Willie Nelson is a good singer and song writer too. In fact, he has one of the most beautiful singing voices around in any genre. His album “Along the Borderline” is fantastic.

It's "Across the Borderline" but yes, a great record of Willie doing songs by Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Dylan, John Hiatt and others. One of the best records of the 90s.

As for the overrated issue, I've been hesitant to wade in because I think Dylan, Springsteen, The Who, and The Beatles do not fall into that category. U2 may now be underrated because they became so overrated. My personal choice for artist whose "popularity" far outweighs their actual contributions to rock is Nirvana. Certainly a lot of that is because Kurt Cobain is forever preserved in amber, with one commentator noting his role as "an abstract Generation X icon...viewed by many as the 'last real rock star.'" Too bad, cuz Dave Grohl should be the band member best remembered for his (continuing) contributions to the genre.
