I often get that reaction from metallers who instantly dismiss the vocal style or think they are just too nu metal to count for much.
Seriously though, I reckon they are genius

This thread is really interesting, because half the time I read the 'under' and go "who?". Which gets me thinking.... (always dangerous).

Don't make me get the hose...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Masters were brilliant in every respect. I also bask in the brilliance and sheer oddity of the Loved Ones. Comparing is like favoring a Porsche over a Ferrari. Just enjoy them both to the max.

We seem to keep on getting these fishing types who cite The Beatles as over rated.

I would have thought we get it already

[Dismord]

Overrated: All white boy 1950's Rock & Roll.
Underrated: Just about all genuine blues.
I beginning to wonder though what we mean by 'Overrated' & 'Underrated'. By whom? The market place, the critics, audiophools or musicians?

*couldn't really think of anyone like GSH. His overt political stances and fast paced spoken word/poetry has had a huge influence on rap. I almost put down Michael Franti (Spearhead/Disposable Heroes of Hypocracy) as MF has borrowed so much from GSH and is certainly more well known to Gen X's. However MF is hardly a household name and a fine artist in his own right. But if you like MF and haven't heard GSH it would be a crime. And if you like GSH check out Spearhead & Michael Franti. A great A/B is GSH's 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' against the Disposable Heroes of Hypocracy's 'TV the Drug of a Nation' - easily YouTubed

[mikey d]

Hey Houdi, I love GSH (just finished reading his memoir, "The Last Holiday", which is largely a tribute to Stevie Wonder). Most of the artists mentioned are not even close to being in the same league of GSH. I also love Franti. The interesting thing that I find, is like Malcolm X, both started as angry young men & then with age & wisdom, started sharing a universal message of righteous peace & love. It happens to all of us, hopefully. One could never overestimate the genius of Stevie though.

It's funny how subjective and relative this is. I grew up in a family where "Elvis sucks" and I never took his music seriously for a second. A few weeks back someone played one of his earlier records at a GTG and I really enjoyed it. So clearly I had personally underrated Elvis (and many artists) based on bullheaded personal bias. The other sin I have been guilty of in the past is righting artists off who were "too popular". Pretty ironic how for some being "open minded" means trying what everyone else is doing...without smug sarcasm!

Very similar experience here, Dad was a Sinatra and Sammy David Jr fan and Mum was into brit pop ie Sandy Shaw. I never really listened to Elvis until several years ago when I met Christine who's mother was a huge Elvis fan.
