Who in your opinion are the most underrated musical artists?
My top 3 are
1. Asia - a wonderful rock band, but alas produced only one hit single. When they reunited in early 90s, they made many wonderful songs like "Love under fire"(you've gotta hear it, it is as perfect as "The show must go on" imo), "Someday" and "Arena".Alas, none of them became major hits, but the band is still playing, their latest album, Aura, was released in 2001.
2. Sergey Vasylevich Rachmaninov - A genious composer, romanticist, who, alas, was born before his time. His piano concertos are genious, and I must say that they are the hardest thing to play I've heard.
3. Uriah Heep - They are not exactly underrated, but are not considered rock legends as they should, in line with Pink Floyd, Deep purple and Queen. I had the chance to see them live last summer and I've gotta say that they are as good as ever. Your thoughts?
m0ds? :P
Rachmaninov is getting quite consideration since Geoffrey Rush won an Oscar playing his compositions in "Shine", IMHO.
Actually, I find most classical pianists always rave about Rachmaninov. His stuff is hard to play, but at least it is rewarding with its very 'full' sound. Whereas Mozart's stuff...
{Pointless Mozart slander deleted.}
I'm certainly a Rachmaninov fan, as well as Chopin. Both these composers stray from the general light-heartedness of classical piano music. Rachmaninov is incredibly fun to play, if you're willing to put in extra time to learn his pieces.
On the contrary, I find Rachmaninov extremely overrated, especially his piano concertos. If you want to listen to the true art of concerto writing then listen to Mozart. Pianists rave about Rachmaninov because it's just something they can show off with, much like Liszt. And I would imagine it would be harder to play a classical concerto rather than a romantic one because of the lack of freedom. Mozart has to be clean and precise to be played well. But with Rachmaninov, the style tends to be a bit sloppy.
Although I do find Rachmaninov's orchestral works to be of better quality than the concertos.
I think Modest Mussorgsky is also underrated. He's written some very nice orchestral works, and opera and ballet music that often gets ignored. I suppose the reason was his lack of orchestrational skills, but I think Ravel and Rimsky-Korsakov covered that pretty well :)
Migs:
Quotethe general light-heartedness of classical piano music
Listen to some Beethoven.
I'm a big Ravel fan
but I'm probably theonly one :P
Not the only one, FT. Bolero is one of my favourite classical tunes.
Bolero annoys me. 13 minutes of music is okay, but when it's the same {insert number between 10-20} bars over and over again, with the only variation coming from crescendo's and added insrtumentation, it gets on my nerves. Don't get me wrong - I don't presume to think it lacks finesse, or skill, or style, or challenge... but it doesn't work for me personally...
Three greatest under-rated composers?? hmmm...
Liszt (only because I can play his stuff and brag about it when some of my friends can't... :-[ It's selfish, I know, but it's also very rewarding ;))
Elgar!!! I have ABSOLUTELY fallen in love with 'Enigma Variations'.... *sigh* I am obsessed at the moment. He's one awesome string composer.
Handel!! I know he's pretty famous, but a dude who can write 'Messiah' in such a short amount of time, and have it sound SOOOOO amazingly cool can't get enough credit from me.
Hmm... I could probably think of a MILLION others if I tried real hard...... but I'm lazy at the moment, and I wish not to be thinking........
What about Mike Patton?
Repetition is okay with me, if done good. One of my favourite songs is "you dont fool me" by Queen, which includes many repetitions, but they are done so well that they get you wnt to listen to them more.
Any thoughts about more contemporary artists(like UH or Asia)?

Rock on.
Actually, the guy's a bit of a freak, but I certainly prefer him over the usual shock rockers.
Hmm... I think that Keigo Oyamada, aka "Cornelius", needs a lot more recognition, at least in the west.
Also, mustn't forget Macho Man Randy Savage. Ooh yeah.

