The Most Underated Band

[The Super Pope]

Who is most under-rated?
I think the Kinks, and Squeeze

Don't get too obscure

[the_mango55]

A band can't be the most underrated unless they are obscure.

[Cúchulainn]

Not very obsecure, but Breed 77 are quite underrated.
They are a fusion of rock, metal and flamenco from Gibraltar.
I think the are very good, great even, but
You decide.

La Última Hora(The Last Hour)
This is not the actual video. but the sound is better, and it has Sawyer in it.

[The Super Pope]

I wouldn't call the Kinks obscure. What i meant was no Brazillian jazz-funk please

[Chaigidel]

the swans -- M.Gira and Jarboe(and other people)

[Noble Savage]

I think the Beta Band never got the dues they deserved,total quality

[therussian]

I also thought of the Kinks at first.

I'll also have to say Traffic.

[Niles Crane]

I've got a few...

The Kinks - Part of the British Invasion, it's amazing they aren't as well remembered today.
Procol Harum
Traffic
Free - Even their songs before 'All Right Now' are great. They really should have been more successful.

[God]

How obscure am I allowed to be...?

Van der Graaf Generator is underrated.
Agent Orange and Gray Matter are underrated punk bands, and Psychotic Waltz is an underrated metal band.

Also Mercury Rev:

[Noble Savage]

Public Image Ltd never got the same deserved acclaim given to John Lydons previous band

Yup. Public Image Ltd are a lot better than The Sex Pistols in my opinion.

[Primvs Sextvs Loverlord]

Whenever I hear "under-rated", the German Folk-Melodic Death Metal band Suidakra come to mind. These guys have better music than anyone inside their main and sub-genres yet it seems that very few people actually know about them. At a time when people are mixing Hardcore elements with Swedish Metal and calling it "metalcore" and feeding it to American children, Suidakra are a true Metal band with unlimited capabilities.

[Racer X]

Yup. Public Image Ltd are a lot better than The Sex Pistols in my opinion.

Agreed.

I think Magazine deserve more respect, also.

And I've probably gone on about this before here, but I personally rate the Beach Boys higher than the Beatles - and while I know I'm in the minority and I'm not expecting everyone else do the same, I think the Beach Boys deserve more respect in the public eye. Seems that a lot of people see shite like Kokomo and then forget Pet Sounds or Surf's Up ever existed.

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

I agree with the Kinks,

Also i would say Kraftwerk... they sorta invented electronic music yet are not exatclly well known.

[therussian]

I'll also throw in the Small Faces into the mix.

[LoZz]

[Flavius Silvanus]

Toad the Wet Sprocket

Dulcinea is just a great album.

[Tate1234]

I Would Have To Say "Free" is They Were Better Than "Bad Company" In My Opinion and they were very passionate and deep

[NONOPUST]

That would definitely have to be Ra

Only one of their awesome songs...also its not their video but it has good sound

BTW: Cúchulainn I do like that song

[The Super Pope]

PiL are less known than the Pistols because they weren't as innovative or influential
