Overrated Music Ledgend... Options

[McBadgere]

Having spent the last couple of days on t'tractor cutting hedges, I have listened to much radio...And I just wondered something...

Who, does everyone else think is (are) the most Overrated Music Legend™...

NO SLANGING MATCHES!!... ...

One person's "I don't like" could be another's fave artist in the world ever...

So an "I hate blah-blah because he's c*ap." is not allowed...

The three I've wondered about, off the top of my head...

Stevie Wonder.

Van Morrison.

Bob Dylan.


I can listen to Stevie Wonder songs done by someone else. I just bought an old version of "Isn't She Lovely". But no, I don't get it...

Van Morrison...Nope...I got nothin...

Bob Dylan. I love him in the Travelling Wilburys...And without him there would be no Tom Petty...(Discuss)...But I really really can't see the fuss...

There are more, but these will do for now... ...

Anyone else?...

The flip side of this is artists whose influence exceeds their own fame. Like John Mayall, whose band members included Clapton and Bruce, Fleetwood and McVie, Mick Taylor, Aynsley Dunbar and others. All the songwriters whose work has been covered by more famous artists (too many to mention). Then there are all the pioneers. The bands that were the first to try something new. They're often regarded as overshadowed by the bands that copied them once the new genre was established, but they're legends for starting it.
