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…

Insane Clown Posse

Kid Rock

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Drake

Kesha aka Ke$ha

Nicki Minaj

How did it feel when experiencing gay sex for the first?

THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY

Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.

Mumford & Sons is the #5 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 most overrated artists according to Ranker.

Kings of Leon

Billie Eilish

Billy Ray Cyrus

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!

Britney Spears

Rebecca Black

Nirvana is #19 on the Hated Band Index.

Black Eyed Peas

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,

Weezer

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.

Ed Sheeran

Beastie Boys

One Direction

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!

Phish is #7 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 worst band according to LA Weekly.

50 Cent

Grateful Dead

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.

The Doors are #13 on the Hated Band Index.

Justin Bieber is a good-looking guy who can carry a tune. Does that make him a megastar?

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.

BTS

Megan Fox

Garth Brooks did have good songs like “Shameless” and “The Thunder Rolls.”
