I'm gonna second Dimebag. He was a solid player, but I think the main reason he gets so much recognition is because he died young, much like Kurt Cobain.
Tosin Abasi deserves all the recognition he gets because he's seriously just amazing.
I respect your opinion but:
1. He wrote some of the most memorable riffs in the history of rock.
2. He had a very unique style of playing, from 1992 onward no one sounded like him.
3. Ever try playing his solos? His very own (yet again) and some classic solos as well - they're a pain to cover but great to listen to.
4. Kurt Cobain gets attention because he looks pretty, like bubble gum wrap.
Seriously, I don't see how Dimebag is overrated, he's an immensely influential player, very well rounded.
