Like I said, "I think there is some truth" in saying he is overrated. I'm not a huge fan and I don't find him to be enormously influential. But, I do love all of those songs I linked to and I disagree that without Warhol there is no Velvet Underground. Is he overrated? Yes. Does he deserve some acclaim for writing and recording some great music? Yes. That's about where I stand regarding Lou Reed.
In my opinion, the most overrated band of all time is the Doors.
