As for Springsteen. *barfs again* Completely overrated. I don't hear mostly anything special about his music.

both are overrated only in terms of sales, and people buying their albums
critically, i think they're both rated just about right, except from Rolling Stone magazine

Admittedly, I didn't listen to all their catalogue (not THAT much of a masochist!), so the ones I did review, in case you didn't/don't want to read the feature, were the debut, then "Backstreet's back" (which was, it seems, their actual debut in the US...) then "Millennium", which I found a big improvement and finally "Unbreakable", which I almost liked.
