overrated or underrated is the test of time. How well it holds up to the hype. That test has occurred. Those bands either held up or they didn't. These polls would make sense in 1984. Today they are just dumb.

Radio play is mostly politics. It could have been a great album but radio play

Conversely, the Who is probably under rated when compared to them.

If you're still wondering how a band is rated 30 years later, they did something right to still be relevant.
