    For me the most overrated are AC/DC! In my country (Bulgaria) they are religion! I really don't know why. I just can't stand them :)

    In no particular order -

    Lady Gaga - when there was an actual discussion on another board I'm a member of as to whether or not Gaga is 'bigger than The Beatles', I knew that her fame had grown WAY beyond her level of 'talent'...or should I say, 'gimmick'.

    Creed - good lord, give me Alter Bridge any day of the week. And that's even after you put aside the fact that, early in their career, they tried to sound exactly like PJ, just to hitch a ride up the charts.

    Nickelback - is there really any explanation required?

    Slipknot - Stone Sour is a better band, IMO.

    Nirvana - I liked them okay...but of the 'big 4' Seattle bands at the time, I liked them the least. Which was not the 'cool kid' prevailing opinion back then.

    Coldplay - I never liked them at all, right from the start.

    Radiohead - MEH.

    Never understood how anyone could like that band. The thought of JH's vocals makes me cringe.

    I'm with you on this one too.

    Plus, JH is such a douche. :lol: Which makes me like them even less.

    I am a bit surprised to see Springsteen mentioned a few times on this list. For my money, he's the best songwriter out there. But to each their own, I guess. :lol:
