Overrated: The legend and myth around Beethoven is verging on overshadowing the worth of his music. He is obviously one of history's greatest composers and one of my favorites, but he is treated almost as a god in the world of music, which I think is less than ideal. Also, I wholeheartedly agree on Zimmer! Underrated: I think Rimsky-Korsakov deserves more fame than he has. He's also underplayed compared with his contemporaries IMO. Something about his music is so charming and captivating to me, and I learned a lot from his book on orchestration.
