Lady Gaga is overrated imo.
They make that kinda music over here for 2 decades now (minus her wig and strange outfits)

There are a lot of underrated bands out there.

overrated by an ungodly amount - Godspeed You Black Emperor!

criminally underrated - SIANspheric

Over rated- Metallica. They are good, but really over rated now.

Under rated- Jesu. The Silver EP deserves a load of recognition, as far as I'm concerned.

honestly, I actually like the genre, and it really isn't that bad!

I am not hating whatsoever. I quite enjoy some post-rock. I just found the statement that "all post-rock bands are underrated" pretty preposterous.

As has been said, the genre is pretty well-rated. The good bands get plenty of praise, some copy-cats get maybe a little too much, and the really dull and unoriginal ones righly don't get any.

Listened to Jesu or The Mercury Program? Two greats of the genre. They deserve more recognition.

I liked Nebraska and some of his other material of the like, but Born to Run made me giggle.

"The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle", "Born To Run" and "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" is one of the greatest three album runs in the history of rock music.
