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

Maroon 5 and Adam Levine

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

What are the possible reasons for people feeling depressed after the holiday season? Why does being alone exacerbate these feelings?

Garth Brooks did have good songs like “Shameless” and “The Thunder Rolls.”

Grateful Dead

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

Drake

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.

Radiohead is #8 on the Hated Band Index.

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

Miley Cyrus

Jennifer Lopez

Piet Mondrian

Why has no country adopted the SA80/L85 rifle?

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.”

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.

Kendrick Lamar

I am glad you enjoyed my pictures. Do you have any photos to share?

Sex Pistols

KISS is #9 on the Hated Band Index and the #10 worst band according to Ultimate Guitar.

Tiny Tim

Why do flat-earthers claim the 1967 photo of Earth from space was made with CGI, even though CGI didn't exist back then?

Kings of Leon

Beastie Boys

THE MOST OVERRATED ACTS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY

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

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.

Weezer

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?

JAY-Z

Jonas Brothers

Billie Eilish

Megan Fox

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!

Wilco

Rebecca Black

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.

Insane Clown Posse

Roseanne Barr

Kid Rock

The Osmonds

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…

Tool

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.

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

Milli Vanilli

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!

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.

Chris Brown

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

Jefferson Airplane aka Jefferson Starship aka Starship had some good songs like “White Rabbit” and “Somebody to Love” but got pop-fizzy with songs like the unlistenable “We Built this City.”

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

Mumford & Sons is the #5 on the Hated Band Index and the #17 most overrated artists according to Ranker.

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.

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

Rush is #18 on the Hated Band Index.

Billy Ray Cyrus

Cardi B

Black Eyed Peas

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

Skrillex

Linkin Park

BTS

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,

Imagine Dragons

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

Lou Reed

Nicki Minaj

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