Faith No More was totally underated. They were more than just "Epic" (Which was and still IS a great song) but they bent genre and style quite a bit; too much for mainstream type fans to catch on.
As for Uriah Heep, they are one of those 70's bands who just don't get as much acclaim as they should. Badfinger is another group I love, but isn't as celebrated - Sugarloaf is another one; "Green Eyed Lady" is a great tune.
I'd say Gomez, too. They seem to be popular in England, but here in the States, no one knows them. I'm in love with the tune "Miles End" of off "In Our Gun"
Enter The Haggis: I sincerely doubt that anyone is going to have heard of these guys, but they're a celt-rock group from Toronto. Authors of such songs as "Ride My Monster":
QuoteI'm floating 'cross the loch on my monster again
My monster's always with me, he's my very special friend.
I'm going to see my lassy, Miss Suzy McGoo
And, if she wants to, Sue McGoo can ride my monster, too!
Makes me giggle everytime I think of that song.
The Avalanches: an Australian group that takes samples from old movies and mixes them together to make songs. Frontier Psychiatrist is my personal favourite.
Blackthrone, do you mean Meatloaf?
wooo
music topic :)
I agree with vel on uriah.... I saw them live last year, and they rock!
for the rest in Holland Matchbox20 is highly underrated... the only well known song by rob thomas is smooth :S
and I like bands like American Hi Fi, Dream Theater which are quite underrated bands in Holland too

Black Heart Procession needs some more damn recognition, after the staggeringly impressive creative leap they made from their already-good first three albums to their monumentally incredible 2002 concept album, Amore del Tropico.

I don't buy into a lot of this modern music, for various reasons. One of them is that most bands seem to write music for money, as opposed to writing music for music.
This is the part where everyone floods me with useless messages about how {insert band name here} has really powerful lyrics and they do it to ellicit a message, not for the dough.
I am completely aware of this. That is why I used the words 'A lot of this modern music' and 'most bands' instead of 'every musician alive'.
Bands like 'A Perfect Circle' are a good example. Some of their songs are just SO amazingly cool (even though I'm not usually a fan of that genre), while others seem to have been put on just so they can fill a cd.
So it's hard for me to justify very many modern bands. I mean, seriously, when you think about it, if Bon Jovi got a song that was still remembered one-hundred-fifty years later, it'd be a miracle. The fact that Beethoven and Mozart could do exactly that says SOMETHING about what we're missing in today's society.
But then again, I'm just a twisted, bitter old man who wants violins and pianos to RULE THE WORLD like they used to...

I love Ravel! Le Tombeau de Couperin is probably one of his finest works. And I absolutely love La Valse. As for the Bolero, I too get kind of sick of it, but some of his orchestration is just amazing. Who else would combine french horn, piccolo, and celesta at three different partial levels?

What about Mike Patton?
Yes, he's one of my favourites, he's in a bunch of bands I love.
I remember in the Epic clip he was wearing a Mr. Bungle T-shirt
In My Cd player at the moment (a 3 disc one) I have FNM-Angel Dust, Mr Bungle - California & Tomahawk-Mit Gas
so you can say I'm a fan, I've seen FNM twice, Mr. Bungle thrice, Fantomas Twice, Tomahawk once.
I've also heard a solo album Mike Patton, which is just him making weird vocal sounds, odd but worth a listen.
I'm sure he's in some other bands (or projects) too, He comes out to Australia quite regularly in his different bands, most recently Tomahawk & Fantomas played together (He does have Australians in his bands)
but I wouldn't say FNM were underrated (yes they were more than just Epic) but they were fairly commercial after that IMO (although Mike was much better than Chuck) His other bands are fairly underground though.

I really get into that scene too, I also like a bit of Rockabilly and Psychobilly.
One of the most memorable gigs I went to was the Reverend Horton Heat, he rocks.
I would have loved to see 'The Stray Cats' live,
'The Living End' are a great aussie band that are fairly big here, excellent live show.
I used to be really into the Punk Scene, (inc all those Fat Wreck Chords bands) but it's become too friggin pop, thanks to bands like 'Blink182'.
Ska is great, My favourite aussie ska band are 'The Porkers' - awesome live
Mad Caddies are great too, another Fat Wreck Chords band.
I used to be a fan of 'Frenzal Rhomb' and know the the singer.
My favourite band that doesn't exist anymore, were the 'Fireballs', they were from Melbourne, Heavy/Psychobilly on speed would be a good description. I climbed up on stage once and lit my Cigarette off his flaming Double Bass at the end once.
man I've seen literally hundreds of bands live from all over the world, I could go on forever.
Quote from: Peter Thomas on Thu 26/02/2004 23:11:53most bands seem to write music for money
You mean like most classical composers? My topic of study in college is music, and after taking quite a few music history classes, I've come to the conclusion that, in general, classical composers were in it just as much for the money as most bands today. This doesn't mean it was the biggest motivation for those guys--but I also don't think it's the biggest motivation for current bands. Very few bands actually DO make much money, so it's a silly profession to go into if you just want to make it rich. Another thing worth keeping in mind is that there was still a lot of really shitty music written two hundred years ago, it's just that most of the shitty stuff has been filtered out by time. We only really listen to a fairly small percentage of all the composers who were working during that time period. All the crappy ones just got lost in the shuffle of history. A couple centuries from now, people won't remember most bands of today, but the great ones will likely still be known.

