These Are The Most Overrated Singers in the Industry

Joy Division

Rolling Stone calls Joy Divison's 1979 album Unknown Pleasures 34 of their 40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time. However, if you actually ask anyone if they listen to Joy Divison, the answer is probably no. Though they were talented, they always sounded like they were trying so hard to sound edgy.

Rush

Rush has proven to be music's most polarizing band. They have a cult following of loyal fans as well as people who can't stand even one second of their music. The lead singer Geddy Lee has some pretty insane vocals that just don't bode well with people. Despite being expert musicians, they're just one of those bands that you either love or you hate.
