If this is more than naming popular artists that a person hates, I'm going to use as my criteria artists that get fawning critical and mass fan adoration despite having a lot of shit on their record. So they can be good, even very good, but still be overrated because critics/fans lose their minds at anything less than slavish adoration. That said, I'll offer up: Dylan, the Stones, Brooooose, Rush, and Radiohead (maybe Bowie is there, too, tho there's a lot more willingness to be critical of his post-70s work).

edit: The Beatles and Elvis should be there, too.

I won't say no. But I see them as more of a niche artist (outside of this milieu) and overall not overrated.

Foo Fighters was a great choice. I cant argue with any listed so far.

Oh and the Grateful Dead

Foo Fighters sell out stadiums over here, it's insane. They are so thoroughly ordinary.

Yeah, huge here too. And ordinary I would say describes them quite well.

Coldplay
Maroon 5
