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

Imagine Dragons

Tool

Kings of Leon

Democrat voters, why are you so naive, easy to manipulate, can't see a liar standing right in front of you and why won't you research your party? You will find they have a plan for all W. Nations and it's evil.

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

Jenny McCarthy

Milli Vanilli

My cantankerous beagle is very badly behaved at the dog park and always starts barking at the other dogs. Would pepper spray be an effective method to correct his inappropriate behavior?

Justin Bieber is a good-looking guy who can carry a tune. Does that make him a megastar?

50 Cent

THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY

Answer me this. These days guys love anal sex right, if you present them with your ass they will happily nail you into the ground. So why do some guys think it's "sissy" to let women stick a finger up their ass?

Rebecca Black

JAY-Z

Rush is #18 on the Hated Band Index.

In what ways is Bollywood becoming westernized?

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.

Sex Pistols

How do we greet in German, French, Spanish, and Italian?

Why is the First Amendment referred to as a right to free speech instead of an immunity from punishment for one's words, regardless of their truthfulness?

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

What are some good Caribbean islands to travel to with friends or family? Why?

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.

Nicki Minaj

Kesha aka Ke$ha

Why do liberals and Democrats think it’s “ironic” for Donald Trump to say “We have to get back to law and order”?

Kanye West is best known for dissing Taylor Swift, no?

Justin Timberlake

Vanilla Ice

LL Cool J

My Chemical Romance

Nick Cannon

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…

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

The Osmonds

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.

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.

Metallica is #14 on the Hated Band Index and the #6 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.

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.

Usher

Piet Mondrian

Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.

Lou Reed

Dr. Dre

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

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.”

Drake

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

Jennifer Lopez

Lil Wayne

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,

Korn is #15 on the Hated Band Index and the #20 most overrated artists according to Ranker.

#ART #MUSIC #POP #ROCK #MRBART #MRBMUSIC #MRBPOP #MRBROCK

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!

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.

Kendrick Lamar

Wu-Tang Clan

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.”

Kid Rock

Skrillex

Weezer

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

Yoko Ono

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.

Chris Brown

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

Grateful Dead

Insane Clown Posse

Linkin Park

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

Black Eyed Peas

NSYNC

Billie Eilish

BTS

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

The Dave Matthews Band is #10 on the Hated Band Index and the #1 worst band according to LA Weekly. They made it a clean sweep by being the #16 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar and the #22 overrated artists according to Ranker.

Billy Ray Cyrus

Tiny Tim

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

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!

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?

Maroon 5 and Adam Levine

Britney Spears

Limp Bizkit is the second most-hated band of all time, with a 96.79 score on the Hated Band Index, and is also the #2 worst band of all time according to Ultimate Guitar.

Megan Fox

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.

Beastie Boys

Barry Manilow

One Direction

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

Cardi B
