Kings of Leon

Tiny Tim

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.

How do you perform a lap dance for your boyfriend or husband?

Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.

Lou Reed

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…

Why cant I ever fall asleep with my boyfriend?

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!

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

Nirvana is #19 on the Hated Band Index.

When does a woman know she is cumming?

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

And to make it a perfect menage a trois, there is Beyonce…

The Doors are #13 on the Hated Band Index.

What do you think about Matt Gatz as an attorney general?

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.

Ariana Grande has an amazing vocal range but her songs haven’t wowed me. I do like “Bang Bang” and “The Way.”

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

THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY

Poison

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?

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.”

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.

One Direction

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.

50 Cent

Justin Timberlake

Piet Mondrian

Weezer

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.

On the brighter side for lingerie lovers, Madonna got the whole “singing in our undies” thing going.

Wilco

Tool

Lil Wayne

Linkin Park

Drake

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.

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.

Jenny McCarthy

Spin Doctors are #20 on the Hated Band Index and also the #20 worst band according to LA Weekly.

Beastie Boys

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,

JAY-Z

Nicki Minaj

Kanye West is best known for dissing Taylor Swift, no?

My Chemical Romance

Milli Vanilli

Billy Ray Cyrus

Imagine Dragons

Jennifer Lopez

NSYNC

Dr. Dre

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

Billie Eilish

LL Cool J

Kesha aka Ke$ha

Metallica is #14 on the Hated Band Index and the #6 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.

Rush is #18 on the Hated Band Index.

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.

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!

Skrillex

Miley Cyrus

Kid Rock

Chris Brown

Rebecca Black

Katy Perry

Rihanna has had good songs such as “Stay,” “Diamonds,” "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris, and "Love the Way You Lie" with Eminem.

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.

Usher

Sex Pistols

Barry Manilow

Korn is #15 on the Hated Band Index and the #20 most overrated artists according to Ranker.

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.

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.
