Pick an album you feel is overrated and underrated from the last 5 decades

[CRAZY-HORSE]

I think both Pet Sounds, & Sgt Pepper are over-rated.

They both contain some good material, but both also contain some distinctly average songs. Not nearly strong enough to convince me that these two are amongst the best ever recorded.

Of course, it's all subjective...

i have both albums, as i guess a lot of people here do. i havent heard "pet sounds" for some time now but i remember thinking last time i played it that it is just an average 1960s album with one great song in "god only knows", i thought i thought the same about "sgt.peppers" but it surprised me by getting around 2.7 when i reviewed it a while ago.
i think both albums sound dated and stuck in the era they were made and that in my opinion discounts them from being rated so highly in those "all time best of" lists, great albums IMO stand the test of time for the following reasons:
1. stands the test of time to sound relevant in the modern age
2. be good enough to sound 'fresh and alive' in 2011.

IMO the Beach Boys were a great singles band but failed to hit the mark with albums, all the Beatles albums bar "sgt peppers" and "let it be" are classics and have the two qualities listed above.
