    You might as well then say:

    Overrated: Any popular, successful band that is well liked.

    Underrated: Any obscure, never heard off underground band that gets no exposure.

    Then, close the thread. That is all.

    Not true. There are plenty of popular, successful bands that are well liked who aren't overrated.

    Maiden comes to mind.

    Overrated is like when a new QB comes to the NFL and everyone's calling him the next Dan Marino when he plays more like Trent Dilfer.

    But knowledgable football fans know Dilfer is a better quarterback. Marino was just a passer. :pity:
    http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=7810

    That site actually has an article arguing that Marino was not a great quarterback. They think he only merits the label great passer because he didn't win.

    Sorry for that tangent.

    IMO, Foo fighters is one of the most underrated bands out there.

    Id say the Foo get some pretty good notoriety.

    IMO the Deftones are a very underrated band. I was always a huge KoRn fan but will readily admit they were overrated as was the whole Nu-Metal Rap/Rock scene (excluding Rage who were around before that)

    Totally! I can't believe I forgot to put them in my list. Very strong live band with a pretty good catalog of material. "Around the Fur" is a great record.

    Underrated: Blind Melon. Probably the best band of the 90s (they were finshed once Hoon passed away).

    Underrated: The Verve. "A Storm in Heaven" is still one of the best albums I have ever heard. It is nothing like their mainstream music. The track flows together perfectly and has even turned me on to shoegaze music.

    Rickets FTW!

    Off Adrenaline my fav track is 'Minus Blindfold' and as previously mentioned 'Passenger' (White Pony) is one of my favorite songs of all time.

    What did you guys think of 'Saturday Night Wrist'? I couldnt stop listening to the album when I first picked it up. Their songs grow on you.

    Best band of that genre you mean. There were WAY better bands out there, just didn't get any recognition. :wink2:

    Agreed.

    Agreed x 2.

    Both of those are excellent bands. Foo is great live.

    Soup is a brilliant record. It holds up so well and gets regular airplay in my house. Galaxie is still one of my favorite songs of all time.

    Very, VERY true. And thank you BTW because without this board I never would have heard of them (well, the old board but you get the idea...LOL).

    Kamelot is definitely good, but I guess I'm just more of a Nevermore and Mercenary guy when it comes to that genre.
