The Mars Volta.

I'm really not sure if they're underrated, it's just they're different enough from most other music that there's nothing to rate them against. They're fucking brilliant, though.
lpophire Reviewed by lpophire 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
