how is it possible that anyone thinks Dylan is overrated?

I would guess it's because they are less than completely enthusiastic about Dylan's work and feel the acclaim it receives is unwarranted

I don't agree with this opinion, but I can understand how it's possible someone might have it

Neil Diamond, and to me it's not even close.

This is a great answer too, as well as Bon Jovi.

Lol. Chuck berry is the most underrated. People don't know this man's place in music history.

I'm not much for slagging bands, but ...

AMERICA has to be the numero uno most overrated band ever. They remind me of the folk singer in Animal House that Bluto had the good sense to destroy his guitar.

Hippie music that makes this 60's relic

Nirvana. Kurt Cobain is probably the most overrated musician of all time.

I have them as underrated. Who are these people rating them too highly and where?

Overrated:

Radiohead
Alice In Chains
Springsteen
Bonnie Raitt
Howard Jones
Jackson Browne
