Underrated? mm that's a good one, all down to opinion I suppose, I rate tons of artists no one has ever heard of just because it's part of my collection but of those that people would possibly know I'd say :
Rush Barclay James Harvest Stackridge / Korgis Garbage The Cult Dire Straits

Very true, all subjective innit. I'd like to put forward Van Halen & Def Leppard but it's harder to make a case for being under rated / under appreciated with their level of album sales. Like many on here I listed acts that haven't had the commercial success I think they deserved.

And of the overrated variety I'd say :
Queen Pink Floyd Bon Jovi The Jam Radiohead
Agree with Rush & BJH who were superb live, one of the most 'clinical' sounding live bands ever imo I would add Ted Nugent to the underrated list - top heedbanger
Agree with your overratings and would add U2 to the list - probably won't get much support for that but I really can't see what all the fuss is about !

Korgis? Definitely underrated Queen? Ouch! One of the finest groups of all time in my opinion.

Opinions eh?
Yeah sorry Wildthing, Queen just never done it for me. Don't mind a bit of the early Rockier stuff but I just feel they've been overrated and over hyped over time. I was brought up on The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Hollies and influenced a lot by my dad's collection so having a big interest from being a little kid I heard loads of stuff. I religiously watched TOTP, listened to the charts on a Sunday and the new one on Tuesday lunchtime at school and from then on just bought and bought anything and everything. Aside from my beloved Wakefield Trinity, music has been and always will be my biggest love in life and to have it as a career is an absolute joy every day.

I don't feel so bad about saying it now, looks like Vasty and King Street are with me all the way on Queen. Talk about stirring up a hornet's nest, this debate goes on everywhere about Queen, even our kid loves 'em goodness knows why, I've been trying to get him into some quality for years!
