________ is underrated
With all this talk about radiohead and The boss being overrated who do you guys think is underrated?
I will start my vote with Neutral Milk Hotel. One of the greatest Indie bands of the 90s. Quote:

Queen. No one respects those guys.
Seriously, though, I'm a big fan of Electric Six. They often miss the nail they are trying to whack on the head, but a lot of their songs are really fucking good, and they don't seem to get too much credit. They're good if you're into their kind of "fun" shit. Danger! High Voltage, Dance Commander, Synthesizer, Down at McDonnelzz, Gay Bar and I'm the Bomb are all pretty good, I think. Rubber Rocket, Improper Dancing and Let's Go Out Tonight (sort of) are pretty decent, too. I don't think E6 are for everyone, though. |

Electric Six is fucking awesome. Aside from the comedic aspect of their stuff, the music itself is pretty good.

Mars Volta
Mudhoney The Fall Presidents of the USA M.I.A Joe Cocker Meg White Icarus Line Talking Heads Earth Wind and Fire Acid House Some of those may be rated well already, but in my opinion, are still underrated to their value. |

Seems like with indie music either you haven't heard of it and therefore it's awesome or the band is on their second album so they must not be good anymore. Hard to tell what it's "rating" is.
I support most of Fab's list. I will say Jackyl, The Avalanches, Tesla, and John 5. |

Just because it's taken 4 years for the mainstream press to catch on, doesn't mean she isn't underrated. Her albums have hardly sold that well, and I don't see her headlining Coachella this weekend... She played in the afternoon in one of the tents. Rated by the press, but still underrated as far as the mass market knowledge of her goes. Can't believe I forgot Winnebago Deal. Most underrated band ever. Check them the fuck out!!! |

The Melvins (one of the most important bands of the last 20 years, influencing many different bands from Nirvana, to Tool, to Dillinger Escape Plan)
Clutch (Perhaps the best Rhythm Section in all of Hard Rock, and the best lyrics) The Swans (NY's post punk band that came from the same scene as Sonic Youth and the Pixies, but were utterly heavy and sinister. One of the early Pioneers of Sludge Metal, alongside Later Black Flag) Death (Chuck Shuldiner was one of the best guitarists known to man.) Acid Bath (Dax Riggs' early band, equal parts Grindcore and Sludge-Metal and containing the most evil lyrics ever heard to that point. Dax's range was mind-blowing as he could scream like a hell-spawn one moment and sing in his dark, bluesy style the next. And he made it work. Members have gone on to form Deadboy and the Elephantmen as well as Goatwhore.) |

I said in the first place that some of them may be well recieved generally, but in my opinion should be appreciated further. Thus making them underrated in my eyes. |

Just kidding. Serious, I don't see anyone voting their favourites. I can see the argument for nearly all the suggestions so far. |

Certainly more than the Stone Coyotes, who I mention ten times a week, or The Who, or contemporaries Mission of Burma, or... I kid, of course. Though if we are listing only our favorites, I'd like to bring up Bowie, Queen, and Led Zepplin. these poor underrated artists deserve some critical praise for once! |

There are countless Prog Metal bands I love that seem to go by unnoticed by everyone, but I won't bother considering them "underrated" since they're playing a fairly niche musical genre in the first place. With that said though, I love Andromeda and they're pretty much unheard of. |
