The Most Underrated / Overrated Music

kubrik's the shining - overrated

Zeigenbock Kopf is way underrated. Best thing I've heard from Tigerbeat6.

I also think that Aphex Twin is a bit overrated. And so is The Shining.

J Saul Kane as 'The Octagon Man'

No one ever seems to mention anything to do with J Saul Kane, who is a pioneer/demigod in electronic music as far as I'm concerned, especially his 'Octagon Man' work (Depth Charge floors too mind). It's a travesty people don't ever bring him up, or maybe aren't even aware of his work, but if you have even the slightest inkling like for 70s electronic scores, john carpenter, drexciya, afx , electro, get on the fucking case will ya!

Get the album 'Ito Calculus' end of. One of my alltime favourite albums ever.

MDK is another one people don't really talk about much, some of his work on spymania is up there with Tom Jenkinson, if not better imo.

Why would you want to smoke something that will make you think Kraftwerk are overrated?

so i can listen to them again and rediscover how good they are.

it's a pretty cool film you guys.

The acting is great, the directing is astounding, the writing is at decent at worst.

But it's somehow still a boring piece of shit.

lol, you should read the piece of shit it's based on.

Lopez: there are only three albums to check out, they're all good. But if you have to pick just one, I'd say go with "Tryshasla"

Philip Jeck is a fabulous musician, one of the best (all genres) around, quite underrated i think.
