Which artists (with some modicum of critical acclaim) actually suck? Directors, authors, graphic artists, whatever? Who is completely overrated? Which creative emperors have no clothes?

First nominee, for Egregious Overratedness: My Bloody Valentine. Cool sounds, no songs to speak of, not a great example of the shoegazer aesthetic.

I'll probably get creamed for this but I am not impressed by Neil Gaiman.

That was written by Christopher McQuarrie, and directed by Bryan Singer. I happened to like that film. How about A Beautiful Mind and Saving Private Ryan for ludicrously overrated films of the past ten years?

EDIT: Gladiator is one of the worst Best Picture Oscar winners in history. And I like Ridley Scott.

I agree with Gladiator, it was lame. I liked a Beautiful Mind and Saving Private Ryan quite a bit.

Wow, you're OD'ing on the Haterade, my man. I bet you hated The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer and Homeboys in Outer Space, too!

Spielberg made 'Saving Private Ryan' therefore no amount of praise could deem him overrated.

Trent Reznor and Kurt Cobain.

There will be plenty more to come, of all mediums, once I start really thinking about it.



EDIT: in since you were all talking about best picture winners, I've already thought of one.
Chicago. That fucking movie did not deserve the awards.

KISS is way over rated. Once I got around to listening to their music (which sucks (mostly)) it didn't seem to match up with their look at all.

Edit: Oh, and the Beatles suck. John Lennon sucks exponentially more than the Beatles collective suckiness.
