Top 10 Rock Singers That Are a Bit Overrated But Still Sing Well

Basically rock singers that are a bit too popular bit still have a good voice to sing with. All genres are allowed. And the singer has to be still living that's all really.
The Top Ten
1 Billie Joe Armstrong Billie Joe Armstrong is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and actor who is best known as the lead vocalist, primary songwriter, and guitarist of the punk rock band Green Day, which he co-founded with Mike Dirnt.

2 Paul Mccartney Sir James Paul McCartney (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame with the rock band the Beatles, one of the most popular and influential groups in the history of pop and rock ...read more.

This does not make any sense, he is the biggest selling and most successful musician of all time, somebody who has accomplished that can't be overrated, unless you mean he is overrated today because he is 74 years old. He has done more than you ever will have when you are 74, or anybody else will for that matter.

You care not "over-rated" if you actually are the biggest seller of all time. The reverse is true; anybody who thinks they are better is over-rating themselves.

McCartney has skated on the Beatles' fame for the past 45 years. Since the split, he's offered no more than sappy pop.

3 Ivan L. Moody Ivan L . Moody, known by the pseudonym Ghost during his time with Motograter, is the lead vocalist for American groove metal band Five Finger Death Punch from Las Vegas, Nevada .

In Three Days Grace, absolutely. Not so much in Saint Asonia though considering there are still Three Days Grace fans that think he’s retired or something.

Overrated? This guy is underrated along with Art of Dying.

His singing voice isn't that good to be honest.

He has quite a raspy voice and sings great live.

He was a talented yet troubled grunge performer. Kurt Cobain became a rock legend in the 1990s with his band. He committed suicide at his Seattle home in 1994.

He was good but Nirvana was kinda overrated. And his death was tragic still iconic though :3

15 Elvis Presley Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century.

Lennon was characterised by the rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing and drawings, on film, and in interviews. His songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in history.

Not just because The Beatles was an extremely overrated band, but because he and Paul got the most attention in it and were even pretty overrated as solo artists.

19 Ozzy Osbourne John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948. He is also known as ''The Prince of Darkness''. Ozzy is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the band Black Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 and has since had a successful solo career, releasing 11 studio albums.

Eh Ozzy really struggles to hit notes so I don't know about that.

20 Jonathan Davis Jonathan Howsmon Davis, also known as JD and JDevil, is an American musician best known as the leading vocalist and frontman of the nu metal band Korn.
21 Troy Sanders Troy Jayson Sanders is an American musician, singer, and songwriter best known as a member of the Atlanta, Georgia metal band Mastodon, in which he plays bass and shares lead vocal duties with guitarist Brent Hinds and drummer Brann Dailor.
22 Corey Taylor Corey Todd Taylor was born in December 8, 1973. He is an American musician, author, and actor best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the Nu-metal band Slipknot and hard rock/alternative metal band Stone Sour.

He’s got a decent voice and seems like a down to earth person, but boy is he overrated, especially for being in Slipknot.

24 Brann Dailor Brann Timothy Dailor is an American drummer/singer best known as a member of the Atlanta, Georgia metal band Mastodon, in which he is the drummer, backing vocalist, lead vocalist and primary lyricist.
