Top 10 Things That Are Really Good But Also Ludicrously Overrated

The Top Ten
1 The Beatles

Over rated how? Is anybody seriously saying they are not the top rock-genre music artists of all time?
Of course they are not everyone's favorite, and nothing can be proven to be the best in any artistic field.
Total sales, chart performance, enduring popularity, and influence in the worlds of music, culture, and the overall social fabric, no other musicians are close.
Nothing says you have to like them at all, and if you prefer metal, rap or whatever that's fine too, but just because you like some other act or genre better does not diminish their achievements.

I'm not sure many people on here actually know what overrated means, because they keep using success and popularity as an argument against overratedness. Let me help everyone out here. Overrate: to rate, value, or estimate too highly. People who dislike something popular will think that it's overrated the more popular it is, so trying to use that to help your case does nothing and implying that success defines how good something is is a fallacy.

This being said, I think The Beatles are stupidly overrated. Top rock band of all time? Yeah, right, not even close.

Yes, that's true. Some of them can be incredibly toxic, and some even send people who don't like the band, death threats. First of all, it's just an opinion. Secondly, it's illegal to do stuff like that.

Although I have them under the list of things I love on my profile I have to admit they're somewhat overrated. It's because some fans are absolutely insane! Especially the fans from their time.

Michael Jackson is never overrated

4 Dragon Ball Dragon Ball is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. It made anime popular in America and is based on the manga of the same name by Akira Toriyama. It was dubbed in English on Cartoon Networks Toonami block and still has many fans today.

Overrated is not how I would describe DBZ.

This is so true. #Overrated

5 Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Gurren Lagann, known in Japan as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, is an anime series animated by Gainax and co-produced by Aniplex and Konami. It was also directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by veteran playwright Kazuki Nakashima.

There's much better mecha anime than it in my opinion.

6 Toadette Toadette is a character in the Mario series. She is a female Toad who first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube video game Mario Kart: Double Dash.
7 The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
8 One-X - Three Days Grace

This album is still really good, but it's not my favourite from them. (12/24/2021)

9 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.

The band was comprised of Kurt Cobain (Vocals, Guitar), Dave Grohl (Drums) and Krist Novoselic (Bass). ...read more.

Yes, they are overrated - they aren't even the best grunge band, and Kurt is a good singer but not the best grunge singer (Chris Cornell and Layne Staley are way better).
I think Nirvana became the most popular band among the grunge bands because their songs are not very complex (compared to the other grunge bands) and more people can relate to Nirvana songs. Nirvana is the pop/mainstream version of grunge. Their musicianship is average, nothing exceptional - unlike Alice In Chains and Soundgarden.

Great band, but no where near the best. Not even the best grunge band in my book. They have a few impressive songs, but some are so bad they're insulting.

Nirvana's definitely overrated and to be honest I kinda like Alice in Chains more.

Don't get me even started on the fanbase. And half of Nevermind is very bad.

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.

I'm seriously glad I'm British. Most Americans are useless.

How can a place be overrated?

17 Toy Story 3

This movie came out when I was 7, but I appreciate it far more now than I ever did as a kid. I don't agree that it's better than Toy Story 2 though. (12/24/2021)

19 Steven Universe Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show's based around a young boy by the name of Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.

I Agree This Show Is VERY Overrated. It's Not A Bad Show, But I Just Can't Stand The Fanbase.

Everyone ever: I Like The Show, But Hate The Fanbase

I love the show, but the fanbase SUCKS big time

25 Dogs The dog or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf, and is characterized by an upturning tail. The dog is derived from an ancient, extinct wolf, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated, by hunter–gatherers over 15,000 years ago, before the development of agriculture. Due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids. ...read more.
