Michael Jackson wrote 3 of the 11 tracks.
Quincy Jones wrote the rest.

You folks can label Sgt. Pepper, The Wall, Purple Rain, and Thriller as overrated if you wish, but these albums were very popular and sold a lot of copies, so it depends on who is doing the rating.

Which is pretty much a pre-condition for them being candidates for the most overrated album of all time.....

everything is subjective its an opinion, for me pepper never lived up to its hype, nothing the beatles did ever spoke to me like the stones or kinks but hey that's just me.

@badradger

all bad suggestions so far

how about "Hysteria" by Def Leppard?

So did Barbara Cartland and Mantovani.

I'm a real big Beatles fan but thinking about the bands and their albums that I listened to I have to agree with you. The Pepper myth was built on hype.

Nowhere to go but down after Pyromania, really.

For me Loveless by My Bloody Valentine is an incredibly overrated and, frankly, terrible album.

Anything by Coldplay.
