Re: the most overrated artists of all time
I'd go for The Stone Roses. A handful of half-decent songs doth not a great band make. The production was awful, the singing virtually atonal, the lyrics one-dimensional and John Squire, although a pretty good guitarist, clearly does not understand the meaning of subtlety.
Dylan is overrated as shit, too, though.
Other overrated band (IMHO):
Joy Division - quite good albums, but, again, dire production, flat singing and all the songs sound pretty much the same.
The Beatles - 'nuff said.
The Strokes - every single song the same, Velevt Underground rip-off. Not the best singer, either.
