One band that were very underrated in the early 1970s were the Flamin Groovies, they put out songs like this.

Overrated: Wilco, apart from a couple of very good songs.
And, altough I still feel as if I'm not getting the point; Elliot Smith

I never liked Wilco. Some stuff, but pretty much...meh. But Elliott Smith? There is no way that he could be overrated. He was one of the most brilliant songwriters of recent times.

I can agree with that. Nevermind is a great album, but the rest of their catalog - not so much. Especially Incesticide. That album is just not good.

I've got to throw this one out there. The Rolling Stones. They have some good songs, but overall, their albums just aren't that great. They're not bad; just not groundbreaking or that unique. Don't get me wrong. Some Girls is a good album, and they had some great stuff in the 70's, but I just don't think they're that great.

I never really enjoyed Elliott Smith too much, I couldn't get past his voice. I do like his fingerpicking a lot though.

Why are my posts getting combined? I could understand if I posted them all in a row, but that is not the case. It's not a huge deal, but it's a bit annoying.

Overrated - Adele, here voice is amazing as almighty hell but her songwriting is just a regurgitation of every cliche that has come before her. If Frank Zappa was alive, I believe that he could fix her to be an incredible songwriter, or maybe he would just write for her I don't know.

Underrated - Zu, they have an astounding discography, and I can't stop listening to them. Another underrated artist is Marc Ribot. He has so much texture in his playing and he plays across the spectrum of musical styles, a gem for the music world indeed.

They were all right in a row. It was a triple post.
