Overrated - well, mainstream and TV is full of them. Hard to pick just one or just ten.

Most underrated - Tom Waits, Queen, Enio Morricone are the ones you know, the ones you don't (and I do) - say, bunch of Russian and Serbian bands / composers from 20th century.

Underrated

Eddie Van Halen- Totally changed guitar playing- not just the tapping crap, but playing heavy music that swings. VH 1 changed the game for every band in 1978.

Overrated

U2- boring songs that never did anything for me

Springsteen- yelling poppy songs from a guy that should be changing my transmission fluid.

Grateful Dead- no songs, just endless bits of half finished ideas that go on way too long.

Roger Waters- Most of his solo albums sound like Tom Petty on a handful of downers. The rest of Floyd made him a great songwriter because of their performance/contributions to his mediocre songs.

Kirk Hammet- crank on the wah and blaze away in E minor... once again
