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 don’t see the Doors and Rolling Stones belonging on that list but rest I’m indifferent to.
Bob Dylan. Cat caught in screen door. Ugh
I do agree with The Green Day selection and also Maroon 5.
Agree with Loose Bedspring and CCR! Not the Stones though! Quincy Jones had an interesting perspective on how Jagger and Richards interact between melodies which made me think of them in a new way. Three words...Let It Bleed!
The Stones? The Doors? CCR?
BS.
Springsteen yeah.
Michael Jackson
They're not awful, just overrated. Or were.
They forgot to include Elton John.
I knew it. The click whores as PJ Media won’t just list the artists, but make you click every other name. Fuggedaboudit.
Jim Morrison.
Prince.
Bruce Springsteen is a great song writer. His songs need to be covered by other artists.
Madonna is highly over-rated in my opinion.
U2
Springsteen
Barbara Streisand
The Beatles
Rolling Stones overrated, give me a break.
The Beatles #1. The Beatles suck. They have always sucked. They will continue to suck forever.
Peter Frampton
Another Bob Dylan vote.
