1. The Beatles: A great band, doubtless. But overrated.
2. Tupac: Not a poet, loved only for his......martyrdom.
3. Eminem: Also not a poet.
4. The Eagles: Because they had one good song doesn't mean they were a great band.
5. U2: The same six songs. The same six chords. The same single theme.
6. Queen: Another martyr, and not one but five good songs.
7. Aerosmith: Steve Tyler looks like one of the greatest rock vocalists but doesn't sound like him.
8. Frederic Chopin: Only Mozart could stack notes effectively.
9. Michael Jackson: There was only one king and it was not MJ.
10. AC/DC: Neither innovative nor technically skilled.
I hope a sequel to this list will feature the most overrated songs of all time. I nominate "Happy Birthday," which was composed, appropriately enough, by a pair of kindergarten teachers.
