I may be a bit biased because I truly just do not like this band, but I personally think that Blink-182 is extremely overrated.

A band that I think is highly underrated is Lord Huron. I know it's like, complete opposite end of the spectrum for genres than blink but it's just awesome music and idk a lot of people who know of them.

...Who DO YOU THINK are the most overrated and underrated musicians/bands?
(except for Dave2112...yes, we KNOW Rush is the greatest band that have ever been born of cosmic sperm. NO we don't wanna hear about it for the 87,000th time, lol).

You really can't overstate the brilliance of Rush, though.
