Most overrated band are The Beatles - They're like the One Direction of the 60s.
Most underrated would have to be Nirvana.

Why do you feel like Nirvana are underrated? They are extremely popular and a legendary 90s band. If anything they're overrated.

Have One Direction ever wrote anything worth remembering e.g Eleanor Rigby, A Day In The Life, Strawberry Fields, While My Guitar Gently Weeps
You must be trolling if you can't recognise how the Beatles transformed their music over eight years

Well I'll be damned. I picked a wrong example that's all! How about I replace my example with "We Are The World"?
...Since it has 2 songwriters you might object, so I'll replace that with They Don't really care about us and Earth Song
My point is he is a well distinguished songwriter.

He was a well distinguished performer.
The reality is that pretty much all of his critically acclaimed material was written by other people. Those two songs were written in the 90s, MJ was way past it by then. It's odd how such a great songwriter couldn't write the majority of his best material. Did he write some songs - sure. But the fact that he happened to write some songs is not all that impressive. And even if it was his music was pap anyway.
He was a great performer and a pop star, but not a great songwriter, and he is overrated as a musician. The emphasis was all on the spectacle.

I was referring to his albums that are most highly regarded by critics. OTW, Thriller & Bad, those are considered to be his strongest records.

> Wanna be Startin' Something
> Black or white
Self written, even though you didn't define it, I would say those two were critically acclaimed. Sure it doesn't outweigh the success of Thriller or Beat it... (oh wait
)Also Musician encompasses more than just songwriting

I would like to know why you feel MJ isn't overrated as a musician.
