Most overrated 'Musical artists'

Who do you think are the most overrated singers/band/etc.
For me i think that:
1. Fantasia Borino (last American Idol winner) is wayy overrated. SHE SUCKED! I could compare her to those guys who do the islam prayre calls but I don't want to degrade them to her level.
2. Nirvana- Ok, they had some good songs, but for the most part, they sucked. And Curt Cobain was a BAD guitarist.
3. Neil Young- HATE HIM WITH A PASSION
4.Marylyn Manson- WHAT A FREAK! Black hair, black lipstick, black nail polish, black clothes, paper white face. Didn't we used to call that Halloween? He sucks. So does...
5. Rob Zombie- ok, I aint no metal fan, you can see that.
6. Eminem- A white rapper. Great.
7. Broadway- Anything on broadway I hate. almost.
8. Guns and Roses- They're not that good. They're ok but they are extremly overrated.
9. P. Daddy or Puff Diddy or whatever- I hate rap.
10. ODC or OBC or STD or whaever thatdead guy was- filth. simple filth.

Britney Spears easily.

Any Idol winners.

Ashlee Simpson

Linkin Park. Limp Bizkit wannabees.

57% of bands out there

Greatful dead and Elvis

Come on, Elvis is NOT overrated. he's a great vocalist. Some of his songs are overrated though.
Greatful dead are.

1: frank sinatra, he might have been good, but he isn't the best of the age
2: mozart or Beethoven, both good composers, but by no means the best of the best, listen to some bach or Strauss.
3: Linkin Park
4: eminem (my god is it just me or do half his songs sound exactly the same)
5: Any country music Star (really i don't see why anyone would like that music)
i can't think of anymore.

Elvis sucks the big one. There has never been a more overated singer in history in my opinon. He dont hold a candle to Sinatra or Dean Martin or even Paul Mc Cartney or John Lennon.

Any music that originated in the 80s or 90s... man things went downhill fast. :no:

I had high hopes with Guns and Roses.. but they dont hold a candle to anything from 66-76.

I am sure he thinks you are a freak as well. What is a freak anyway? A freak to you might be perfectly normal to somebody else, I really think you shoul refrain from lavishing such disgust onto people because they are diffeent. But then you might be showing your age.

As to overrated artists I think it has to be - apart from all the pop crap - the Stones. Don't really see their huge appeal outside of a couple of songs they were average imo.

Come on lighten up . Manson is a freak. Thats his bag. He has no problem with it in fact I would say he wants people to think of him that way. You really crack me up with this age thing . like you are a man of the world lol. Theres not much difference between your ages. Maybe I should hit you with that arguement more often kid.

Bye the way do you think Micael Jackson is a freak and do you think he will go to jail? It certainly dosent look good for him. Who better to defend him than you? ~D

Most overrated: Bruce Springsteen.
Runner-up: Elvis Costello.

Blasphemy! Springsteen is God.

Overrated:
1) All rappers/hiphoppers/R&B artists or whatever they're called.
2) Anybody who calls himself a 'pimp'.
3) The Rolling Stones, pretty average indeed.
4) Lenny Kravitz.
5) Maroon 5. Ok, so they're not big enough to be overrated. But I just don't like them.
6) The White Stripes.
7) Oasis.

Indeed, everything that is rap. I don't like people that like rap. I don't like the way that people that like rap talk.

Any Idol winners.

They are torturing people with that in Norway too?????

The horror.......the horror......

Yeah to other freaks, common!

Eminem without a doubt. His first album was ok, his second was pretty much the same (although i did like Stan) and i havn't heard any other albums but from the singles I wouldn't want to buy them.

Oh c'mon. Neil is real. He never sold out. He was there from the start and he's still doing his thing. Granted, Harvest Moon is a frightening song meant to be played while you're having your teeth drilled, but lots of Neil's stuff is fantastic.

Overrated...

Any and all rap "artists".
U2
Sting
Micheal Jackson. (I've got a $5 bet that he does time.)
Any and all rap "artists".

Jeezus Christ what's wrong with you? Are you serious? This has to be some kind of sick joke. Mozart and beethoven are in the top 5 best composers of all time. How could you diss them like this?

Well I think Guns and Roses, ACDC, and Metalica are hugely overated. I really hate 80's metal music though. Except maybe for Motley Crue.

I am not that big a fan of Mozart as well, his requiem being the exception. You know what is comming even when you have never heard it before, I think it is formulaistic(that a word??).

-any kind of rap
-any kind of premanufactured pop...britney...christina..all that crap
-marilyn manson - musically overrated...but the guy sure as hell is smart...imagine....posing as a "freak" can make you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
-any music coming from any "idol" type tv show
-U2
-Micheal Jackson....here´s more 5$ hoping he get´s some time ~D
-Rolling Stones
-the white stripes
-Oasis
-anyone that plays country.....what the hell is that about?



and last but not least.....


-The beatles......not a bad band...far from it....but people make them out to be a loooot better then they were....by far the most overrated band....ever...


*seeks cover for the objects that are bound to be hurled his way*

Bill and Ted after their "Excellent Adventure.' an entire civilization based on their music? they were ok, but not that great, and that adventure wasn't too excellent either.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, tied with Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton. Most overrated guitarist as well. His shabby guitar playing is a pain to the ear. ::wince::

While the Beatles IMO are overrated, I don't think they are the most overrated. They had a lot of great songs. My favorites being Nowhere Man and In My Life. ~:)

Led Zep and Quo, absolute dross

Your out of your mind. The Beatles made rock what it is today. There has been nothing new since their time. They re invented it. The pushed it to the limits and back again. Tell me one grop or solo artist who accomplished so much so fast. Every album was better than the one before it and the quit on top of the world. Just looking at their albums alone you can see the evolution of Rock. They were also the first to make the younger generation realise what power they had. No musicins in history have had so profound effect upon not only music but society in general.

I hate these threads

I completely agree. I can't beleave someone would question the beatles. All their songs are gold. Not a single miss. They were the first band band and they still are the best band ever to make music.

u guys make me smile from time to time...nothing new?.... ever heard of the Sex Pistols....the antithisis of the Beatles, and...I would venture that 'New Wave/Punk Rock' has more defined the modern 'rock' sound than anything that McCartney (oh plz) and co.

Well it certainly has in the UK....lol
