He's been hating on Shep for years, so his inclusion is a given. I think he actually validates Banksy and Fairey's work by including them on a list with 9 other quality, respected artists.

The 10 most overrated artists of the decade, by Guy Denning on Jan 5, 2011 18:48:17 GMT 1, There are some valid points of criticism made on some of the artists but they're lost in the nature of the writing.
The thing that professional art critics have to consider is that nobody cares enough to read or comment to any great degree on any lists of 'the 10 most overrated art critics of the decade'. ;D
It is funny (in a disposable, cheap-shot fashion) but is done with far more venom and ongoing consistency here:
tinyurl.com/39lqn3a
And no-one is safe!

The 10 most overrated artists of the decade, by jonnyx on Jan 5, 2011 20:11:45 GMT 1, "Takashi Murakmi... To mimic his twisted logic would be to insist that since I bought a Beatles song on I-Tunes this morning that I get to fuck Yoko Ono tonight. The curators over here ate up his solipsistic ploy no questions asked, giving his assembly line toy factory fine art credibility. But except for pedophilia [sic], there is no connection between his art and anything made before the invention of plastic."
lol!

Do you think Banksy and Shep take their work that seriously?... well, maybe Shep does a bit !

Too busy counting their money probably!

Agree with Alex on that... Damien Hirst is probably overrated but what does he care, he cash in a f***ing load of money while he can, that's all that matters to him. It's funny though not too find Jeff Koons in the list. The guy was a commodity broker with not much artistic talent (except having good eyes for ideas that have no deeper meaning than what they look like).

The 10 most overrated artists of the decade, by snausages on Jan 6, 2011 15:48:41 GMT 1, I think he actually validates Banksy and Fairey's work by including them on a list with 9 other quality, respected artists.
I agree, Fairey should feel honored even to be mentioned in this list.
But then this list is a bit absurd and shouldn't be taken too seriously. Chris Burden he calls overrated and his justification is due to some huff that occurred while he was teaching at UCLA. The details of which haven't fully been revealed. If anything it exhibits a character flaw, and what does that have to do with his "rating."
