Nah. The Doors are very clearly frontrunners for the title.
but the Velvets were ace.
much as I hate them I think they're more bewilderingly popular than overrated, cos everyone hates them don't they?
The Clash I like but they are getting more overrated by the year, the myth of the Clash is really getting on my nerves these days.

Actually, in my opinion they were really fucking dull. Nothing to do with been contrary.

I'd go with The Strokes, if we're talking recent years. One song, and not a very good one.
And The Doors, for all time. Very poor.

Another vote for The Beach Boys.
Radiohead
Led Zeppelin
Not that I think any of the above are shite, I just can't understand why anyone would get wildly enthusiastic about them.

VU ? yer so wrong it's snot even worth arguing about, they may have been inept but they sowed the seeds for so many great things.
Of recent years i'd go with Oasis, they've had their moments, made some good tunes but the over exposure is painful to be hold.,

How? Honest question. I never heard a VU influence in any band. They're unique. But they're shit. Apart from Venus In Furs.

Orang Utan

Yes, but I don't think any of those bands sound like VU (apart from the Modern Lovers, cos I only know one of their songs)
Orang Utan

i don't know that song. 
Everytime I've tried to listen to them, I've given up two or three songs in.

Yeah, Velvets have been hugely influential, but i prefer the bands influenced by them. Well some of them. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't like Suicide or Modern Lovers or much J&AMC. I quite liked Felt though. All the Velvets stuff just bores me. There's just something really dead sounding about it all. It just sounds kind of take-it-or-leave-it. Occasionally I'll hear some Velvet Underground that I almost like, but it just makes me want to go and put on Beggars Banquet or the Performance soundtrack.
Plus I can't stand Lou Reed.
I have a similar thing with Black Sabbath. I love loads of bands whose lodestone is Sabbath. But I don't love Sabbath.
