underrated... hmm, part of me wishes to shout "King Crimson".. but it would likely fall upon deaf ears.
So I will pick two others. closely related because of the lead singer:
'Faith No More' & 'Mr. Bungle'.
Mike Patton came on the scene and kicked some major buttocks! As part of the founding line-up of Bungle, he agreed to joinn FNM under the priviso that he could continue with Bungle. He has one fo the best voices in rock and one of the best creative, funny minds in the biz. With 3 FNM and # Bungle albums under his belt he went and did a number of solo projects which failed to capture my ear. It should be noted that the band behind him in Bungle were some of the tightest, hard-playing vertuosos I have heard in a long time.

I've always loved Squeeze--yes they were obscured by the constant airplay of Tempted and Black Coffee in Bed, back in the day--but they have a bunch of great and very humorous songs like Annie Get Your Gun, If I Didn't Love You and Pulling Muscles from a Shell that never got the appreciation they deserve--you could tell that band liked to drink....ALOT!

Anybody else ever hear of the band Paw? Great, underrated grunge band. I really want to get a hold of their 2nd and 3rd albums, but I, uh... can't find their files anywhere online. I mean it; not a single mp3. This is practically unheard of for me.

Triumph and Rainbow. Two bands with amazing musicians and a huge catalog of great songs that just never hit it big.

I've got 11 of their albums (studio and live). They're my #2 band, right behind The Beatles, and "Starless" is my favorite song."I support the destruction of the Think-Tank." - Avatar, August 2008

Cat’s foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians’ funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man’s greed
Poets’ starving children bleed
Nothing he’s got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man
how is Black Sabbath "underrated" Ez?? as far as i know, people who are into metal pay deep respect to the Oz!!! are you saying they should have more "mainstream" appeal?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
