I think it's ridiculous to suggest that classic rock can be either overrated or underrated. For every Led Zeppelin or Queen there's also bands like for example Nazareth or The Sensational Alex Harvey band. Bands who had a pretty sizeable following in the 70s who have been practically been forgotten about now.

That's a good point. I guess I'm just thinking about how whenever mainstream magazines do their 50 greatest rock bands of all time articles or whatever there's always a very noticeable bias toward the 60s and 70s for the bands that get included (The Beatles, The Stones, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, etc.). Maybe that's changing as more time goes by though.
