Most Overrated Bands/Musicians

Justin Timberlake. His music sounds like the afternoon shift in a strip club.
Barry Manilow
His best work was his early work.
State Farm Insurance ("Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there") or Band-Aid ("I am stuck on Band-Aid, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me!"), for which he adopted a childlike voice and wrote the music (Donald B Wood wrote the lyrics). His singing-only credits include commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pepsi ("all across the nation, it's the Pepsi generation"), McDonald's ("you deserve a break today"), and Dr Pepper.
All downhill from there.

Can't agree with
Can't agree with Sting Ogi, also, I was never a big fan of Led Z, however, be did a duet album 15 years ago with Allison Krauss who I think has a beautiful voice and I was surprised how good Plant sounded.
And the next one he did with, I think, Patti Griffin.
The first one was produced by T-Bone Burnett and the second was produced by Buddy Miller. This one won the Grammy for best album of Americana music.
I'd buy just about any album produced by T-Bone. He's a musical genius.
well Eddie we can disagree about music artists...............but this is what i will say....if i had to listen Message in a Bottle more than 3 or 4 times in a row with its never ending."Sending out an SOS" to finish the song., i would be tearing out my eardrums ..lol..
After all this hate, who is left?
Well I guess there’s still a long list of musicians, but once you list who they are people will hate on them too.
The bottom line is you like who you like and if you don’t like them don’t listen to them.

Nathan your point is well taken and the thread has become more of Bands/Singers i hate............ but sticking to the original theme i dont hate Dianna Ross or her music for instance, but in my opinion vastly overrated.....and there are plenty others..
Austrian Death Machine.
You will thank me later.
We will always have this also
I know I know, I should widen my musical tastes, it's a real problem.
I'm surprised nobody went after Rod Stewart. Good singer and great songs in his career, but is he really worth all the praise?
Generally speaking, singers/bands that had hits in the 1970s turned into plastic in the 1980s.

I can't understood why people treat them like gods. Their music seems to insist or demand you listen to their "Creative Genius".
Steve Winwood is one of my rock heroes. He's a genius and his work in Traffic is legendary. John Barleycorn Must Die is an all-time classic in which he played almost all of the instruments and the Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is great. And then Blind Faith with Clapton and Baker. He's much more appreciated in the U.K. than here.
I never see The Eagles get pushed enough these days to the point of overrated.
Pink Floyd I'd agree outside of the Syd Barrett days, Atom Heart Mother and Animals. Also for PF fans, give Madcap Laughs a listen as its a phenomenal album despite how hard it was to produce given Syd's mental state at the time.
I forgot a few who should go to the very top of my list.
Grateful Dead
Eric Clapton
Leonard Cohen
Frank Zappa
