The website NewArena.com rated the 25 most overrated bands of all time.

Each band they rank they also include a little reason why they've landed that spot on the list. The list starts out with bands like Imagine Dragons and Maroon 5 citing their lack of diversity in terms of sound.

The top three bands they are calling overrated:  Guns N' Roses . . . Motley Crue . . . and The Doors.

With bands like Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Radiohead taking up a slot as well. See the full list at the link below.

A number of days in rock history were marked by the release of classic albums that came out on the same day.

Examples of this span a number of decades. In the 1960s, The Beatles were involved in two of these instances with The Kinks and David Bowie. The 1970s saw The Rolling Stones release an album on the same day as the Ramones said "Gabba Gabba Hey!" to the world. In the 1980s, heavy metal icons Judas Priest released a classic album on the same day Iron Maiden dropped their debut. As for the 1990s, you'll be shocked to learn just how many times classic LPs were released on the same day. By "classic LPs," we mean some of the great albums of all time.

Here are 20 times multiple classic albums came out on the same day.
