We had a thread like this on the old board. I tried searching for something like this, but the closest thing I could find was a thread on overrated stuff.
Underrated: Abandoned Pools. I remember this band (actually just a vehicle for Tommy Walter) had a couple minor hits in the early part of the decade (2001-02), and everyone said they would be huge, but they kinda went nowhere. My ears keep trying to tell me they're nothing more than an overproduced pop-punk band, but...I dunno, I like them anyway.
Overrated: I've said this before, and I've gotten ripped a new one on here for it, but I'll say it again (and probably get another new one ripped): Tom Waits. Maybe I haven't heard the right songs, but I just don't understand why he's so revered in the underground. He just sounds to me like someone who smokes a carton of cigarettes before entering the recording booth, and the studio he's in doesn't have a single piece of equipment made before 1970.
