Most Underrated Band

The Gossip

Are you having a laugh? They have got to be one of the most over rated bands around, same goes for all of the new bands coming out of Britain at the moment.

tom_mate Reviewed by tom_mate on 03-11-2007. Most Underrated Band Since we have an overrated thread, it's inevitable we'll have an underrated thread. What's in your opinion the most underrated band? One thing to think about before posting to prevent this from becoming another thread where everyone lists their favorite bands: Your favorite artists are underrated by everyone else! Be objective as possible. With that said, imo, the most underrated band is The Smashing Pumpkins. Their musical range is so broad, and their catalog so diverse. Rating: 5

Agreed, the UK has been pretty weak lately. There's still some good stuff coming out of there, but it's not getting a lot of press. Especially not here in the States, atleast. The Crimea though, I believe they're English, have a lot of potential to be great.

The Yardbirds, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton where awesome, they made so many great songs and influenced so many bands...

jefferson airplane (maybe not back then but now)

Porcupine Tree

90% of the bands i listen to, if not more are terribly underrated

[stoneberg]

Alot of death metal bands such as Soilent Green, Suffocation, The Haunted, Misery Index
If I had to name a rap artist it would be Immortal Technique, although he is getting bigger, he's an excellent poet, not some asshole obsessed with money cash and hoes like 99% of the popular rappers these days.
I also believe the stoner rock band Kyuss is underrated. Although they had a cult following in California in the 90's they pretty much created stoner rock and deserve more credit for that.

For me, it would have to be Primus. No one mentions Les Claypool's amazing bass fret work. The guy had a 12 string bass custom made for him and he can play that bastard with no problems. If you can play a 12 string like a pro, bass guitar too, you have concured all music bounderies.

The guy is truely amazing though. I remeber reading awhile back that he once tried out for Metallica. They basically said, "you're too good for us, so just leave. You're way too good for us"

Jesus dude i completely agree with you. when it comes to playing bass noone comes anywhere near claypool. I dont particularly care for his singing in somes songs (pretty weird at times) but the band is fucking incredible!
