In your opinion, who is the most overrated singer/band/artist in modern music history and why?

On the brighter side for lingerie lovers, Madonna got the whole “singing in our undies” thing going.

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?

What are the differences between fuzzy, intuitionistic, and paraconsistent logic? Which one is considered the most useful and why?

THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY

Is BPD real or just an excuse?

Nicki Minaj

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,

Sex Pistols

At what stage in your life did you realize, "No, I can't do this any more" and walk out? Why?

Poison

Dr. Dre

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.

Why do I have the impression that almost all questions about advertising the flat Earth theory come from people who don't believe in a flat Earth themselves and are just provoking?

Ed Sheeran

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.

Wu-Tang Clan

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

Yoko Ono

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.

Drake

What are some great short jokes?

JAY-Z

Ariana Grande has an amazing vocal range but her songs haven’t wowed me. I do like “Bang Bang” and “The Way.”

Rihanna has had good songs such as “Stay,” “Diamonds,” "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris, and "Love the Way You Lie" with Eminem.

How do I know if he loves me? When he wants me to be his gf he make time for me and send me morning and night messages and done everything to melt my heart. Now I am his gf and he don't treat me that way now.

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

Why did you choose not to join Mensa?

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!

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!

KISS is #9 on the Hated Band Index and the #10 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.

Usher

Insane Clown Posse

Jennifer Lopez

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

Miley Cyrus

Rebecca Black

Garth Brooks did have good songs like “Shameless” and “The Thunder Rolls.”

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.

Imagine Dragons

Skrillex

Pearl Jam is #17 on the Hated Band Index and the #7 worst band according to LA Weekly.

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.

Grateful Dead

And to make it a perfect menage a trois, there is Beyonce…

Jenny McCarthy

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.”

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…

Kendrick Lamar

NSYNC

Milli Vanilli

Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.

Spin Doctors are #20 on the Hated Band Index and also the #20 worst band according to LA Weekly.
