me: Overrated Mariah Carey. Underrated Guadalcanal Diary
I can’t for the life of me understand the appeal of U2. Like there are TONS of people out there who would probably tell you U2 is their favorite band, or at least would have at one time. I’m not a musician so I don’t get hung up on technical “talent”, maybe these guys are super talented and it just doesn’t register with me. I’m just looking for catchy songs that I want to sing along to. And U2…. it’s not like I’m like “they’re decidedly BAD”, but I couldn’t name you a single song that viscerally affects me, you know? I don’t know, just their big singles, I can’t imagine being like “I want to play this over and over and over until I’m sick of it.”
Underrated: I’d probably go with Conway The Machine. I know rap isn’t for everyone, especially hardcore gangsta rap like he makes, but this guy’s wordplay and flow is incredible…. and he got shot in the head and his face and mouth is all twisted up from Bell’s Palsy as a result, and he’s STILL RIDICULOUS. You can hear it in his speech but he’s still just so good, in my opinion.
Oh my god…. his metaphors with gun/drug talk and pro athletes/jersey numbers are BANANAS

My god…. even better because Jeff Hostetler is such an obscure footnote in NFL history…. but he was the backup quarterback who filled in for Phil Simms in that Giants-Bills Super Bowl in like 1990, and won. He wore #15 for the Giants, so Conway got them quarter-bricks for $15k, haha

I always preferred Mariah Carey so much more before she went into hip-hop.
Overrated/underrated is generally not the way I think, but I really don't understand the appeal of Meghan Trainor. Especially that song, "All About That Bass" sounds so grating to my ears and makes me irritable.
Underrated to me is Guillaume de Machaut. He was such an influential figure in 13th century Western music but I didn't even see his name mentioned when I studied music history. It wasn't until I specifically started to study about the music of the Middle Ages that I discovered him.
