saying a band is overrated is not a personal attack

 runner-up...the drive-by truckers (just kidding, rhett. how can a band be overrated when they hardly rate at all?)

A lot of bands that I hear a "buzz" about...stuff that I'm sure is probably pretty good and I would like, but somehow when I hear for the 100th time that they're so GREAT or AMAZING it just drives me nuts.

I'm afraid to so much as breath too loudly in this thread.

I take overrated to mean "as rated by critics."
 
 Popularity doesn't rate a band, the media does.
