The Clash and Thin Lizzy are legit, The Stooges are absurdly overrated (Raw Power is great but Fun House is boring) and Motley Crue are a band I'm not even gonna bother rating.

I guess you're right about music and art being pretentious in general, and nothing being automatically bad about being pretentious. I just personally dislike the music I consider pretentious.
However, punk rock is relatively unpretentious music. It's stripped-down rock and roll with simple chord structures and no lengthy guitar solos.
The Stooges are sort of overrated but only among critics and serious music fans. The vast majority of people have no idea who they are.
