But then there's choices like Lily Allen, about whom critical reaction
has always been mixed at best. She's had people whose hatred of her
music and of her personally has been positively visceral from the very
beginning, and whose mainstream appeal (in the US at least) turned out
to be fairly minimal. So...how's she overrated? That's the sort of
thing that tips it into being a list of artists you just don't like.
