Who would you say is overrated? [That is, to say, given an unrealistic and undeserved amount of respect and praise by critics, fans or awards]

I'm aware this'll cause some arguments but CARE I NOT.

I'll start. The Ramones. Everything sounds the same. /generalisation

[Iceman]

leona lewis, Coldplay, Take That, Arctic Monkeys, U2......will add more.

[InOne]

Coldplay. Although they have died down quite a lot now. In 06 they were unbearable.

*gets bitchy and says Eminem*

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

JLS and BEP. neither are given much praise or respect but they seem to sell a lot and this just shouldnt happen

[Iceman]

OH forgot the motherlord that is Justin Bieber

ellie goulding, marina and the diamonds

[Benjamin]

Other than the already mentioned Coldplay I'd say Kings of Leon....

[InOne]

Dunno if there is any point saying a pop artist is overrated, just appeals to the masses anyway

[Ramsay]

Metallica
Coldplay
U2
Kings Of Leon..but i dunno cus alot of people hate them too so i dunno if i would say they are overated but yeh

The likes of Justin Bieber and JLS are not overrated. Who overrates them? They appeal to their own market which mostly consists of overgrown single women and young children.

An artist has to have been heaped with critical praise and fanwankerry surely before they should count in a thread like this?

I'll go ahead and hop on the Coldplay bandwagon straight away. Other ones that come to mind are Jay-Z, hey hurr hey it's Metallicahhh and err ... David Gray. Another boring shittyarse, IMO.

Having difficulty thinking of many right now. Simonsays's obvious baiting aside anyone who nominates either The Beatles or Elvis does not understand popular music. Opinions need not apply. Thank you.

ignore:

to refrain from noticing or recognizing: to ignore insulting remarks.

They revolutionized popular music to a degree that you are as of yet incapable of understanding. Regardless of your opinion on them they are not in any way overrated.

People need to realize that 'name some overrated bands!' and 'name some bands you don't like that much!' are two different things.

The Beatles and Elvis get heaped with praise and adulation. Every bit of it due.

[Locke.]

Lady Gaga.

Sex Pistols

[InOne]

Bob Marley. Only because most people who are a 'fan' can't even name 10 of his songs.
