My pick for underrated band is Social Distortion. I am more basing this on seeing them live three times... Great band, awesome cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. .

Hands down, The Verve is the most under rated band of all time. Every single one of their albums is a masterpiece but all they are ever known for is Bittersweet Symphony, and that is the only song that ever gets played on airwaves.

The Books.

The Books' "Thought for Food" is fantaaaaastic. :psychsplit:

For you personally I'll throw Fly Pan Am out there.

In the jammy scene, seriously --Ekoostik Hookah.  Most underappreciated band I have ever loved dearly.

A lot of other good stuff has been mentioned.  I'm glad to see some electronic, another thumbs-up for Autechre.

Marcy Playground.  Commonly dismissed as 'the sex and candy band', while "Shapeshifter" kicks ass.

Acid Bath.......... by far, I cant believe Dax and the rest of the band never got at least an offer to sell out, or they just didnt take it if they did. Also their side venture Agents of Oblivion rocked too just more acoustical...

No, they are over rated. Yes, the guitar is pretty damn good. But christ, that guys voice is like fingernails on a fucking chalkboard. And the lyrics are crap too. They don't deserve the following they have. It's not good music, IMHO.


That's just your opinion though. I know all of this is opinion, but for a band like the mars volta, which is obviously by it's very nature going to be a love it or hate it kind of thing, I don't think it's really a fair statement.

I can understand U2 though. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!

Here's a pretty underrated band called Fifteen (aka Crimpshrine). I'm not sure if anyone outside of the East Bay punk scene is aware of them, but they're damn progressive for their time:

Captain Beyond is the most underrated band in history. So underrated that even many people who were totally into music at the time never even heard of them.

Their first album is ridiculously awesome --

http://www.amazon.com/Captain-Beyond/dp/B000003CMR/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1210789301&sr=1-1

Order it today. Best nine bucks you'll ever spend. Here are the first three tracks --



Their second album was almost as good --

http://www.amazon.com/Sufficiently-Breathless-Captain-Beyond/dp/B000006ONT/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1210789301&sr=1-2

Here's the first track from that album --



Their third and final album I can live without. It's very good, but the first two are just so incredibly excellent the third one suffers by comparison --

http://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Explosion-Captain-Beyond/dp/B000009EW8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1210789301&sr=1-4

The only reason I can think of to explain their obscurity is that there were so many excellent albums being released in that timeframe that they just got lost in the shuffle.

One more -- also from their first album --



--just in case the last post didn't convince you to run right out and get this CD. Listen to this one start to finish... even through the quiet parts. It's worth it. I love the intro at around 3:40. Totally hippy, but cool nonetheless.

It truly is a mystery these guys aren't better known. Their stuff is as good as any of the giant bands of the era -- the Who, Zeppelin, the Stones, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath -- and miles ahead of most of the rest.

This is the stupidest thread. It's just gonna be a bunch of niche bands that like-minded listeners are going to agree upon. I can't think of one band that isn't relatively big that I would recommend to someone who doesn't listen to the genre that whatever band I'm recommending is in.

so you dont think that anyone who post an underated band is opinionated in style of music.

did you read the whole thread, theres such a diverse collection of music on here.

most of which id never heard of.

go flame on one of your own threads. this one to me is gold

Flaming one of my own threads would be kinda dumb.

Yes, I understand the whole concept of being opinionated in styles of music (trust me, I really do.) That's kinda what makes this thread just as pointless as those overrated band threads. What makes a band overrated or underrated? Too many people or not enough people like them? Why? What makes you think too many or not enough people are into a band? It's ridiculous.

Edit: And yes, I read every post in this thread before I posted, I almost always do.
