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

Chris Brown

Milli Vanilli

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.”

Why is Elon Musk so ugly?

Wu-Tang Clan

Yoko Ono

Megan Fox

I see ugly guys dating gorgeous, "hot" women all the time. I, too, am not very attractive but I'm not doing well with the ladies. What's their secret?

Wilco

One Direction

Kid Rock

Which is a better option, a love marriage or an arranged marriage in India?

Maroon 5 and Adam Levine

My Chemical Romance

Is The Last of Us Part 2 really as woke as people say it is?

Lou Reed

Britney Spears

Skrillex

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

Kings of Leon

Weezer

BTS

Jonas Brothers

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

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

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

Barry Manilow

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 gun lovers think their right to own a weapon supercedes everyone else's right to be safe and not be shot?

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

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?

—— which songs do certain kuorans remind you of?

Linkin Park

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,

50 Cent

Do older women know what they want?

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

Dr. Dre

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.”

Jennifer Lopez

Kesha aka Ke$ha

Kendrick Lamar

THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY

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.

Tiny Tim

Justin Timberlake

Usher

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!

Piet Mondrian

NSYNC

Nirvana is #19 on the Hated Band Index.

Nick Cannon

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

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

Insane Clown Posse

Tool

Billie Eilish

Ed Sheeran

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.

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.

JAY-Z

Grateful Dead

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…

Lil Wayne

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

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.

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.

Jenny McCarthy

Rush is #18 on the Hated Band Index.

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.

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

Drake

Sex Pistols

LL Cool J

Roseanne Barr

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

Katy Perry

Black Eyed Peas

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

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.

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

The Doors are #13 on the Hated Band Index.

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