Here is my list of the 10 most overrated and underrated conductors:
10 Underrated Conductors:
Eugen Szenkar (German),Leo Borchard (Austrian) Oswald Kabasta (Austrian),Zdenek Chalabala (Czech),Roger Desormiere (French),Issay Dobrowen (Russian),Vittorio Gui (Italian),Vittorio Negri (Italian),Nello Santi (Italian), Witold Rowicki (Polish)
Of course there are many more obscure, forgotten names so the above list are merely all the conductors I consider to be of the front rank. It is not exhaustive.

10 Overrated Coductors:
Solti (Hungarian),Barbirolli (British/Italian),Previn (German/American,) Mehta (Indian/Jewish),Tilson Thomas (US), Stokowski (British), Colin Davis (British), John Pritchard (British), Welser-Most (Austrian), Leonard Slatkin US), Haitink (Dutch).
