Most over-rated and under-rated

After going through the article posted by Amit on 10 best male singers, we all were surprised to see some names there, as well as some names missing from there... Naturally, we all have our take on the most over-rated and under-rated singers, musicians and lyricists... Would like to know your opinion on this...

I also think that we should differentiate the golden era from the current era... so, it would be nice to know the opinion for both....

From the golden era as well as from the current era (we can take that as 1990 and beyond), who - according to you has been

1. The most overrated male playback singer
2. The most underrated male playback singer
3. The most overrated female playback singer
4. The most underrated female playback singer
5. The most overrated music-director
6. The most underrated music-director
7. The most overrated lyricist
8. The most underrated lyricist
9. The most overrated musical album (movies)
10. The most underrated musical album (movies)

Well, I agree I like Ashaji's voice more, but there are plenty of jems of Lataji what we cannot overlook.There are some songs only she could do justice too and to me she never sounded khokhla...
