Hammer to fall.
Freddie was an incredible frontman, he carried an average band.

Easy listening for simpletons. Granted, Freddie was a showman, but like the majority of men with Arab genes, loved a bit of sausage and got what he deserved - Aids.

Its a well known fact that any CD left in a car for any length of time will inevitably metamorphose into Queens Greatest Hits

Fair enough stoneman, I hadn't realised Queen were the only band who write and perform their own stuff.
Apologies, apparently Bryan Adams does as well. Get your jean-jacket dusted off, he's about to do a world tour.

Music for fans of people who like music to be played by guys who not only write their own material but can play and sing live.

Spare me from the aural torture of the bombastic codswallop this mob used to churn out. I don't know anyone who has an active interest in music and own a wide variety of albums who have any time for the garbage of Queen. If they come on the radio I turn off immediately.
Can't help recalling the front page of the NME back in the 70's, where alongside a big photo of Mercury was the headline - IS THIS MAN A PRAT?

Yes, mate. It's just an opinion.

Surfy, all very good acts and I would place Queen not very far behind them
In my opinion of course

Actually, fair point, you asked for a definition of over-rated and I gave a facetious answer.
It seems to me that Queen are in the process of be elevated by the media to the pantheon of all-time pop/rock greats. I really don't think they belong up there with the Elvises, the Dylans, the Beatles, the Stones, the Smokies, etc. Add you own 15 more interesting acts in here.
I suspect strongly that the BBC, for instance, love them beyond all others because of the circumstances of Freddie's death.

I like this definition of overrated by Urban Dictionary:
overrated
A word which recently has been used liberally as a way of discrediting something without having to give a proper justification, most often when someone finds they have a disliking for a popular phenomenom and is resentful of those who embrace it. Often used by anti-trendies.

Surely all those sales and awards are evidence that they ARE over-rated?
I could probably name 20 more influential and enduringly popular acts off the top of my head and without pausing for breathe. From your previous posts I think you would agree with most of them.
I'm not saying Queen are rubbish, just a touch limited, and that the sheer scale of their success baffles me.

Your opinion of course but...
The band have released a total of 18 number one albums, 18 number one singles, and 10 number one DVDs. Estimates of their record sales generally range from 150 million to 300 million records, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. They received the Outstanding Contribution to British Music Award from the British Phonographic Industry in 1990, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
By any measure, that would put them in the definitely NOT overrated class
