Mine is very general, because I have a cynical outlook on music today. But for me, most modern music is overhyped. Fall Out Boy, as was on your list, is just one of plenty of examples in the mainstream.
As for your original list, a few of the bands you named are considered so great because of the influence, and not necessarily the play. Deep Purple's an example, in that they really inspired A LOT of metal in the late 70s and early 80s. The Stones inspired what followed them, and Jimi Hendrix inspired so many guitarists to really put their heart and soul into their instrument.
I guess if I had to make a list from what I do listen to, it would be:
1. Metallica, although I listen to them a lot. They're fairly overrated, but I give them credit.
2. Led Zeppelin, but specifically Led Zeppelin IV. The album with Stairway. It's a great album from top to bottom. Just overplayed, and therefore overappreciated.
3. Nirvana. Just don't see what people like about them.
4. The Beatles. Same as Nirvana, although I probably just haven't given them enough of a shot..
I listen to both of those.. a lot. I guess with a lot of bands, their music is enjoyed by A LOT of people. So I guess you can just expect a lot of hype about them!
