I did like Black and Blue. Several memorable songs on that one.The Stones haven't put out a decent album since '72, but before that...

My list
Underrated: Over the Rhine, October Project, Pete Droge, Lisa Mitchell, Nerina Pallot, Eric Burdon
Overrated: Stones, Bret Michaels/Poisson(sp?)...although he is a nice guy, The Kinks (I like some of their songs, but they get put on a pedestal almost as high as Beatles and The Who and they weren't even in the major leagues)
As far as Aerosmith, I always thought there were what they were. A good performing band. Good for teenage boys like me to rock out to, but they never pretended to be "the best band ever".

I don't recall if I talked about Aerosmith before or not. Some I liked, in the same way you seem to, some was pure waste.Endymion9 wrote: As far as Aerosmith, I always thought there were what they were. A good performing band.

BUT: "Rocks" absolutely ROCKS. Must live on everyones Top 10 hard list.
Poison definitely over-rated. Poison is what you get when you take the average of the worst and best of the period and genre.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Echo and the Bunnymen are probably the most underrated band I can think of, particularly their work on "flowers" and "siberia."

I quit buying Echo & the Bunnymen cd's after Reverberation, because I couldn't get into their new singer. Recently I bought a 2001 dvd and found out that Ian McCulloch came back after that, but I haven't bought any of the newer cd's yet.....but yes, definitely an underrated band.

I remember at school, a friend who was an Echo-fanatic kept buying bootleg concert tapes- never could understand it.
Then (a few years ago) I bought their 'live in liverpool' CD and seen them a couple of times play at festivals. They know how to perform!
