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.

THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY
Limp Bizkit is the second most-hated band of all time, with a 96.79 score on the Hated Band Index, and is also the #2 worst band of all time according to Ultimate Guitar.
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.
Rush is #18 on the Hated Band Index.
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
Kings of Leon
Justin Bieber is a good-looking guy who can carry a tune. Does that make him a megastar?
The Osmonds
Barry Manilow
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.
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.
KISS is #9 on the Hated Band Index and the #10 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.
The Doors are #13 on the Hated Band Index.
Insane Clown Posse
Black Eyed Peas
Piet Mondrian
Imagine Dragons
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!
My Chemical Romance
Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.
Ed Sheeran
NSYNC
Poison
Spin Doctors are #20 on the Hated Band Index and also the #20 worst band according to LA Weekly.
Tool
Lil Wayne

Rihanna has had good songs such as “Stay,” “Diamonds,” "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris, and "Love the Way You Lie" with Eminem.
Roseanne Barr
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…
Lou Reed
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.
Nick Cannon
Wilco
Dr. Dre
And to make it a perfect menage a trois, there is Beyonce…
Drake
LL Cool J

One Direction
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?
Garth Brooks did have good songs like “Shameless” and “The Thunder Rolls.”
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.
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,
