Over Rated | Under Rated - What do you think ??

Post by f.sciarrillo »

O.k I thought I would start a Over Rated | Under Rated thread. In this you just have to say what you think is over rated and then something that is under rated of the same genre.

It can be anything; Music, Tv or movies, Musical Instruments, cars, people, etc. . I'll start:

Music:

Over Rated - Led Zepplin
Under Rated - Pink Floyd

Over Rated - Nirvana
Under Rated - Soundgarden
Music Rocks!

Overrated: the tendency on this forum to call Cliff Burton & Kirk Hammet overrated.

Underrated: the ability to give credit where its due, even if admitting it won't make you cool for being the hip guy that bucks the trend.

I think Cliff's a good player, but I don't think he deserves the "Jaco of Metal" status that people seem to bestow upon him. Again, I think that David Ellefson is every bit as good, but doesn't get the same recognition because he doesn't have the "Burton Mystique" and Megadeth didn't get the same mainstream popularity that Metallica did. His bass work in Take No Prisoners slams!
