Radiohead is overrated in the sense that they are nowhere near the status of "best band of the last 15 years" moniker, I do enjoy The Bends though, i think it's a better record then OK Computer
Alot of noise on record isn't my tastes, i prefer it in a live setting, like The New Blockaders and Haters lp was good and all, but not mind blowing as they were live, you don't get the same ferocity on record
i think alot of the Bay Area scene is really underrated, I mean every knows Deerhoof and Xiu Xiu, but after that people forget about Numbers, The Coachwhips, and Erase Errata who I think are maybe of the best bands out there right now
also too criminally under looked are Helium/Mary Timony Band, The Posies, The Muffs, Visqueen, and Gumball
