All of them are - along with all other entertainers and celebrities. We've turned society upside-down. Centuries ago, music and entertainment used to be something which happened in the background or on the sidelines, while most folks were primarily interested and involved in some productive activity. We used to idolize those who succeeded the most in these productive endeavors, and we used to look askance at most of those who chose to dedicate their lives to a generally unproductive and frivolous pursuit like music. Only the extremely talented musicians used to receive our praise, an even those rarely became rich.

So yes, who's the most overrated - they all are!

Industrialization had undoubtedly changed the amount and importance of leisurely activities like music, but centuries ago if you were not Royalty you had better be proficient with weapons of war or be able to provide for those who wield them with all manner of resources such as food, weaponry, armor etc. Alcohol, music and women were always there as the fruit of success.
