Tom Waits is in close competition with Elvis Costello for the title of "Most Overrated Musical Act in the History of Musical Acts".

I'm probably going to have to cast my vote for Waits, who I don't believe has even a single album that has cracked the top-20, maybe even the top-50.

At least Elvis can sing.

“Tom Waits is in close competition with Elvis Costello for the title of “Most Overrated Musical Act in the History of Musical Acts”.”

I’m going to have to trump you on that one with Lou Reed. Never understood the fascination with him. Especially his song about homosexual encounters with cross-dressers (usually pimped as his “greatest hit”).

Evidently, you missed the memo...

The “Most Overrated Musical Act in the History of Musical Acts” has been renamed the “Order of Bruce Springsteen with U2 Clusters.”
