Definitely our least insulting award, this one is dedicated to those artist who everyone you knew was wrong about when they said they were the Messiah of Music, original, “the only such and such of today”, better than the Beatles, and/or the Band that will bring your to musical nirvana. Yeah, they were exaggerating a bit when they said that, as you have come to find out. So, to honor those bands that are not nearly as good as the hype they receive, we present the Famed Noel Gallagher Award for Most Overrated Artist or Band.

DISCLAIMER: YOU ARE THE ONES WHO CHOOSE WHO IS NOMINATED. NOT ME. JUST BECAUSE I PUT SOMEONE IN, IT DOES NOT MEAN I ACTUALLY HAVE A NEGATIVE OPINION OF THE ARTIST/SONG/WHATEVER. THESE POLLS DO NOT REFLECT MY OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS OR TASTES. ANYBODY WHO FAILS TO NOTE THIS AND MAKES A COMMENT ALONG THE LINES OF INSULTING OR THREATENING FOR HAVING SO AND SO IN THE POLL IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTS THE TITLE OF “ILLITERATE TEENYBOPPER” AND FORFEITS THEIR RIGHT TO COMPLAIN WHEN PEOPLE RESPOND TO THEM WITH VARIOUS MACROS. THE SAME GOES FOR PEOPLE WHO INSULT OTHERS FOR NOT LIKING SOMETHING. IF YOU’RE UPSET SOMETHING YOU LIKE IS NOMINATED, SAY SO, BUT DO NOT SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE FOR HAVING DIFFERENT PREFERENCES. YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIKE IT OR PRETEND YOU DO. JUST TOLERATE IT. THIS DISCLAIMER WILL BE ON THE TOP OF EVERY POLL AND SO IF YOU NEGLECT TO READ IT, WELL, YOUR FAULT. If you wish to submit your own candidates for nomination,

go here.

I If you wish to vote in our first category, “Worst Artist” go here.

Cute Is What We Aim For is so fucking terrible but voting for them would mean someone out there actually thinks they are good. So I went with Paramore. I don't think they are terrible but there was no reason for them to be nominated for a grammy. & seriously people, I can name about a thousand better female fronted bands.

MCR. I could list many reasons but I don't want a million "u suck" responses. I laughed at the title, Oasis so should've been there too, how could I forget them in the nominations! XD I actually like so many of the nominees it's quite embarrassing.

This one was far difficult, but I had to go with Smiley Cyrus.
Seriously, why make a fifteen-year-old girl teach seven-year-olds right from wrong?
Take it from a fellow fifteen-year-old, we're still learning right from wrong ourselves.

Just because they put a lead trumpet line in ONE song, doesn't mean they're trying to emulate The Beatles. I am so fucking sick of people saying they're trying to copy them. It's an older sound and guess what? Older doesn't = Beatles. They sound nothing like them and they didn't try to. I really want to kick Ryan Ross in the face for ever mentioning The fucking Beatles. People just copy the opinion now because it's been said so many times by people who are supposed to know shit about music. If anyone listened properly they'd see that there's little to no similarities. But I guess it's just too fun living with your head up your ass.

All their outfits and actually a shitload of the music stylings on their new album totally DOES = Beatles ripoff

They had old-themed shit on their last album run too, and no one made Beatles comparisons then. Just a reminder

No one is saying these artists are bad. What this poll is saying is that they are overrated, that they get more credit than they deserve.
Except Metro Station & CIWWAF. I won't front, they suck pretty hard.

Too hard to decide! I love that Trace (I think is his name; of Metrostation) is wearing an Acacia Strain shirt because they're a pretty rough metalcore band and Metrostation, they're, well, "Shake it."

A week ago, I would have agreed that Mariah Carey should be on this list but after doing a lot of unnecessary research about her for trivia night, I realized she actually is quite an impressive artist.

WHY IS JAY-Z ON HERE?! Lol, I shamelessly love him. And Kanye is a douche and makes racist remarks about whites at his shows and assumes it's ok, but I do like his muzack.

Enough rambling, I'm going with CIWWAF. I never got them. Everyone talked about how creative the lyrics were, but they're actually really lame and they come off as trying too hard.

I voted Paramore. I can't stand their fanbase / them any more.
