Right, like if you asked twenty people my age what rock/metal bands they like, you'd probably hear a lot of Slipknot, A7X, Lamb Of God, Killswitch Engage, Korn etc.

Doesn't mean that The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are underrated, or that the average "casual" rock fan wouldn't know who they are. I think there's a significantly better argument that they're overrated, or at least that they get the respect that they deserve. Ice Cube may not actually be a "household name" today, but it's mostly because the genre isn't anywhere near as popular as it once was, but I still think he is a household name, even if he isn't as relevant as he used to be.
