Hmmm... then that begs the question, Anthony...

What artist or band walks the thin line between being less overrated and just plain underrated? Or does such banal wordplay merit an answer?

And, I apologize for scaring you Andrew. The guy that I was thinking of was Warren Zevon, sadly, who I guess kind of looks like the World Party guy a bit. http://www.warrenzevon.com

maria, Zevon hasn't died yet, but his cancer is terminal. He's releasing a last album next month (The Wind), a bittersweet thought really.

Only one I can think of is LL Cool J, Maria B.

LOL! I'll have to second that Anthony. Actually, this question might make for an interesting thread.

Actually. I meant that as a compliment. I dig both XTC and World Party. In fact: Me, Karl Wallinger and one other person comprise the World Party fan club in its entirety.
