What are some groups that you think get much more respect than they deserve, or don't understand why so many people are obsessed with them? I'll start off with a few I've been hearing a lot lately and don't understand why they're so popular.

AC/DC
Rolling Stones
Rush
Dave Matthews Band
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Motley Crue
 
Lady gaga and pretty much anything thats popular right now.
 
I don't get dmb, the songs are ok but vocals are terrible. Motley Crue were the kings of hair metal and the embodiment of sex, drugs and rock n roll. People who grew up in the 80s are too old to party like they did when the crue was big but young enough to still connect with their younger days which is why they are popular. Early ac/dc with Bon Scott and the stones are the pillars of blues inspired rock. Rush and Skynyrd are text book tradional rock and roll bands. If you can't appreciate ac/dc, the stones, rush, and skynyrd you probably don't like their genre.

Personally I don't get the Beatles, before Bob Dylan fixed them all they did was cheeky bubble gum pop songs. I can see why 14 year old girls were into them in the 60s but I am at a lost as to why young men today are enamored with them.

Now a days I listen mostly to artists that have been a while. I do not have the time and energy to find good musicians and the industry has no interest in marketing musicians anymore, just performers.
 
Must be a age gap thing.

its you. trust me the music is great, your taste isnt
 
KISS . no talent when it comes to music in my opinion. They just have the whole merch thing and catchy gimic. When you actually break it down and listen to the music, there is nothing there.
 
Kiss, beatles and foo fighters. Why are they popular? They suck out loud.
 
Foo Fighters are the ONLY legitimate rock band that is around right now. I wasnt around, but The Beatles have so many classics I cant agree.

I personally think Nirvana is overrated. They have some great songs, and helped create a new genre, but the only reason they are so popular is because Cobain died.

I dont think linkin park is overrated. They just released a lot of good music, and some real bad music.
