There are some songs that come to mind but I think you can not ride (yet) a top 10songs overestimated. Here are:
Any music from Emerson, Lake and Palmer - this is a group that I'll never enjoy, for me arethe worst band of progressive rock from the dinosaurs anso 70. "Tarkus"? For God's sake, this is not a song! It is a waste!
-Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd) - I can not understand what people see in this song is one of the most drawn from history;
-Thick Is A Brick (Jethro Tull) - This - is a good song, but not enough for the album wasranked second best in the prog rock, in my opinion;
Several songs from Gentle Giant
-A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers - Van der Graaf Generator
-Moonchild (King Crimson) - this song is not overemphasized, it is controversial, the"love - hate it or - the"

I very much agree, it's a phenomenal album.
I also disagree with CTTE being overrated, that's crazy to me. It's one of their finest pieces of work.

He produced some of the finest pop songs of all time during a very short career (and also found time to produce a slew of incoherent garbage) - If that's what you mean?

I think it's the case of "those who know his work, rate it highly."

I think CTTE is a bit over rated in the YES spectre
It's a very interesting song and has lots of concepts to offer, but I don't feel its yes at their best.

If I were to just talk about this community in particular, Wish You Were Here is a pretty over-rated album. Also Red by King Crimson.

I think we have some trolling going on here!
I mean fancy being critical of Echoes, Shine on, Suppers ready, CTTE - but Moonchild I agree with, definite waste of space!

The most known songs by most prog bands that have had a bit of mainstream popularity tend to be insanely overrated.

Never quite understood the term overrated, the way its used at PA, take some of the best music ever made, and look for the least great, of the greatness.
If you want to talk about bad music, why not thoose something very bad. Like Bony M or something.
Or Jackson....Im Bad, Im Bad.....O yes, You are ! He even admits.

um to be honest I think Mirage is probably the most overrated album on this site, and I'm not too fond of Camel's other stuff either...
Idk PT and DT are a bit overrated in my opinion, but I still sorta enjoy some stuff.
Marillion is a controversial band on its own so I don't know if they're overrated but they are certainly not my fave.

Plague of lhk |
Gotta throw my lot in with this one. I've always felt Plague only goes so far before it ends up collapsing under it's own weight. It just gets bogged down somewhere around the 13-15min mark and never quite recovers. Not to mention the fact that most of the transitions are just awful. In my review of Pawn Hearts I felt that this song is what kept the album from being five stars. Despite this, I see it being called one of prog's greatest epics or even one of prog's greatest songs. Never saw the appeal, on either a subjective or objective level, and so I can't help but call it overrated.
