a warm welcome, btw...

I don't like overrated threads so I'll abstain, but since the originator is Irish I'll suggest the most underrated band on the site - the brilliant Irish band Horslips!

I´ve always thought of progressive music as one of the most positive things in the world, and therefore I´ve never thought of any band or solo performer as bad or overrated. So how come everyday there´s a poll like this trying to discredit the bands most of us love?

Welcome to the forum, your sure picked a poll that would bring you some attention to start off with. 

I voted for Pink Floyd.  Like many prog bands, they had their strengths and weaknesses, but some of the stuff they have done is obscenely overrated or complete crap.

None, and why did you put Amon Duul II in that list? They don't get talked about a lot and are actually quite an underrated band compared to the others in your poll.

Ok, kill me, I voted for King Crimson, their debut was outstanding, Red also and I admit they made a lot of experiments, but I believe they sometimes went too far.

I love Crimson's experiments. But why is VDGG getting 8 votes for being
overrated?

I agree with you!

BTW, does Robert Fripp deliberately play out of tune?

No one.   Seminal bands never are overrated.

VDGG overrated?  IMHO, they are the most underrated band on the progressive rock history.

Hmm, nearly 200 votes for VdGG and King Crimson without any comments. Do I detect some multiple voting here?

Yeah, that poll is a sham, and a farce, and a charade...

And Camel is not even on the list!

I persoanlly think VDGG are over rated Iv heard some of their stuff including the infamous 'Plague of Light-House Keppers' and I thought this was the most awful, annoying, terrible load of trype Id ever heard, and people go on about this lot like they are something special? they are just aload of noise, and nonsense, absolute crap.

I know that may make me a number 1 enemy to all those VDGG fans on here but thats me on POV.

About 150 votes for King Crimson in the last couple of hours? Something dodgy going on here.
