I love Be, but around here it's usually looked down upon. However RL is generally praised everywhere.

I would. It's when Pain of Salvation stopped being great.

BE is a top 3 PoS-album. Scarsick is really the only album I consider to be slightly weaker than the rest when it comes to PoS, and it still has some good songs.

No, that would be RS, even though they are still somewhat decent.

Most of the bands I would name have already been mentioned so Anathema, I guess.

I'd agree a bit in terms of newer Anathema. Don't get me wrong, this is nothing against WHBWH or WS, but it's almost sad how few talk about the older stuff. There's lots of gold that is just as good as the newer albums.

i think the newer albums are more well-constructed, though older albums are obviously awesome (Judgement especially)

I tried a few of the bands that get raved about on both mp.com and here. PT is okay but definitely nothing that gets me interested. Pain of Salvation is also okay and again, I get quite bored pretty quick. I cannot get past Opeth's growling vocals and Trivuum's screaming vocals. Circus Maximus is awesome even if they wear the DT influence on their sleeves. Angra was a huge surprise for me and I loved them. And finally Blind Guardian is probably the best recommendation I have ever had

I wouldn't say that. There's a minor, but vocal, fanbase here but the only people who talk about them is the same 6-7 people.

I just wrote this off to the fact that Steven Wilson was involved in WHBWH, so to many people, that instantly becomes the best point to start wanking off over their material.

As much as I like SW, this effect is not always good.  :lol

Curses, foiled again!

Serious answer time of bands I actually think are overrated:

Anathema: WHBWH has some good songs, and so does WS, but the majority of the latter is pretty boring (and either the second or third track is a definite rip-off of "Season's End" by Marillion.  I keep on wanting to sing along to that when it comes on).  Judgment is a pretty cool guy though, but that doesn't mean they're the best evar.

Metallica: I understand their contributions to metal and rock and all that, but the early stuff outside of RtL and most of MoP doesn't really interest me. 

Queensryche: I love Operation: Mindcrime and like Empire a lot, but I don't see the appeal of those other early albums that made people love them so much. 

A year or so ago I would have said PoS or Symphony X as well but discussion about them seems to have decreased sharply in the last year and a half or so. 

Addicted! is totally overrated here. To an obscene amount.

I agree. It's probably my least favorite Project-album. Still good though.

No he doesn't.

I don't follow the thread that much so that might be true. I still think people that like this band a lot overrate it.

Rush & Yes.  Both bands have produced absolutely fantastic music, but there's also a significant amount of crap to wade through.

Rush has the lowest crap ratio of any band ever.  But maybe Fountain of Lamneth counts...

So much this, although I haven't listened to that much Yes, so that might be a problem of picking tracks.

Really??? Probably not as boring as Kayo Dot though, right?

Not nearly as cool as post-ironic beardcore.
