| Who do you think is the most criminally underrated band ever? Who do you think is the most rediculously overrated band ever?
My candidate for underrated is Galactic Cowboys. Great band that was so underrated it led to them calling it quits (among other reasons). As far as overrated goes I most certainly pick Lacuna Coil. Yeah Cristina Scabbia is hot and their music is O.K. but out of all the female fronted bands, they get way too much praise (at least here in the States). Now I am glad that their popularity has led to some great female fronted metal bands getting some mainstream attention but they are not THAT good. To me a lot of their songs sound so alike that it becomes boring. | |

| Overrated - Kiss (some good songs, but I just don't "get it")
Underrated - "Ripper" Owens era Iced Earth - they are just hammered on so much....and I LOVE the last two so.....
so many others can fit into this list both ways...but those come to mind... | |

| Most of the hard rock and heavy metal bands are underrated but ROLLING STONES, or U2 are overrated in my opinion. The mass hysteria made people buy and follow those two bands, thanks to the media. | |

| I can't list just one, so my tops would be:
UNDERRATED:
Chastain Dynasty Sirenia Bloodgood Ultimatum
OVERRATED:
AC/DC (I like them, but ...) Poison Motley Crue Aerosmith
that's not to say I don't like these bands ... just that they have received much more attention than they warrant. |

| Underrated - Enuff Z'Nuff never get their due they are one of the greatest pop bands of the 90's yet they rarely get any respect outside the hard rock/metal circle (music critics somehow not getting past the hippy glam image of the first album to listen). To me they rank up their with critics favourites Jellyfish, Redd Kross and Fountains Of Wayne as some of the best pop rock bands of the last 20 years. Overrated - Motley Crue, a band that gets by on nothing but image, famous girlfriends/wives, childish bad behaviour and press clippings. Too Fast For Love is brilliant ,half of Shout At The Devil is great and Motley's underatted S/T John Corabi effort is good but two and half good albums from the past 25 years is nothing to get your cowboy boots worked up about. As for King's X, their just one of those bands that go over peoples heads (excuse the pun). So some may call them the most overrated underrated band! | |

| E.X.E have been always very UNDERRATED. STRICKEN BY MIGHT is a classic in my opinion and a album that any HALLOWS EVE fans should own. | |

| Another very underrated metal band IMO is Samson. People just give all the attention to Iron Maiden, but Samson (with AND without Bruce Dickinson) have some killer songs that nobody seems to know about. |
