I also believe they are not/were not over-rated. That said, it'd be very easy to argue otherwise; they were quite simply a band that was greater than the sum of its parts. Just something about their music...it isn't pretentious, it's sincere and genuine, what you see (or hear) is what you get, and somehow that equates to something so much more...take for example the recently released song You Know You're Right; every time I hear it I get chills, Kurt's voice is just so powerful, I dunno...
The Foo Fighters are shit in comparison; Grohl, while talented, sickens me. He just seems to try way to hard to be a frontman. Although their music is enjoyable, it's pretty one dimensional, it's the musical equivalent to a "popcorn action flick".
