Justin Bieber is a good-looking guy who can carry a tune. Does that make him a megastar?
THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY
Piet Mondrian
Metallica is #14 on the Hated Band Index and the #6 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.
Phish is #7 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 worst band according to LA Weekly.
These are artists sometimes called “overrated” for whom I do NOT agree: AC/DC, Aerosmith, Gary Barlow, Bon Jovi, Kurt Cobain, Celine Dion (I’m not crazy about all her songs but what an amazing voice!), Doors, Eminem, Jackie Evancho, Guns N' Roses, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Outkast, Steve Perry, Pink aka P!nk, Elvis Presley (in his better songs like “That’s All Right,” “Peace in the Valley,” “American Trilogy” and his amazing covers of “Blue Moon” and “Fever”), Prince, Queen, Rolling Stones, Axl Rose, U2, Neil Young
Rihanna has had good songs such as “Stay,” “Diamonds,” "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris, and "Love the Way You Lie" with Eminem.
Kendrick Lamar
Chris Brown
Is the Shia claim true that Imam Ali was born inside the Kaaba?
JAY-Z

Garth Brooks did have good songs like “Shameless” and “The Thunder Rolls.”
Kesha aka Ke$ha
How do you recognize when your mental health might need attention?
Creed is the #3 most-hated band of all time on the Hated Band Index and the #4 worst band of all time according to Ultimate Guitar.
Grateful Dead
Maroon 5 and Adam Levine
I’m a longtime music lover and I’m very liberal, loving the best hard rock, soft rock, pop, blues, R&B, soul, jazz, country, folk, classical and opera. I’m not a huge fan of rap, but I do have favorite rap songs as well. However there are singers, bands and other musical artists who seem overrated to me…
Barry Manilow
Billy Ray Cyrus
What's your favourite porn video to jerk off to?
Roseanne Barr
Pearl Jam is #17 on the Hated Band Index and the #7 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Lady Gaga produced great songs like “Paparazzi,” “Poker Face,” “Bad Romance” and “Shallow.” But, as with Madonna, it often seems more about the spectacle than the music.
Kid Rock
Ariana Grande has an amazing vocal range but her songs haven’t wowed me. I do like “Bang Bang” and “The Way.”
NSYNC
Green Day is #12 on the Hated Band Index and the #13 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar. They are also the #2 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Miley Cyrus
Kings of Leon
Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking - Ars Technica
Kanye West is best known for dissing Taylor Swift, no?
Lou Reed
Dr. Dre
What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?
Lil Wayne
I have a number of rappers in my “overrated” list. It’s not that I discriminate against the genre. My favorite rap acts include Tupac Shakur, Arrested Development, Public Enemy, Eminem, Nas and Outkast. But I’m a lyric man and I often find rap lyrics to be high on rhythm and rhyme but not all that compelling otherwise.
On the brighter side for lingerie lovers, Madonna got the whole “singing in our undies” thing going.
What would happen if Kakashi and Naruto switched places?
Rush is #18 on the Hated Band Index.
Korn is #15 on the Hated Band Index and the #20 most overrated artists according to Ranker.
Imagine Dragons
Poison
Wu-Tang Clan
50 Cent
What does it feel like to "lose your looks" to age?
Skrillex
Barry Manilow heads my lists of concerts I’m not going to attend, and while I love some of his songs I’m not going to sit through a concert of Bob Dylan singing in that nasal monotone of his. Other concerts I’m not going to be attending include those of KISS, Maroon 5,
Yoko Ono
One Direction
Beastie Boys
The Doors are #13 on the Hated Band Index.
Tool
Tiny Tim
Ed Sheeran
Jenny McCarthy
Megan Fox
Nirvana is #19 on the Hated Band Index.
Jennifer Lopez
Madonna put out some great songs like “This Used to Be My Playground,” “Ray of Light,” “Justify My Love,” “Express Yourself,” “Like a Virgin,” “Like a Prayer” and “Papa Don’t Preach.” But somehow it became more about the spectacle than the music.
BTS

K.C. and the Sunshine Band don’t just play the same three chords over and over again, they sing the same three or four words over and over and over again.
And to make it a perfect menage a trois, there is Beyonce…
Nickelback is the most hated band of all time, with a near-perfect 99.99 score on the Hated Band Index, and is also the #1 worst band of all time according to Ultimate Guitar. David Grohl said that if you play a Nickelback song backwards, you’ll hear the Devil, but if you play it forwards, even worse, you’ll hear Nickelback!
Usher
Jefferson Airplane aka Jefferson Starship aka Starship had some good songs like “White Rabbit” and “Somebody to Love” but got pop-fizzy with songs like the unlistenable “We Built this City.”
U2 is #4 on the Hated Band Index and the #7 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar. But I like a good number of their songs and disagree here.

Mumford & Sons is the #5 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 most overrated artists according to Ranker.
Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.

Taylor Swift is drop-dead gorgeous and I do like some of her songs, but still… how good can you be when you have to sing in your undies?
Wilco
Spin Doctors are #20 on the Hated Band Index and also the #20 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Mariah Carey has a great voice and and amazing vocal range. I like a number of her songs but none have made my all-time playlist.
Bob Dylan is overrated as a vocalist, if anyone rates him as such, but he has written many good and great songs. Dylan said he’s more of a poet than a musician, and I agree. Dylan is the #6 most-hated band of all time on the Hated Band Index and he’s not even a band!
Cardi B
Justin Timberlake
The Osmonds
Katy Perry
Nicki Minaj
LL Cool J
Drake
KISS is #9 on the Hated Band Index and the #10 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.
Vanilla Ice

Coldplay has had good songs like “Fix You,” “Viva La Vida,” “Clocks” and “Yellow” but they do seem overrated overall. Coldplay is #11 on the Hated Band Index and the #12 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.
The early Beatles were overrated for pop-fizzy songs like “Love Me Do,” “Please Please Me,” “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
Jonas Brothers

Nick Cannon
Weezer
