I think you have to consider that people are appreciated for different reasons.
Nobody ever claims that Dylan is a great singer,but there are some things he does that nobody else should even try to do. As a songwriter,he is untouchable,good guitar player too.He's been a household name for 50+ years.
Springsteen,great songwriter and showman,good musician.
If you are into great harmonies and vocals(I suspect that is your interest),these guys aren't going to be your thing.
Aren't you glad people like different things?

Overrated: The Beatles
Underrated: The Verve, Afghan Whigs (and other Dulli projects), Def Leppard....could come up with more.

Meh - I don't think Dylan is underrated in any way. He's overrated as a recording artist, because he is appropriately rated as one of the greatest songwriters of his generation. He is a whiny, atonal singer who makes Lou Reed and Bruce Springsteen seem like good singers by comparison (there - I said it.)
To put it another way no one would pay Dylan to sing their songs. But most would pay Dylan to write songs for them.
