What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?

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.

Kid Rock

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

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

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

Black Eyed Peas

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!

Usher

Creed is the #3 most-hated band of all time on the Hated Band Index and the #4 worst band of all time according to Ultimate Guitar.

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.

Barry Manilow

Sex Pistols

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.

Beastie Boys

JAY-Z

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

#ART #MUSIC #POP #ROCK #MRBART #MRBMUSIC #MRBPOP #MRBROCK

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,

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

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

Kesha aka Ke$ha

Tool

Britney Spears

The Osmonds

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.

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

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…

Roseanne Barr

Skrillex

Yoko Ono

Jonas Brothers
