are unbelievable. rick wakeman and zakk wylde together. craziness.

I agree. I'm leavin nirvana out. Although i do change the station when most nirvana & Metallica songs come on I will add them to my honorable mention. Still can't get myself to do the same for aic. Just never got into to em. I know people love em but they're not for me.

My top 5:

1. RHCP
2. Pearl jam
3. Smashing pumpkins
4. Bush
5. Live (1 of most underrated mainstream bands of 90s)

HM: weezer, sublime, rage, metallica, dmb, nirvana, stp, oasis
