You are not. These guys are the most overrated band of all time.

No one is making anyone buy their music or go to their shows, so to imply both fans and casual listeners are so easily influenced by this “rating system” seems somewhat condescending. If you don't like them as much as other people do or don’t like them at all that’s perfectly fine, totally respect that.
As always to each their own, but it’s hard to dismiss the overall body of work these guys have put on the table, and the way they interact with their fans. Check out W.A.S.T.E. or Ateaseweb.com. This is a highly organized collaborative community so I’m not surprised when people make a big deal about seeing them live. The media hype might be annoying but that’s not a reflection on the millions that appreciate what this band is all about.

Totally legitimate points, and I apologize for my comment. That's the beauty of music, you can like and dislike any of it. I agree that ratings systems are condescending if it influences how people perceive a band or artist. If the listener likes it then its good to that listener and that's all that should matter.
