I'm not a fan of ZZ Top but I think they got quite enough attention. Fandango! was a pretty influential album and Eliminator was their most commercially successful album. So I don't really see how they're underrated.

They are twats but this was spot on from Liam:

"I couldn't give a fuck what that fucking clown gets up to," said Gallagher. "Have you seen when he bumped his head? He's coming out of the gym with that bird and there are geezers taking pictures. You have to put your head up and carry on walking. He's gone and walked straight into a fucking pole. You hear it go 'dink' and him tell people to stop taking pictures."

Mocking the religious connotations of the title 'Yeezus', Gallagher then continued: He's a fucking idiot. You'll never see Jesus banging his head.

Overrated:
Oasis, The Beach Boys, NWA.
(Although I must admit, each of these artists do have a few good songs and I certainly don't dislike Oasis.)

Underrated:
Blur, Vampire Weekend, Wu-Tang Clan, The Libertines, The Strokes
(Just think of all the carbon copies The Libertines spurred on, not to mention The Strokes... and Damon Albarn is a genius.)

Agree with the ZZ Top comment, too.

In fact, I don't think a lot of hard rock bands from that era get a lot of recognition compared to the fanfare surrounding punk and new wave.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND IS ANNOYING.

I've wanted to say that for years and just never got around to it.

Butthole Surfers are hugely underrated although they're a bit too weird for a more general fanbase. The Flaming Lips get loads of praise and attention on this side of the pond, perhaps not as much as ten years ago but they still have their fanboys. I never got the deal with Blind Melon, I've listened to all their albums and they sound very average.
