 The Queers are vastly underrated. One of the greatest pop-punk bands and they have had no mainstream exposure. |

I've always felt Fastball (especialy their first album "All the Pain Money Can Buy") were HORRENDOUSLY underrated.

Just look at my signature.
Cinderella sang some great bluesy music as well as some of the best kick-ass rock songs.

 Thin Lizzy. Everyone knows the Boys Are Back in Town and Jailbreak....however, they had some amazing tunes.  Blind Melon. Everyone knows "No Rain"...as far as I'm concerned, it's one of their weaker tunes. Amazing, amazing group. When Shannon was alive. Their new shit isn't as good, IMHO. |

That's a goodun, then you can open up the most overrated punk band, Sex Pistols uhh I hate them, especially Johnny Rotten. Good call. I would say that the other way around, with Bad Brains being overrated and Pistols, especially John Lydon being underrated. Lydon was also the brains behind PiL, which was an even better band. The most underrated band of all time though is Red Crayola. |

Weezer is probably overrated, especially among college students. The Beach Boys? Pretty much everyone on Earth agrees that "Pet Sounds" is the second or third most influential rock album ever. New Found Glory? They basically suck. I'm going to go with the Arctic Monkeys. Wow, that was pretty much uncalled for in just about every way. And I don't see what "sucking", whether they do or not being entirely subjective, has to do with anything at all. |

In fairness, the thing about Weezer was kinda weird. I really don't think "Hash Pipe" was a bigger single than "Buddy Holly" or even "El Scorcho".

Could be. I don't think I've heard "Hash Pipe" since I heard it when it came out though. I never liked it, it's basically just "The Peter Gunn Theme" by Duane Eddy.

I love Hash Pipe...but it definitely is a Peter Gunn theme. Then again I like pretty much everything Weezer's done...yes, even Make Believe. I love that band way too much for it to be healthy. |

I've always liked Weezer, but for some reason I've never bought any of their stuff. My friend and I used to listen his copies of the first two records a lot when we were in high school though.

We all know that in the end Wezzer's best song is "In The Garage".  "Hash Pape" though, not that grand. |

I own all their albums...Pinkerton is my favourite by far. One of my top 10 favourite albums of all time, actually. I love it SO damn much. Every song is such a classic. |

If I was gonna buy one that would be it, no doubt. My girlfriend has it on her mp3 player though, so fortunately I do have access to it.

Yeah right. The Partridge Family was just a TV show version of bands like the Monkees.
