And also I have met a lot of people who only know Metallica from what they did on their St. Anger album, yet they call them the best band ever, therefore in a sense overrating them. In my opinion they are influential for sure, but they get enough credit.

And that makes them overrated how?
Metallica are NOT overrated in any way shape or form. Would you like to go into the tangible things that we can actually measure like record sales, concert sales and the like? Or would you like to see how many bands themselves list Metallica *you know..their peers* as the best or a huge influence? And I really can't believe that most of your friends that know Metallica only know the St Anger album... That album was sub-par to be kind. They would really love Metallica if they heard their entire library.
