Out of all bands I am considering, I think U2 is my choice as well.

Beattles
Annie Lennox (perhaps not all-time but still, don't get it)
ABBA
Hank Williams Sr.
Any of the opera singers/3 Tenors/etc. The genre as a whole really. Just doesn't appeal to me.

I'm with you on the Stones. I like some of their songs a lot, but overall they leave me cold.

I've seen several mentions of U2 in this thread. To me they fall into the category of bands that either write incredible, anthemic singles, or a whole bunch of filler. I'd throw the Cure and early Pearl Jam into this category too. When they're on, they're amazingly on. But when they aren't, well... they really aren't.

I say early Pearl Jam because they have done literally nothing post-Yield that interests me. Some of their later singles are amongst the worst recordings I have ever heard. And yeah, I'm sure the downvotes will fall like rain, but it is what it is.

This isn't a "I don't respect them" category, it's simple artists that never really struck a chord with me.

The are certainly not 'all-time great', but Radiohead immediately came to mind.

Grateful Dead
Dylan

Aside from a couple songs, can't stand the Rolling Stones, either.

Not necessarily overrated but I liked Jimmy Pages' guitar playing and thought it was more advanced than Hendrix.

U2, the Police, Springsteen, REM, Creem, Janis Joplin, and of course Dave Mathews Band- just terrible...
