Have you ever been instructed/forced to crossdress for the benefit of others?
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?
Milli Vanilli
Imagine Dragons
Miley Cyrus
Nickelback is the most hated band of all time, with a near-perfect 99.99 score on the Hated Band Index, and is also the #1 worst band of all time according to Ultimate Guitar. David Grohl said that if you play a Nickelback song backwards, you’ll hear the Devil, but if you play it forwards, even worse, you’ll hear Nickelback!

Spin Doctors are #20 on the Hated Band Index and also the #20 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Katy Perry
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.
Jefferson Airplane aka Jefferson Starship aka Starship had some good songs like “White Rabbit” and “Somebody to Love” but got pop-fizzy with songs like the unlistenable “We Built this City.”
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!

Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.
Chris Brown

Oasis is #16 on the Hated Band Index and the #5 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar. They are also the #18 worst band according to LA Weekly and the #42 most overrated artists according to Ranker.
Madonna put out some great songs like “This Used to Be My Playground,” “Ray of Light,” “Justify My Love,” “Express Yourself,” “Like a Virgin,” “Like a Prayer” and “Papa Don’t Preach.” But somehow it became more about the spectacle than the music.
Green Day is #12 on the Hated Band Index and the #13 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar. They are also the #2 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Lil Wayne
The Osmonds
Black Eyed Peas
Vanilla Ice
Piet Mondrian
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
Maroon 5 and Adam Levine
50 Cent
Nicki Minaj
Megan Fox
On the brighter side for lingerie lovers, Madonna got the whole “singing in our undies” thing going.
The early Beatles were overrated for pop-fizzy songs like “Love Me Do,” “Please Please Me,” “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
Usher
Wu-Tang Clan
Skrillex
Tool
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,

I’m a longtime music lover and I’m very liberal, loving the best hard rock, soft rock, pop, blues, R&B, soul, jazz, country, folk, classical and opera. I’m not a huge fan of rap, but I do have favorite rap songs as well. However there are singers, bands and other musical artists who seem overrated to me…
Nirvana is #19 on the Hated Band Index.
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.
Yoko Ono
Coldplay has had good songs like “Fix You,” “Viva La Vida,” “Clocks” and “Yellow” but they do seem overrated overall. Coldplay is #11 on the Hated Band Index and the #12 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.
Insane Clown Posse
Tiny Tim
K.C. and the Sunshine Band don’t just play the same three chords over and over again, they sing the same three or four words over and over and over again.
Beastie Boys
Kings of Leon
Mumford & Sons is the #5 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 most overrated artists according to Ranker.
Justin Bieber is a good-looking guy who can carry a tune. Does that make him a megastar?
LL Cool J
Mariah Carey has a great voice and and amazing vocal range. I like a number of her songs but none have made my all-time playlist.
NSYNC
Rush is #18 on the Hated Band Index.
Dr. Dre
Nick Cannon
Creed is the #3 most-hated band of all time on the Hated Band Index and the #4 worst band of all time according to Ultimate Guitar.
Lou Reed
Garth Brooks did have good songs like “Shameless” and “The Thunder Rolls.”
Phish is #7 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 worst band according to LA Weekly.
JAY-Z
KISS is #9 on the Hated Band Index and the #10 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.
Ariana Grande has an amazing vocal range but her songs haven’t wowed me. I do like “Bang Bang” and “The Way.”
Roseanne Barr
The Dave Matthews Band is #10 on the Hated Band Index and the #1 worst band according to LA Weekly. They made it a clean sweep by being the #16 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar and the #22 overrated artists according to Ranker.
Britney Spears
Lady Gaga produced great songs like “Paparazzi,” “Poker Face,” “Bad Romance” and “Shallow.” But, as with Madonna, it often seems more about the spectacle than the music.
