I think all those bands deserve their success. Being massively popular means that your music resonates with a lot of people which to me is mission accomplished. However, rather than overrated I would say some bands have achieved a higher degree of greatness due consistent quality in their discography than others. First of all Kiss overall discography really isn't that great. They have some really good songs but they are largely surrounded by weak material stretching decades. AC/DC is a legendary band but the reality is that everything after Back in Black is basically sonically the same. It's like they took a great song and made several decades of albums out of that one great song stretching it too far. To me that doesn't change how great they were in the Scott years and early Johnson and more that the 2nd half of their career was pretty meh.
