Overrated: Nevermind (Nirvana) A solid album but it lacks any kind of depth to make it an interesting listen, and is not deserving of being rates above In Utero, which featured better song writing and larger variety.
The White Album (Beatles) A great album but one that people seem hesitant to criticize due to the band attached to it. It's self-indulgent, long-winded, and has a mountain range of quality song writing (Compare Wild Honey Pie or Revolution 9 to Dear Prudence or Hapiness is a Warm Gun)
Appetite for Destruction (Guns n Roses) A few good singles, a bunch of annoying filler. A compilation of uninteresting songs with an obnoxious front man finds its way in the top 100?
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Kaye West) Great production enveloping mediocre lyrics and sometimes awful singing, this album doesn't reach the heights of West's first two albums in thematic or lyrical ability.
Lots more, like Oasis, Odyssey and Oracle, ACDC etc but those are some I feel strongest about.
Underrated: Long Season (Fishmans) I understand that it can be hard to get in to foreign music, but the combination of great bass lines and catchy vocal melodies make it a hidden gem.
Slow Riot EP (Godspeed You! Black Emporer) EPs struggle to capture the emotional heights albums can, but the music is so great it should be viewed amongst the best albums.
And everything by Kyuss (obviously)

Good call on Blow By Blow, one of the best instrumental albums ever and one of the best guitar albums ever.

Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada is the best thing Godspeed You! Black Emperor (one of my favourite groups) ever put out. Would probably be in my top 20 of all time if I allowed EPs on there, but honestly, unless the site finds a way to saparate EPs and LPs I don't wanna mix them. And Kyuss is criminally underrated here too. Welcome to Sky Valley deserves to be in the top 500, if not at least the top 1000.

And a little comment on Odessey and Oracle. I don't get the appeal of it. It's some decent 1960's pop, but it really lacks personality.
