19. The Grateful Dead - "What'd mean it's only good if your high?"

18. Snoop Dogg - He has 1 1/2 decent albums and yet seems to have more disposable income and street cred then Richard Branson. - Agreed.

17. Coldplay - How are they even considered good enough to be overrated? Agreed.

16. The Doors - Turns out were not all poets are we Jim?

15. The Eagles - Together we can annoy millions, but if we split up we can annoy billions. Agreed wholeheartedly.

14. Garth Brooks - That whole Chris Gaines things made me have to hide my "No Fences" CD. Chris Gaines, really, Chris Gaines?

13. John Lennon(post-Beatles) - Whatever, the music sucked.

12. Eminem - Why do good things happen to bad people

11. Kanye West - I'm sure he's upset he's not the winner. No objections at all over here...very few of his stuff appeals to me. He even thinks what soulja boy does is the new age of hip-hop. It's all about the money.

10. The Rolling Stones - They have no right being included in the same sentence as the Beatles, Zeppelin and the Who, combined they never produced half the crap music the Stones have.

9. Nirvana - Not a PC thing to say, but if Cobain doesn't pull the plug they are remembered like Alice in Chains or Soundgarden at best. Agreed!

8. 2 PAC - Similar to Nirvana, made legendary by the early demise. Not a great emcee nor does he have the track record of many lesser regarded acts. Agreed!

7. Kiss - Name one person you know who still likes them. They fit perfectly in here...majority of their stuff is garbage...in fact, are they even worth it to be rated in the first place?

6. Dave Matthews Band - They might have the worst fans ever. Same as above.

5. White Stripes - If I can create the riffs your best known for on a Casio, I really don't need to hear how great your discography is.

4. Prince - It's so hard to tell when Prince recorded his music, it doesn't sounded dated at all.

3. Bruce Springsteen - I don't care what you say I've meet anyone who liked The Boss that wasn't borderline retarded or an @$$hole. This guy sucks. He definitely has some good stuff, but i really don't get the hype. His early stuff lyrics are great, but i just don't feel the 'music to your soul blablabla' everyone is talking about. I guess he's just one of those artists either you get or don't get.

2. U2 - They should be number one, I don't know one person who doesn't loathe them yet they are one of the biggest acts in the world. They top 75% of the online lists, they are constantly mentioned here as over rated. I only keep them at number two because of an incredible argument I heard against my actual title winner, Hey, not fair! There needs to be a number one contest.

#1!!!!!!!!! Mariah Carey - Just wait until you see the case against. Believe it or not, I've heard only one song of hers completely in my entire life...That too accidentally...It's just one of those songs from her new album released this year which has been circulating everywhere(has a video also i think). But i do know that my friends discuss about her all the time! I think better music can use the kind of recognition she gets.(although I'm in no valid position to comment on her music since I haven't listened to it at all)
My Thoughts.
I don't know whether The Doors, John Lennon, The Rolling Stones & Eminem could be considered overrated or not.(although i do kinda agree a bit with The Rolling Stones & Eminem)
The rest, I just haven't listened to enough to pass a comment.
