2. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys
3. Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail To The Thief and In Rainbows by Radiohead (all their music is great so I just listed the ones made since 2000)
4. Mothership by Led Zeppelin (only if we can count "best ofs" of bands from pre-2000)

Is it just me or are the Kings of Leon not the most overrated band of the year? The lead singer sounds odd.

With some marked exceptions, the past 10 years in music have been kinda terrible.
Kings of Leon are no exception.

Every decade has it's fair share of good and bad music. The 00's are no different to any other decade. And personal opinion comes into it as well. Some people love the 00's music others don't. Each person feels differently.
