The Most Underated Bands

soapbars · 03.23.2006, 12:01 PM

the overated thread was an interesting enough read apart from the abusive posts,

anyway id rather talk about bands that dont get enough credit:

Can
the birthday party
wire
spacemen 3

theres bound to be loads more it was just these bands that first came to mind,

Inhuman · 03.23.2006, 12:06 PM

Good call! I would have to go with:

The Hospitals
The Flying Luttenbachers
Sun Ra
WRAITHS
USA IS A MONSTER

battles
the rolling stones

Rob Instigator · 03.23.2006, 01:11 PM

My list of underrrated bands goes as this

Phish
Morphine
The Misfits

all these acts wrote and played some fucking amazing music but noone seems to give them any respect. a lot of people listen to them, but culturally they seem to make no mark.

Hip Priest · 03.23.2006, 01:14 PM

Good thread.

Current: The Duke Spirit.

Past: Gaye Bykers on Acid, Fields of the Nephilim, The Bambi Slam. And, although they are very well known, I always feel that Creedence Clearwater Revival are ignored somewhat.

They never seem to get mentioned anywhere, apart from by me

screamingskull · 03.23.2006, 01:17 PM

ummm, how about sonic youth, they are pretty underrated by everyone who isnt us.

Test it!

A couple more, but only if I may:

Japan were a superior pop band who've never got the acclaim they deserve, and neither has their former frontman, Davd Sylvian, who's been making slightly experimental music solo for over 20 years. His 'Speaking With The Shaman' 12" in particular has inspired a lot of New Age type music without ever being credited. ANd he can still bang out the odd cracking song when he wants, eg 'The Scent of MAgnolia'.

Who are Six by Seven? I don't think I've even heard of them, which could go some way to prove your point.

krastian · 03.23.2006, 03:51 PM

I'll def. vote for Phish.

Glice · 03.23.2006, 04:35 PM

I loved Six by Seven on their first album, but then met them, and they were arseholes, and I can't listen ever since.

Stony Sleepand Urusei Yatsura get my underrated vote.

Sonic youth will eventually be in the RnR Hall of Fame, so those of you who think they are underrated will soon be eating your words.

Currently underrated...

The Feelies, the Beatles,

Formerly underrated and now perfectly rated... The Ramones, unfortunately only got their due respect after the deaths of Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny. The only band I know where all the drummers are still alive and everyone else is dead. Go figure.

Signpost · 03.23.2006, 04:41 PM

My small list:
Swans
Angels Of Light
Labradford
Six Finger Satellite
Oneida
