Poll question: How many of these music artists do you feel are overrated?
Here are 9 I feel are overrated. If you don't know some, just put the ones you know - you don't have to abstain from voting. This will be my last poll for a while.

Bjork
Guns N' Roses
Sex Pistols
Sigur Ros
Flaming Lips
Lauryn Hill
KISS
OutKast
Soundgarden

1. have the names by the numbers for voting
I'm too lazy to countdown and then transpose over for the the poll. Are you the designer of that butterfly ballot in Florida, by any chance?

2. I don't think you're voting for individuals
Of that list, he wants us to list how many are overrated. (At least that's how I read the question)

4. he/she lists nine "artists"
then lists numbers 1, through 9 to vote for. So you would vote 1 if you thought Bork was overrated, 2 if you thought Guns N Roses are over-rated. It does not matter which, it only illustrates the "butterflyballotesqness" of this poll. LOL

5. Actually
It means to vote for the number of artists out of the 9 that you feel are overrated. Sorry if it was confusing.

7. Now I get it, but I screwed your poll up
I thought I was voting for Outkast as most over-rated, sorry.

10. That's a killer pic of Dean
I am leaning towards him for the Dem nomination, though there are many good people...

I don't know if the ones he listed were the most overrated musicians (should that be in quotes). I think many of the mainstream-touted musical types are over-hyped. Once the marketing fiends get ahold of it, you might as well just dig in with your survival junk in the bunker, as far as I can see. He left out J-Lo and dozens of others that may be fine and talented people, but stuffed up our noses like bad cocaine.
