Most of the bands in this thread have sold a lot of albums, I wouldn't call any of them underrated if we've all heard of them.
An underrated band doesn't get any publicity even though the music is good and doesn't sell many albums.
The guy that helped produce Beck's 'Mellow Gold' recorded a concept album called 'Forest For The Trees' in 1993.
It wasn't released until 1997 and still was a little ahead of it's time and didn't sell well at all because of bad promotion.
Even though it sounded kind of campy sober it was a work of genius when heard tripping, which few people tried.
The CD is on amazon for $.01 + $2.98 shipping. Now that's underrated.
Dreamworks Records shelved FFTT's second album and dropped tour support. 
Maybe 'underrated' = 'no one likes them but me'

Catalysts to say what has never been said, to see what has never been seen. To draw, paint, sing, sculpt, dance and act what has never before been done. To push the envelope of creativity and language. And whats really important is, I call it, the felt presence of direct experience. Which is a fancy term which just simply means we have to stop consuming our culture. We have to create culture. Don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time, where you are now, is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, you are disempowered. You are giving it all away to icons. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media, so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. And what is real is you and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, and your fears. And we are told no. We're unimportant, we're peripheral, get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that, and then you're a player. You don't even want to play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world. Where is that at? -Terence

I agree with VU being over and under rated (after hours is pure gold).
I'd be willing to guess the most underrated would be David Santo, for his song Scorpio rising. I can't be certain how popular it was back in the day, because I wasn't around then 
EDIT: I take it back, Tom Waits gets my vote for most underrated. (Well atleast until the cover CD by Scarlett Johansson becomes famous)

311 - My Stoney Baby, off the Music album.
More or less a song about a quest to get with this stoner chick that he's really into. Very upbeat, yet mellow enough to listen to while smoking.
<3 311.
More?
that track was in the new harold and kumar movie!
and like i made the hugest commotion during the movie to my friends, "OH MY GOD ITS 311!!!"
311 is tight, i love their old stuff. a b s o l u t e l y love it!

Afro Celt Sound System
And yeah.... Mahavishnu Orchestra never got the recognition they deserved. Saw them twice in the early Seventies... superb concerts, each one. The Birds of Fire album is just great. http://www.amazon.com/Birds-Fire-Mahavishnu-Orchestra-McLaughlin/dp/B00004VWA8/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1212358538&sr=8-1
