Overrated/underrated musicians and bands

I've always thought the Bee Gees were underrated. Everyone seems to remember the medallions and hairy chests but they wrote some great songs and also wrote for alot of world renowned artists.

Dr Hook always looked like they were enjoying themselves


Overrated
Leo Sayer
Always seemed to be singing someone else's songs. A couple of Roger Daltreys spring to mind.

Underrated
Albert Hammond.
Sprung to mind when I was thinking of Leo Sayer as he wrote "When I Need You".
Also wrote
Aswad Don't turn around
Hollies Air that I breathe
Julio and Willie To all the girls I loved before.

I also remember a court case where he got some sort of financial rights to Radioheads Creep.
