Re: Underrated Bands
Blind Melon then definately fits into 'Underrated'.
Jellyfish was/is underrated, but as short-lived power-pop group in the early 90s, it's understandable. They came out at the wrong time, but were masters of a great pop song.
Saul Williams is hugely underrated. Almost no one has ever heard of him, and yet he's a great writer, poet, performer (on stage and acting in films, like Slam), and musician. If he ever comes to you're area, go.
Re: Underrated Bands
A band that's been forgotten recently is The Kinks.. I never hear them on the radio anymore, and they had alot of really good songs IMHO. 'Lola' should at least be played as much as a song like 'Brown Eyed Girl'
Celluloid Heroes the song is very underrated.
Re: Underrated Bands
Sorry to bump up a 7 year old thread 
but been listening to Pandora alot lately, and I gotta say, I think The Black Crowes are the most underrated band of all time. They released a kickass album in 1992(?) which, while successful, definitely fell thru some cracks & didn't have much lasting power due to the explosion of grunge & alternative music. From there, albums sold modestly well, but little radio play.
We all like to think the big "What If...." GnR stuck around. Well The Black Crowes DID stick around, and unfortunately didn't rec'v as much recognition imho in the 90s-2000s as they deserve. I think had GnR stayed together & been relevant in the 90s the Crowes would've likely benefited with similar tours & radio play by radio stations who managed to fit them both in similar to Metallica's success.
Anyway, Pandora is great for rediscovering bands you wish you followed more. I really like The Black Crowes and the Inxs channel.

THis song is absolutely amazing.
Re: Underrated Bands
Hey James, good hearing from you. Yes, that's a great song. I picked up their "Croweology" a few weeks back, kinda a slowed down acoustic version of alot of their better songs. This one is on it, although I do think this original version is better. Another song Girl From A Pawn Shop is really good on the Croweology album.
