Stansbury has a sleeper squad this year..hope the BMs keep them as healthy dogs..their results to date suggest the rebuild is on schedule.

i agree....stansbury is a great recruiter and this years squad is very very very young and i think they can make some noise.....so far, so good...

Seems all the Over rates bands are the successful one and the under rated ones are lesser known.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Now if you want to know what a REALLY Over rated band was, more so at the time than right now, you need no better example than CREED.<o></o>

I like all three, (well not so much Jewel anymore)....I think they are overrated. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan of Prince but I don't think he is given near the credit he is due...man is a genious and phenom talent.

 

[Journeyman]

Jimmy Buffett ridiculously overrated

 

[Fishhead]

Love The Bends and OK Computer..still in high rotation for me..as is most Brit Rock.

Not as into Pearl Jam as once was, but yes, they and Radiohead are monster tour acts..tickets gone in a flash.

Augie, Fish refers of George Thorogood's band..
