This thread made me think how easy it is to for anyone to say that a band is overrated or underated, more so when underground music is concerned.
Bands and artists like Nirvana, Beck, Dinosaur Jr etc come from that sort of enviroment and to different degrees they made it, if only as a cult band that becomes successful enough to sell out venues or sell a sizeble amount of records.
It's almost in the genetic make up of the underground music buying person to know a lot of names that gravitate around the same enviroment as those bands and didn't make it quite as much, even if they put out better quality records, which isn't always the case. Hence the general pointing out of certain bands' assumed worth and consequent arguments when disagreement ensues. Maybe.
