They're ridiculous! Their songs may be good for a while but they go over the edge when their fangirls take on!

One direction is quality music people

Not a band and never will be

2 Little Mix Little Mix are a British girl group formed in 2011, consisting of members Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson.

They're okay. Better than the spice girls at least. People say they're underrated because they aren't known from outside their hometown. don't they tour or something? Their songs are on the fm all the time especially hair and some other one. They have good voices, better than that kpop stuff

3 Fifth Harmony

Don't write their own music, have crass lyrics that wouldn't be too out of place in a bad Carry On film & their music is banal pop with no flavour. The worst group currently out there, simply because they are emblematic of everything wrong with pop music these days.

I heard that one of the members was arrested for taking drugs.

4 Blood on the Dance Floor Blood on the Dance Floor was an American electronic music group from Orlando, Florida, originally consisting of Dahvie Vanity and several other members over time.

I can't even start on them...all I can say is that 2 of my friends practically worship them when they are absolutely undeserving

So overrated! the members are nice and genuinely funny but when it comes to music they're so...loud

And the award for most painfully unoriginal list goes to...

The Contenders
11 Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin was an English hard rock band formed in London in 1968 as the New Yardbirds. The group consisted of Robert Plant (Vocal), Jimmy Page (Guitar), John Paul Jones (Bass, Keyboard) and John Bonham (Drums) and was very much the child of Jimmy Page who even financed their first tour. He had tasted some previous success with The [original] Yardbirds and was friendly with some big names in rock. Page states it was Keith Moon of The Who that claimed the band could only go down, like a lead balloon -- thus prompting the iconic name of Led Zeppelin. The band's heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors ...read more.

Come on. I admit they're overrated. But bad, no. Yes. they've ripped off some songs. But there are some songs which aren't ripped off. You can call them overrated but not bad. Their songs never bored you (if you liked them). And you suddenly become a hater of LZ when you heard they ripped off some songs. so the songs you used to listen weren't worthy? The time when you used to enjoy their songs are all in vain?

Boring unoriginal band that always ripoff songs. Worst band ever.

12 Nirvana Nirvana was an American grunge band that was formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Nirvana disbanded after Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. The drummer of the band, David Grohl, went on to start the Foo-Fighters, an alternative rock band.

Agree with Undistinguished, I always said they are overrated. But they aren't talentless.

I understand their music isn't to everyone's tastes, but they are far from bad.

Overrated but NOT bad

We aren't talking about Billie Joe Armstrong. Green Day isn't only Billie Joe Armstrong. Remember Tre Cool is also a member of the band. And he isn't bad.

Billie Joe Armstrong IS American Idiot. The irony of his own stupidity completely escapes him.

Bad? how? Billie Joe Armstrong is not a good guitarist. That's why he is overrated. But Tre cool is hell of a drummer.

Honestly, I think Green Day's kinda underrate. At least albums like 21st Century Breakdown and Insomniac are

Neither category can be applied to them. Their music is fantastic, let alone good, as well as being good enough to not be overrated. Not to mention their influence on the metal scene means that their impact is undeniable, and therefore not overrated.

Useless hacks. A disgrace to metal music.

Lmao I don't even listen to bands like these, I only wear their shirts cuh they look good

Really?! AC/DC?! I'm not into rock of any kind but my mum loves this band. She used to keep switching on songs from this band while driving (the car has a stereo) and I actually kind of enjoyed the music. I would say that this is definitely not bad, but I'm not sure whether it's overrated or not.

Overrated? Yes. Bad? Hell no. Some opinions might differ though.
