I find Taylor Swift to be underrated. Music snobs dismiss her as just a ‘pop star’ but there is genius songwriting in many of her songs

Candles is a great song

The original 1983 recording or the 1988 re-recording?

He re-recorded some of his best songs including Candles for the 1988 compilation album New Light through Old Windows.  I prefer the more polished 1988 version.

Not seeing how she could be underrated considering most people can't avoid her at the moment.

The Thompson Twins (they weren't twins, and there were three of them)

They were big for a while in the mid 80s, but then kind of got forgotten about. I think their stuff is dating quite well.
