What a needed topic.

Overrated: Nickleback
Underrated: Rottrevore, simpley because I'm listening to them right now.

 

[King Richard]

I think you guys need to change your answers for "overrated." This is finally, and officially the "Metal" discussion board.

 

[Mort Divine]

I'm well aware, but whatever, I'm not the one starting the thread.

 

[King Richard]

Don't take offense. I was just being a bandwagoner (aka sarcastic) just like the rest of the board. DON'T POST THAT ITS NOT METAL!!! STICK TO THE FUCKING TOPIC!!! THIS IS THE METAL BOARD RAAAAAAAAH!

Getting annoying if you ask me.

 

[Zephyrus]

I try not to take that question into consideration too often. I judge a band by my own tastes, regardless of their fame or lack of fame.

Over rated - Arch enemy
Underrated - ? gotta think about that one

 

[~Neurotica]

Overrated - Dimmu Borgir, CC and COB
Underrated - uumm... Devildriver?...

 

[cookiecutter]

Over rated - Arch enemy

Definitely. People like this band because their is a chick singing and it is death metal lite for the mtv kiddies. Michael Amott is amazing but I'd much rather listen to Carcass.

overrated - most popular bands
underrated - most good bands

I'm surprised no one mentioned Metallica as overrated (after all, their first five albums were metal).

 

[audiophileguy]

first two albums were good and they sucked afterwards

 

[Valerie]

Overrated: Type O Negative
Underrated: Mors Principium Est

We have this discussion every month or so, and it's usually stupid because of how completely relative the terms underrated and overrated are. The only realistic way to discuss the issue is in terms of what bands are over- and underrated on this forum.

On this forum I think graveland is overrated, personally I like Bathory better

Underrated for this forum would be in flames. A lot of people say they are shit now, but I enjoy all of their material, despite the shit vocals.
