^ how are qotsa underrated?

i agree with erykah badu, though.

Whenever I hear about great modern day rock bands, no one ever mentions them and they, imo, are a phenomenal rock band.

Another underrated artist in my opinion is SWANS.

Underrated: Catena Collapse

JR Ewing, as well. Here, at least - maybe they're more appreciated elsewhere.

And definitely Dawn Treader.

Paramore...

You know what I'd say Joshee.

Ha ha Lucy you legend.
Yes Paramore sure do suck.

Overrated: Linkin Park?

Underrated: Sonata Arctica

Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Edguy, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, whatever.

Sonata's where it's at.

A dj at a local pop-centre here calls himself swans, his real name is Tonnie, so I can't really blame him...

And now ontopic: @O'Bannion I think that Qotsa don't get mentioned, because they are overrated. Stating them as a good band, is really stating obvious public opinion, they're an open door into rock music for lots of people, just like Linkin park, and stuff like that. Their music is actually quite original, but not, as you said, really genious.
