Not long ago, I wrote about the most overrated hits songs of all time. I love compiling lists like those because they allow me to get in touch with my snarky side as well as rant a little. In that post four months ago, I mused about doing a list of overrated artists. Well, the time has come.
Here are the ten most overrated musical artists of all time. Don’t get me wrong: I like some of the music by some of these artists, and though there are only a few bands and solo performers I completely despise, you’ll find that I don’t hold back on how little I care for many of the folks on this list.
Believe me, I’m aware that I’m going to ruffle some feathers with this list. I’m fine with that, because taste in music is always subjective. But as you read the list, keep an open mind and see if you agree with me. And even if you don’t, just have fun reading it

I'm noEaagles fan, but they were All American. Don Henley is from Texas; Glen Frey was from Michigan. The others from around the country.
..Lou Reed...can someone explain “WHY” to me ?? I mean unless you just shot up heroin, what’s the point??
There was some rumors that when Marriott died, that he and Frampton were going to get back together, perhaps even resurrect Humble Pie.
It's like "Capitalism" was written just for AOC.
I like Journey. And my sister loved them, may she RIP.
But it was hysterical to me that forumites on the Inthe00s site seemed to think Steve Perrry was “the greatest singer ever”. ROFL! I can’t even say that for R&R, much less much better music types requiring genuine voice talent.
All the hippie San Fran types belong on the list.
The Dead... a good jug band, kinda what you'd expect other at somebody's barbecue, playing in the backyard. Yet they toured and toured and had a fanatical following, regardless if they recorded / released new music.
....
9. AC-DC. I needed one heavy-metal band, Sure, “You shook me” is a great fist-pumper, but they’re all french fries, no steak. You wanna defend, “Big Balls?” Even “Dirty Deeds?” Keep in mind, this isn’t “bands that suck.” This is “over-rated.” Do you realize they’re better selling the Rolling Stones?
C'mon man! Thunderstruck! Hells Bells!
10. Journey. Compare them to Foreigner, Boston, Kansas, Survivor. Then go read the lyrics to “Don’t Stop Believing.” Seriously.
Never understood the appeal of any of these bands.
>> In their day the Dead sold out every single venue they ever played. <<
Well yeah, the topic is who’s over-rated..
..The Dead just sucked.
Queen
Sting
Bob Dylan
The Pretenders
Talking Heads
Jefferson whatever
Fleetwood Mac
U2
REM
Led Zeppelin
Jefferson Hairpie?
“Springsteen Sucks” ping list.
I like it!
Springsteen sucked.
It's hard to find a complete album but...
Kaiser Chiefs "Never Miss A Beat",
Wolfmother "Woman",
The New Pornographers "High Ticket Attractions",
Greta Van Fleet "Highway Tune",
Miranda Lambert "Mama's Broken Heart",
The Black Keys "Lonely Boy",
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "Nature Boy" (the shorter version)
To each his own.
Says you.
Suck he does.
I make it a habit not to rain on someone’s musical parade. Know what I mean?
You do realize that Serena Williams is a black tennis player right?
What hogwash! Any such list must include Frank Sinatra.
That’s a good tune!
