Another post in favor of my argument. I hear people say VU is both overrated AND underrated all the fucking time. How can that even be?
The only exception I can think of is relatively new bands who haven't had a lot of exposure yet. But then they wouldn't be the most underrated band in history, since they haven't been around for too long.

Yeah. Wishbone Ash -- another underrated band for sure. I liked their 1972 album, Argus. I saw them live in 1973 in Ottawa, Canada, and it was a very good concert.
But that's my point about Captain Beyond: they're at least as good as Wishbone Ash (in my opinion they're much better) but most of my fellow Baby Boomers have heard of Wishbone Ash, while maybe five pecent have even heard of Captain Beyond.
And Captain Beyond was no "niche" band. It was as straightup hard driving rock as Deep Purple or Alice Cooper or The Who or Led Zeppelin. Just a lot more obscure.

To play along and not be a thread killer:
Any good jazz.

Do you like Indie music, at all?
Go to the Indie Album Thread, there's tons and tons of shit in there.
Hip-Hop? There's a hip-hop thread (although not nearly as expansive unfortunately.)
There are tons of sites on the internet to let you know about good new music. Pitchfork (as much as it pains me to say it) has pointed me in the direction of many bands I had never heard of. Obscure Sound has more lesser-known stuff.
www.pandora.com
Type in what you like, see where it takes you.
You have a wealth of information when it comes to music at your finger tips. How people can say music now is in a worse state is beyond me, the ability to share and discover so much new music makes a lot of stuff that would have gone unnoticed in the past far more popular now.

Here's some good music of today, and a pretty underrated band I would say.

Pretty much the only metal band I listen to (unless you wanna count some of the hardcore shit I've held onto from my past.)

Also.. I know not a lot of people on this forum are into death metal.. but DEATH (the band) was the pinnacle.. they stand out above every other death metal band that came after them. They defined the genre Death metal.. hence... DEATH metal. They combined a lot of jazz and classical influence and melded it with their own style of metal.. every album is truly epic. Also, the lyrics stand out from most as they are not singing about mutilated corpses and shit.. the lyrics tended to focus more around topics like freedom (mental, spiritual and psychological), religious and political persecution.. and such.
They are usually hailed as the best of the best among most metal aficionados.. but outside of that circle most have never even heard of them. I have turned several of my non-metal-liking friends on to them. Definitely under appreciated.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Sublime, they're totally the most underrated band EVER.

If you add his sig to that statement, then it works out nicely.
