Overrated bands/musicians
There are a lot of bands that critics and fans seem to worship, but for some reason you just never saw what all the fuss was about. These are the types of bands where people look shocked and dismayed when they hear you don't like them. Here's a couple of mine (please don't flame me if I happen to name someone's favorite, just my personal opinion):
The Doors - I found their music droning and boring Grateful Dead - dull jam band, mystifyingly popular Beck - if you like Beck NYC hipsters will think you're cool, but his music is crap Arcade Fire - modern rock flavor of the week, lame Michael Jackson - was Thriller really that great? What are some others u have?

I'm surprised if you really haven't even heard their name before. OP - I thought Funeral had a few really great moments, but agree the critics have gone a little too far with their sycophancy. And I'd like to nominate Coldplay, for the most horrible overrated band of all time. I love the Royksopp remix of Clocks, but besides that everything else is unbearable.

Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean all in order, that has to be one of the best combinations of songs on any album. Part of the appeal of Thriller too is that it appeals to everyone. I don't know a single person that can't help but at least bob there head when they hear Thriller. As for a musician I think is over-rated..I give you Kurt Cobain!
