Underrated/Overrated

Post the first couple of things off the top of your head
that you think are underrated and do the same with things
you think are overrated.

Underrated:
Nada Surf - My favorite rock band, if you have only heard
the song popular, do youself a favor and d/l or buy an album
of theirs, particularly the new one, The Weight is a Gift.

Super Nintendo - Best RPG's of all time, they won't get any
better, ever, i.e. FF2, FF3, Chrono Trigger, Secret of
Mana.

Stephen King - Much more than just a horror story writer.

Overrated:

Autechre - Don't flame me please :P, I just don't enjoy them
as much as the other big ones - AFX, SP, BOC, even Plaid.

The Empire Strikes Back - Don't get me wrong, I love it of
course, but better than the original Star Wars? Nope!

Chrono Cross on Playstation - The sequal to Chrono Trigger
sucks a big one in my opinion, but many people think its one
of the greatest games ever. Not me. Forgetful characters,
hardly any weapon/armor customization, just bland all
around.

Those are my opinions at the moment - what are yours?

I was going to put women on my overrated list, but that's
easy to do when I don't currently have a girlfriend, but
when I do have one I'd probably say they are underrated.

r40f - usually my opinions aren't very popular.

Combo - the B-Side release was sold at their concerts so I'm
not totally sure if you will be able to find it, but good
luck on that because it's pretty damn good.

I know Stephen King gets a lot of admiration, but I think
some people might write him off as not being an excellent
writer/storyteller because he writes mainly horror stories.


I read his short story(Almost 200 pages long) "The Mist"
while on an airplane and couldn't put it down simply because
of his character development. The main characters in that
story seem real and they are in this crazy, crazy situation.
I couldn't put it down, but a lot of his stories are like
that.

But you are right as in he probably not exactly underrated.

Yeah totally agreed.

I just started up Chrono Trigger again and that is just a
much more enjoyable game in every way.

I will also concur that Chrono Chross is horrible... i
bought it thinking "it's made by Square and it's the sequal
to Chrono Trigger - must be DY-NO-MITE!" oh how wrong
I was.
