Over rated: Pretty much any rap-rock and nu-metal was over rated in its time. Gorillaz, Neutral Milk Hotel is agreeable over hyped, Nirvana (decent band but didn't do as much as they get credit for), and NIN.

Under rated: Siege, Joy Division, Camel, The Birthmarks, pretty much any Mike Patton project can't be hyped enough, and Bongzilla.

Agreed on Frank Zappa. Just owning a couple his albums covers a multitude of genres.

Whatever. I find their music to be both boring and appalling. And its rare for bands to be both.

Urban will surely agree with that.

But if you ask me. Bands like Zep and Queen are just overhyped/overexposed, not overrated. Way too many people diss on them for them to be genuinely overrated.
