The blogs are buzzing; all those cool hipsters you want as your friends love them; Spin and Kerrang! gave their record 41/2 stars; and since Noel Gallagher likes them, NME gave them 5. And then you listen, assured by music connoisseurs all around that they will be your ticket to full spiritual and mental enlightenment. And they aren’t. This isn’t really us ripping on the artists as much as the people who over-hyped them. So in our least-insulting category, we wonder: Who is the most over-rated artist?


(I would like to remind all voters in this poll that the nominations, though overseen, were not picked by the poster. These are almost completely based on suggestions made by the users who submitted nominee ideas. If you decide to attack the user for the nominees then you will only end up humiliating yourself as a result. You have been warned.)
To submit your own nominations go here.

To vote in our third category “And This, Children, Is Why We Don’t Give Shitty Artists Record Deals” go here.

To vote in our fourth category “Don’t Try This at Home….. Or Anywhere” go here.

OMG I know the list is compiled from other people's suggestions so I'm not going to be offended that Green Day and Nirvana are up there. I love those bands.

Are you calling Arcade Fire shit?

MCR, Patd, and Green Day got the most noms along with Tokio Hotel.

This is not a category where we call any of these artists shit. This is one where we call the hype shit. Thank you for being the first to insult them.

I like Arcade Fire, and I'm not trying to say they're shit. I'm just saying that My Chem, Green Day, and p!atd are better, and if you would've read my comment correctly. You would know that i wasn't trying to be mean or offend anyone.

I did read it, I read the part about you saying you were not trying to be mean.

And you did say "all the other shit up there"

I wasn't offended, I was teasing you.

You can't say you don't want to be mean offend anyone and then call seven artists "shit"

Sorry, but it IS a totalt contrdiction.

And I kind of doubt you listen to arcade fire.
