i think both are alright

no need to go into merits - they're both great party music

not for something you listen to intently and try to over-analyse their music

I don't really over-analyse when listening to their music. It's both just kinda "eh" sounding. Just giving reasons why I don't like "party music". :P

Well sorry, Gee, but your portentous, pretentious, tasteless, vaudevillian, overblown nonsense says nothing to me about my life), Primal Scream, The Rapture, The Gossip, Daft Punk, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains (mediocre metal band lucky enough to be from seattle during the grunge explosion) and, above all Rage Against The Machine (god, they suck)

Underrated: The Verve (criminally), Dredg (basically, Pink Floyd, but tuneful and with a real singer), The Jam (in America), Pavement (commercially), Dido (by critics), Dire Straits, Pulp (Blur, but good), Barenaked Ladies, Soundgarden, Joy Division, Outkast
That's quite a list. You really don't have a high opinion of a lot of bands. I think I should point out that a lot of the bands you listed in your underrated list wouldn't exist if it weren't for some of the bands in your overrated list (like Pink Floyd and Dredg). Soundgarden are still fairly popular to this day. Joy Division is kind of universally accepted as an amazing band to those who have heard them.

Oh, and while I agree that it's weird Blur was pitted against Oasis, it's because Oasis blows... Not the other way around. Blur was/is amazing.

The Flaming Lips, over the top production? They're multi-layered but I wouldn't say they're over the top. Psychedelic more than anything. I don't know about America but they hardly get any attention here.

Since when are Gossip overrated? They never get any attention at all.

Also, I agree about Prince. I can't believe he's sold any record at all, to be honest. I've never understood why people liked his music.

And what in the world is so under-rate about Dire Straits? Weird Al made a parody of one of their songs, Money for Nothing->Beverly Hillbillies. It pretty much tells you a band made the big times if Wierd Al is going to turn one of thier songs into a parody. And that is like 1,000,000 times better than being on the cover of Rolling Stones and by the way Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits made it on the cover anyway, it pretty much shows that RS and mainstream critics was giving them recognition and not ignoring them which would make them under-rated.
