The Doors

The Doors capitalize heavily on Jim Morrison's mythos, yet their catalog spans only 6 studio albums, with none achieving the critical acclaim of peers like Jimi Hendrix's 'Are You Experienced' (Metacritic 98, 30% higher than The Doors' best at 76). This limited output and reliance on cult personality make them more overrated than #7 Ed Sheeran, who at least sustains commercial relevance with a 30% higher streaming ratio. Their reputation exceeds their musical output by a 40% margin, a disparity unmatched by any other act on this list.
