How are they 'overrated'? People just use that term when they dislike an artist who happens to be popular with critics. Also, Girls Aloud are a pop band, so why compare them to other artists who are nothing like them? I think it's just snobbery by people who think they aren't 'credible' just because they are a manufactured pop group, ignoring the actual music.
I'm not saying everyone should love Biology, but if GA happened to write and produce their own songs, the 'real music' lovers would love them. Yet if someone dared to criticise any of the 'credible' artists such as the ones you mentioned, we'd probably get shouted down as an idiot who knows nothing about music.
Oh and big thumbs-up for stereotyping GA fans. Well done you.
That whole arguement would be a lot more worth if you hadnt completely ignored what id said in the first place. I love pop music - love it! I dont understand the appeal of GA at all and never have, its got nothing to do with my tastes or being credible, so dont utter such tosh in future.
Saying that, lets not pretend that GA can compare to any of the artists I mentioned. Theres a reason why some artists are influencial and some are left to the discos and gaybars. Its not stereotyping, its being honest about their market. I hear GA all the time in gay bars and clothing shops but never anywhere else.

Van Halen - Eruption (Birth of the modern metal guitar sound)
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (In all probability, the first true heavy-metal song ever recorded)
Queen - Stone Cold Crazy (The blueprint for thrash metal)
Eminem - Stan (Lyrically masterful storytelling)
I love them (and I'm only 20 but I was introduced to them when I was 6 and was hooked after that!)
Only the best :cool:

One from the 70s is Alan Price with Jarrow Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlMjSESoz9A
