Ok i know what band u guys consider overrated and it is really subjective. So what do u feel is the most underrated band? To me its The Sounds (some indie electronic Swedish Band), and lots of Swedish band.
 
i have to say MUSE is underrated for a british band. from 1999 till now, they dont really get much mainstream recognition, mostly overshadowed by bands like franz ferdinand, radiohead, oasis, travis, etc etc etc...

but i feel that's really good actually. once they go mainstream, the quality of their music starts to drop. dont want that to happen to muse!! besides, they won so many awards already in the UK. that alone shows how good they are despite not earning hit singles
 
I would say...there's already another thread on this and I don't understand why people keep duplicating threads.
 
Just a suggestion, instead of just posting names, why not post some additional information (their genre, music style, country of origin)? Afterall, this thread is to let people know more about these underrated artistes. :cool:
 
Band Name: Fugazi
Origin: Washington D.C. United States of America
Genre: Experimental? Post-hardcore?

Whoa bra, someone give this guy a tangerine

Your definitely going down in the hardcore history books man.

Anyway, to disappoint you, Fugazi WERE huge. They sold 200,000+ records on an Indie label in 1991.


Underrated music for me, would be Psychobilly cause Psychobilly requires having pretty skilled musicians, with the ability to rock a Gretsch Nashville or any of the Falcon series, able to slap a King Custom Double Bass (www.kingdoublebass.com) and play on a Slingerland Session Drum Kit.

Psychobilly was brought about just having fun, with punk ethos fused with rockabilly, 60s horror movies and just rad hair (it's called a Quiff not Queef which is a taboo for v*ginal flatulence.) No punk rock politics here as psychobilly music and culture was started as a protest against POLITICAL CHARGED punk rock. So no Asean Summit in these headlines. And for all you scene heads, it started in England too. And is Huge in Europe.


So please do check out any psychobilly bands such as Mad Sin, Demented Are Go, The Klingonz, Reverend Horton Heat(more rockabilly), Koffin Cats, Batmobile, The Meteors(one of the first band to start psychobilly), Creepshow, Necromantix, Horrorpops, Tiger Army, King Kurt, The Quakes and more. Do the right thing and wikipedia psychobilly for more info.

While you at it, go check out Horrorpunk, Deathrock (not death metal you *****), Folk Metal, Art Punk, Gothabilly, Neo-folk and all this crazy stuff you can find lurking at a European Fest and no one here has even bothered to start a scene or small something with all this crazy stuff. Hope this gives you some insight into dressing up like Good Charlotte and Bloc Party.

Well yeah that's my most underrated stuff.

knowing about bands nobody else knows about is cool, and once other people know about them, man that's uncool. every band was so much more awesome when i was the only one who knew about them! bring back the old metallica, the old paramore, the old blink 182! damn sellouts! =(
 
fiona apple

although that's not a band,she's underrated and great! +100

I think Porcupine Tree,Isis,Mark Lanegan Band...and yeah,NearLY..

can't be assed to name country of origin..but

Porcupine Tree = Progressive Rock/Psychedelia
Isis = Drone
Mark Lanegan Band = Folk/Garage/Stoner
NearLY = Dark Industrial or something near that.
