You try, it's fun

i love this thread you have started and the obvious discussion that a couple of your answers are/have already given but........

my opinion differs to yours and is along the same lines as Gryphon when describing the Beatles albums as being overrated!

likewise from the 1970's...."whats going on", i felt it was a landmark achievement for social and political comment by a "black" artist from a "black man's" point of view.

1980's....it wasnt just The Joshua Tree that was underrated IMHO as i feel 90% of U2's material and status in music is grossly overrated!!!

1990's....Oasis basically spearheaded Britpop with their first two albums and inspired many a young band from the UK from '95/'96 onwards,
i felt they also gave so-called "safe" music the kick in the arse it needed as music was going nowhere between 88-94, i also feel they were as important to music back in the day as the Sex Pistols were back in 1977.

still on the 1990's....the Finn Brothers have been considered underrated by the general public since their earliest days in Split Enz...but thanks for acknowledging their "underrated" tag!!!


BRAVO!!! for starting an interesting and thoughtprovoking thread my friend!
