Madonna got exalted by Deconstructionists & PostModernists as being Relevant w/out being Musical - & I think she did influence the Brittney Spears & Dance Pop a lot. Like the Sonic Youth talk the previous week - I think her time is just Not Now. Was said Sonic Youth saved the Guitar from 1,000 TV commercials just by tuning it differently...but Now we are in a whole different phase in Time & Culture in terms of what Guitar means...
The doors - surely overrated by Iggy & Bowie & the Bunnymen, ferinstance - but nevermind that one again...Bad Religion! Nice.

Anybody Really Popular is overrated compared to deserving LesserKnowns. That makes the Beatles the most Overrated Ever by default. They might also be - Rated Incorrectly - for the wrong things in misunderstood ways...Springsteen gets a lot of that, ferinstance...

Intelligent lyrics: Elvis Costello's prime is hard to top, though that Zimmerman guy was OK
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
If you say SRV rivaled Hendrix - that's overrated. I loved seeing him tho' - not hugely original (it is Blues, after all) - but he dug deep every time he played.
Ringo is a Cramps fan - he knows! Take Richard Thompson - rated superhigh by us - under-recognized as the Treasure he is by most everyone...
Chuck a genius poet. Oh - I read 'Wilco' as 'TheWho' - I was gonna get physical...Elvis C. intelligent awlright - sometimes I hear him writing a littel self-consciously, but Classic. Good catch.
