Top 10 Most Overrated Canadian Artists
Well even though Canada has some great artists and bands, they have a few overrated ones as well. Overrated doesn't mean bad, it means too popular.
Rush was a Canadian progressive rock band that was formed in 1968. The band has had an iconic lineup since 1975, which included Neil Peart (Drums, Percussion), Geddy Lee (Vocals, Bass, Keyboards), and the guitarist, Alex Lifeson. Peart passed away after a 3 year battle with brain cancer in January of 2020. Because of this, Lee says there are no plans to keep the band going, so Rush is most likely defunct.
The band has become one of the most well-known progressive rock bands in the world, with such albums as "2112", "Hemispheres" and "Moving Pictures". More than half of their albums have gone gold or platinum, as certified by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America). @Jeffrey I think they deserve their popularity for how talented they are. They are amazing at playing their instruments, the best I've heard. And 40 years later and they still perfect it (I've seen them live twice)
I do agree that Rush is overrated, but they are still a great band. I just never really got into them, that's all. But I can definitely respect what they've done for rock music.
This is below Justin Bieber. I have lost all faith in humanity.
Terrible band.

He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more. He has had a negative effect here on earth and has generally made the world a worse place with his horrid music and his run in with the law. If he disappeared, I think the stock market would go up and the middle class would flourish again
Yes. He's Canadian? I guess I'm not much of a hater than I thought.

The band is composed of guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair. I don't know about this. In order to be overrated, you have to be popular in the first place
Nickelback, the Tragically Hip, and Bachmann-Turner Overdrive are three big reasons I don't listen to the radio.
More like over hated.
