It's one of the most pondered questions in music, but most people seem to be afraid to ask it: Who is the most overrated band in history?

Not to shy away from a little experiment, Gigwise decided to ask that very question to our Twitter followers recently, and the results were more than a little interesting.

Allowing people to nominate either bands or artists, and say why they didn't like them, the names that came back included some of the biggest musicians in history. You can see our twenty favourite – from the funniest to the most bizarre – in our round-up below now.

If there are any you think should be included, or indeed disagree with, then please leave your suggestions in the comment form below. And don't forget to follow Gigwise on Twitter.

  • U2 are really overrated. I'm glad to see someone chose them, especially if they want to record a "club album"!!! Who do they think they are, David Morales?
