Their version or do you hate the original as well?
I knew it wasn't original but no, it's just their version that winds me up.

One of the only artists I’ve failed to understand the appeal of is Bruce Springsteen.

I had heard of Tapestry being a classic but god was it boring-my wife said she preferred Joe B, that's how boring it was.

Ridiculous.

No. Why do you ask?
The question was about over-rated songs, not artists.
But I don't have any particular problem with Soft Cell, Marc Almond or anything else about him / them if that's what you are getting at.

Not really but kind of .

For example
I love Chrissie Hinds Voice
But really only love 1 of the songs she sung .

Wheras i hated Dylans whiney drawl
But his songs are pretty damn great
when covered by better singers .

Hope that explains the question
