If your bands singer dies young, you become instantly overrated.

This is so much a matter of taste so over/underrated really means nothing. With sports, you have results and stats to play with. Music is just a preference. That said:

Overrated: Aerosmith
Underrated: Depeche Mode

Like your list man. Disagree only with your saying U2 is overrated. They've been around for over 2 decades and still putting out quality music.

But totally agree with your underrated list. Radiohead's early stuff is still on my continuous rotation.

Quick question - how'd you come up with your user name?

Not sure how Radiohead and Pearl Jam can be considered underrated considering everytime they're on tour tickets sell out in minutes.

just basically saying that everytime a band of the 90's is spoken of, NIRVANA always get the nudge and they are no where near the band pearl jam is IMO. But , yes , they do sell out quick, but mostly to the following they have from the early 90's.

Underrated: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Recent stuff nowhere as good as the older stuff, but they've been cranking along for over about 30 years as well.
