Top 10 Bands that Don't Deserve to Be on the "Most Underrated Metal Bands of the 21st Century" List

I didn't make this list because I hate these bands (I actually think some of them are pretty talented). I made it for two reasons.
1) They're not actually metal bands. 2) They're not underrated either. In fact, they're just as famous as today's awful pop and rap artists. They're just not as highly popular as them.


In my opinion, actual underrated bands (as well as actual metal bands) that are way more deserving to be in the Top 10 of the list are Blind Guardian, Helloween, Iced Earth, and many others.

Also, keep in mind that there's nothing wrong with liking these bands. Everyone has their own preferences and music (as well as all forms of art) is subjective. Like I said before, they don't really deserve the Top 10 of the list because they're not really underrated.
