You sound insecure and defensive tbh.
There are probably loads of underrated musicians out there I'm not even aware of, but for me I feel like Kodaline are a bit underrated. They've been in the charts a bit and stuff, but they have a lot of good songs that have gone largely unnoticed (in this country anyway; they're apparently bigger in Ireland).

Not sure for overrated.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL.


WOW.

That's Bad. I'm speechless. Funny thing is musicians don't really care about us, and some tell us to Beat it when we try and meet up with them.
