they may have been a good band, but they dont deserve the level of godliness they seem to have got.

Similarly, I'd need to nominate oxygen, as I've got enough of it. What are those people asphyxiating going on about? Oxygen's not so great!!!!
Less sarcastically, I'd need to go with T&F's "the state".
Deepflow is wrong when it comes to Nirvana. U2 are more overrated anyway.
But you're right about cocaine. Overpriced crap imho.

Re: Most overrated thing ever
There are lots of bands elevated to godhood without actually being any good at all, which to me suggests a greater degree of over-ratedness...

Nirvana was a decent band and they had an incredible influence over the music scene. However, Kurt Cobain is not God.

Apparantly, he's Jesus with bleached hair and half a beard.
It was mentioned in the About A Boy novel.
As for Nirvana, they're just as overrated as GnR. Don't get me wrong, they're both great & legends but way too overrated.

Re: Most overrated thing ever
Nirvana and Kurt Cobain especially seem to have far too much reverence these days. The overratedness i was talking about though is mainly evident in 12-16 year old 'grunger' kids who go around wearing nirvana hoodies and saying when he died it affected their lives massively even though they were 5.

I had that same discution with someone the other day!!

Re: Most overrated thing ever
I think I'm going to go with the head of the Commission for Racial Equality and say "multiculturalism".
Either that or "birthdays". They tend to be a disappointment, when you realise every time one comes around that being a year older doesn't actually make you feel any different. Plus the presents are usually much worse than at Christmas.

i did view it more as something i really really wanted to get out of the way than a fantastic experience in itself.

Re: Most overrated thing ever
theres a case for nominating the overuse of the word, as in the way america does in its foreign policy.
however nominating freedom itself is rather stupid.
