Underrated bands and musical artists

[Mr_Frisby]

 The Throwing Muses!!!

btw : After 9 albums and 5 solo Albums - Kristen Hersh has started a new band Called '50 ft Wave' along with a new album (that hasn't been released here yet).

Just about all my favorites have already been named - Tom Waits, The Flaming Lips and Fugazi - Lets not forget the Breeders - More than just Cannonball . .trust me.

Elliot Smith. If you know who this is and can name one of his songs, you get a cookie. Seriously, he compares to Kurt Cobain. One of the best artists of all time.

I love Elliot Smith! "Alameda" and "Needle in the Hay" are a couple of my favourites. Unfortunately you're right about him being comparable to Kurt; they are both dead. Elliot slit his wrist last year.  :'(

I don't think if he had the same cultural effect as Cobain, but he was a great singer (if not a better singer than Kurt).

The Presidents of the United States of America are simultaneously the best underrated band and the worst over-rated group of world leaders. Except kings.

I bump this thread in the name of my released EP here: http://www.aud-stim.com/stim044.htm , which might interest the handful of electronic music liking people around here.

[Nine Toes]

One band that I think is seriously under rated is a band from the states here, called Systematic.

I saw them on April Fool's Day in 2000 in Green Bay, WI with Godsmack, Cold, and Staind.  I was blown away.

I found out the other night that they've separated after only 2 albums (2 very kick ass albums, I might add).  They not too heavy, I would call them hard rock.  Like I told Femme, I don't understand why these guys aren't more popular and well-known, but maybe that's a good thing, 'cuz you know... you get the fame, you sell out, right?

Well, anyway.  Here's hoping this isn't the end of Systematic.

First of all...do you really want these underrated bands to become overrated?  Because honestly...don't you kind of like it when you discover some less-known music, don't you like listening to stuff that isn't blaring out of the radio 24/7?

But...if you must know, some underrated musicians that I love are...

1) Faith no More
2) Muse
3) Doves
4) Remy Zero

and here is a really cool song by an underrated band called Shiva in Exile which you can listen to streaming:
