I think you have only to look at some of Ansel Adams work (think Snake River in the Tetons, Yosemite Valley in winter 1942, and the shot Monolith, face of Halfdome 1927). to realize that overcast and cloudy skies can be absolutely incredible.
I would strongly disagree with the author who you read that stated that you shouldn't shoot landscape on overcast days. It can make for a challenging composition and exposure, but can produce magical results.
