MUSIC: Who are the most Overrated/Underrated Musicians?

[magic fingers]

i won't list my over rated...too many to mention here, although i will say Pink Floyd is definitely, IMO, overrated

Underrated

Yes
Three Dog Night
Boston
Gary Numan
Deep Purple
Faith No More...

Great list, except for Gary Numan, and Faith No More. Those 2 aren't my cup of tea

 

[chicago]

Fall Out Boy is super overrated

 

[Jbones26]

I may be a bit biased because I truly just do not like this band, but I personally think that Blink-182 is extremely overrated.

A band that I think is highly underrated is Lord Huron. I know it's like, complete opposite end of the spectrum for genres than blink but it's just awesome music and idk a lot of people who know of them.

Overrated.,, Tom Petty, U2, The Clash, Billy Joel, Indigo Girls, James Taylor

Underrated... Corrosion of Conformity, Testament, Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett

 

[Deneb1982]

...Who DO YOU THINK are the most overrated and underrated musicians/bands?
(except for Dave2112...yes, we KNOW Rush is the greatest band that have ever been born of cosmic sperm. NO we don't wanna hear about it for the 87,000th time, lol).

You really can't overstate the brilliance of Rush, though.
