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

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?

Skrillex
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.
The Osmonds
Miley Cyrus
Chris Brown
50 Cent
Piet Mondrian
Poison
Billy Ray Cyrus
Mumford & Sons is the #5 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 most overrated artists according to Ranker.
JAY-Z
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.

My Chemical Romance
Pearl Jam is #17 on the Hated Band Index and the #7 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Katy Perry
Spin Doctors are #20 on the Hated Band Index and also the #20 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Maroon 5 and Adam Levine
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!
Barry Manilow
Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.
Phish is #7 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Ariana Grande has an amazing vocal range but her songs haven’t wowed me. I do like “Bang Bang” and “The Way.”
NSYNC
Justin Bieber is a good-looking guy who can carry a tune. Does that make him a megastar?
Imagine Dragons
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,
