Underrated Bands Thread

[Donovan McNabb]

Rancid. Every song they have is super catchy.

I say it all the time. Guided By Voices is criminally underrated, especially live. They might be the best living American band.

There's tons of great live clips but for sound reasons I'm going with this beer-soaked gem called Cut-Out Witch.

The guy is over 60 but he can still do David Lee Roth high kicks and sing like a motherfucker.

I had never heard of this band so I listened to five of their songs. They may be one of today's better bands but that isn't very impressive considering the competition. The Stones are still alive and yes I am an FOG.

Stones are my favorite band from the 60s through the 70s. I like a lot of their lesser known songs too.

For me it's the Pogues. I think they are way better than Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly but are somehow way lesser known.

There's a ton of great music around today.

You're just not going to find it on mainstream radio.

Try Radio K.

But yeah, Guided By Voices is insanely good and I'm glad you checked it out.

Robert Pollard has released 101 albums so there is a lifetime of killer rock and roll to digest should you want it.

While they're not underrated in some circles, I think Wilco has the stuff to be appreciated by a broader audience. I've seen them live a handful of times and they're great every single time.

I'm a big Uncle Tupelo guy, which is where Jeff Tweedy started before forming Wilco. I tend to prefer the songs sung by Jay Farrar more than the Tweedy songs. Jay formed Son Volt afterward and they had a great first album, but not much after that.

Definitely worked my way backwards from Wilco to Uncle Tupelo a few years ago, which led me to Sun Volt and eventually to Farrar's other collaborators like Will Johnson (Centro Matic):

The Cult and The Pogues have already been mentioned, and I'll also add The Kinks, perhaps the third best band to emerge from the 60s British Invasion.

[Qman65]

Thin Lizzy, Montrose and UFO.

Hard to call the Kinks underrated.

Been in the RnR HOF for 27 years.

Yet they're still an afterthought of the 60's British invasion after the Beatles and Stones.

[thinktank]

Not really. They're played on classic rock radio all the time. Just like The Who and Zeppelin.

You forgot how to post videos from youtube from the old board?

[thinktank]

No. It's posted just like the old board. I think I was just tipsy.

Really thrash metal in the end of hair metal.
