Overrated/underrated musicians and bands

[OB1]

Fountains of light is very good

I really like all their first three albums. Never got the fourth; hopefully someone will release it on cd again.

Starcastle are very good, the American Yes.
Better than the later Yes. (Not 70s Yes)

Similarly Eloy, the German Pink Floyd are better imo than the overrated Pink Floyd.

Starcastle were more Yes than Yes at times. Their best material matches up well to a lot of Yes; although I do think Yes' classic material is peerless prog.

Yes, Close to the Edge, Yes Album, Relayer. As you say peerless.

Never got all the fuss about Pink Floyd tbh and yes I have listened to them. Just leaves me cold, it seems to be technically very proficient but devoid of soul

I do love TFTO, Fragile especially Going for the One too.

Hadn’t seen this thread before, but pleased I’ve found it, just having a really enjoyable read through. Nirvana.

I love Within Temptation. Twice postponed gig already now have to wait for October 2021 with Evanescence.

I didn't get Elvis until I saw one of those videos that showed the biggest selling single of each year, and my God, pre-Elvis popular music was fucking awful.
