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.
stoneberg Reviewed by stoneberg on . 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
