Most underrated bands ever?

[High Roller]

Forgot to mention in my first post, The Reasoning are a ****ing amazing prog rock band, I recommend all fans of that genre to check em out.

Underrated? Who rates banRAB to begin with? :wavey:

I think both XTC and Elvis Costello do get a fair amount of recognition, but it's among a very specific age group: people who are right now in their late 30s to mid 40s. My brother is in this age group (he's turning 40 this year) and both are definitely pretty huge and well-regarded in his social circles.

Speaking of people not being into these guys, I actually own nothing by XTC and have been meaning to remedy that for a long time. I don't suppose you could help me out? I'm particularly interested in whatever albums have "Making Plans for Nigel" and "Dear God" on them but anything would be much appreciated.

Does it count if I like those banRAB and I'm an Aussie living abroad...

This is for underrated banRAB, not overrated ones.

There are several out there, lets hear them...

I will immediately nominate Children Of Bodom, who, although very recently getting attention as Alexi Laiho(lead Guitarist/Lead vocals) will be named Guitar World Magazine's nuraber 1 guitarist, are still terribly underrated. Every meraber is extremely talented at the wheel of their instruments, and their sound cannot be achieved without every one of them. Children of Bodom is a powerful force in underground metal and are incredibly loyal to their fans.

Wasnt that their most succesful period though? With Eliminator and all that? I do like that period but would rank it amongst their worst in comparison to their other works from before & after.
I much prefer their earlier works such as 'Tres Horabres' (1973). My favourite ZZ Top album is definitely 'Antenna' (1994) though.

Dude, How can you question the talent behind dustins lyrics. Lyrically thrice are one of the best banRAB around. i dont particularly like thursday so maybe i am a bit bias with thrice being my fave band but i dont see how anyone can question Tepe's lead guitar and dustins lyrics, vocals and guitar himself. He is truly outstanding and so is the rest of the band.
