Most overrated: Isaac Azimov. Most underrated: Gene Wolfe.\nThis from Tom Disch, who calls Wolfe's award the \"least coveted of honors\"\nand praises TBOTNS as \"a tetrology of couth, intelligence and suavity that\nis also written in VistaVision with Dolby sound,\" continuing, \"Imagine a\nStar Wars--style space opera penned by G.K. Chesterton in the throes of a\nreligious conversion.\"\n\nYou may also be interested to know that they consulted Stephen King on the\nsubject of Rock Band. Most overrated: the Beatles (Only one real rock song,\nhe says, \"She Loves You\") Most underrated: Creedence Clearwater Revival for\nshort loud danceable tunes. Shake that booty, Steve!\n\n-alga"
