One of the most overrated bands ever. I don't understand why they're so popular to be honest.

What?! Why are they are on here? Get this off!

They're booring and really should look at themselves. - Bboymakinwitthefrekfreak

Actually they're not a rock band. They're an electronic group. But I still think they should stop making music.

They were actually good until they became sellouts. - nintendofan126

They had one good album... - Bboymakinwitthefrekfreak

Pathetic, whiny wanabee rappers. Never anything difficult or impressive to rap at all. Nothing many people couldn't rap without coming close to losing breath or clarity or good delivery. Also an annoying sounding singer

A7X and BB shouldn't be here. Just because they're "overrated" doesn't mean they shouldn't make music. They make good music that they earned recognition for it and that is what they deserve. Not this list

9 Breaking Benjamin Breaking Benjamin Breaking Benjamin is a American post-grunge/alternative metal band formed in 1998. The bands members all changed in the time between 2010 to 2014, with the exception of Ben Burnley (Vocals).

Come on! One of the very, very slim few rock bands whose lead singer has an actually beautiful voice. And it's still powerful. Many of their songs are so emotional, which is refreshing compared to everything about sex and drugs.

10 Metallica Metallica Metallica is an American Thrash Metal band formed in 1981 . The original lineup was James Hetfield (Vocalist and Rhythm guitarist), Dave Mustaine (Lead Guitar), Lars Ulrich (Drums), Ron McGovney (Bassist).

They are a disgrace to the metal genre. From what they were and now what they are now. Metallica is the most overrated EVER. There is no argument. I hope death comes to the name Metallica. I have no remorse for them. As they would say Kill Em' All!

Stop ruining your reputation, Metallica.

Hardwired...To self destruct might be only mediocore or maybe not. - Fretto

I used to love them growing up, but they haven't released anything good in a long time - ryanrimmel

@jeffrey I did listen to their new albums and I'm not impressed. After One-X they went downhill. I moved on to more original music - ryanrimmel
