Re: Nobody is unanimous, doesn't matter the real genius the the person was, there is always people who call "overrated"

The word overrated is itself overrated. It is used today way too much to discredit any band or song or album without having to give a proper explanation as to why they think they are not worthy of praise. For example, Eagles' reputation built by years of popular and critical acclaim really took a d...