Nope, I mean SUGARLOAF. They're a 70's rock band. Look up their song "Green Eyed Lady".... it's pretty groovy.

MY BAND IS UNDERRATED!!!
Remixor:
One of the best break downs of mordern music vs. classical I've read, bravo good sir!
Jimmy's chicken shack/Jarflys
The former more popular then the later. Either way all of Jimmy Haha's creations are unique and most importantly humble. Which sadly seems to lead to there downfall.
Bad Brains
Arguably the fathers of hardcore music. With roots deep in punk with a mix of rock and just enough drops of metal they created an amazingly interesting musical cocktail.
Fugazi
Number one on my list would have to be Fugazi though it seems unappropriatly placed. The entire philosophy of this band would almost lead you to believe they prefer the underdog/underrated motif. In reality, or in the very least in my opinion, they are one of the few bands that are really truely all about the music.
I think Erik Satie is quite underrated: most of his stuff is really simple (even I can play Gnosiennes), but this is the only piano music that can convey such strange emotions, weirdness plus melancholy, melancholic creepiness.
As for moderns, I'd say Death in June and Current93.
this topic confuses me.
what qualifies a band as underrated ?
sure, the average joe doesn't know mike patton or fugazi, but in their respective "scenes", they are considered seminal artists.
same for the bad brains, any self-respecting hardcore kid knows them...
i'd agree about the black heart procession, but it's not a field i'm familiar with, so it doesn't mean a thing. there are probably people who believe the exact opposite, who knows ?
to me, some underrated bands would be 999, the saints or the rich kids, who didn't get the coverage they deserved. unlike the damned, the stranglers, richard hell, etc.
but once again, someone who's not into punk would never call the damned and the buzzcocks "legends".

Well, I'm not into punk, but I know that Richard Hell and the Buzzcocks are legends in that scene.....
I think underated is really a personal preferance..... are we talking about bands that don't get coverage in Rolling Stone? Or Spin? Because whatever the media chooses as the moment as popular can change in years.... sure, during the punk rise of the 70's, the Buzzcocks or Richard Hell would NEVER HAVE been written about in the press, now they'll get an article from time to time with their names written in reverance....the point is, it doesn't matter - you have to like what you like, right? Isn't that the beauty of music?
Bt
Just had to bring this back as I saw the "Mad Caddies" last night all the way from Santa Barbara.
I've seen them before but they are an awsome band to see live, and they have only been here twice I think, but I think they're moving out here, If I heard correctly (unless he was joking) but I think he was serious.
here's their site if anyone is interested.
http://www.madcaddies.com/
Earlier in this thread I mentioned an awesome band "The Fireballs" who no longer exist, well the other week I saw this band "Sinshifters" which contains the Drummer/singer & the Double Bassist, They're very similar so after 8 years in the wilderness they're back. They're like a heavy psychobilly band, quite original really
http://www.sinshifters.com/txt/default.htm
One of the supports last night were an awesome ska band from the Gold Coast, up near Brisbane, called "Dr Octopus" they had a sexy lead singer chick too
http://www.dr-octopus.com/
I'd suggest checking out these sites if you like ska/punk/jazz/blues/reggae/piratety goodness
I'm going to see the Mad Caddies again today, say happy mothers day to my mum for me, Cheers.

Morphine. Great deep vocals, lyrics, saxophone, standup bass, and drums. However, since the lead singer is dead, I can understand why no one is promoting their music too heavily.
Tom Waits. Certainly not underrated here in Texas or most other parts of the US. But no one back home has ever heard of him, and I'm curious how familiar UK AGSers are with his work. Suggested albums: Blood Money, Alice, Rain Dogs, Frank's Wild Years.
Robert Goulet. I'm joking, I just wanted an excuse to type "GOULET!"

Still diggin' it but what happened to the ultra-spiffy flash-esque website you were doing?
Peter Thomas, I don't think anything else really matters except whether you like the music or not. I don't understand how it makes the music less enjoyable if it was made for money or for the music. It sounds the same.
This is just a thing I've heard from lots of people and I'm hoping you could explain it. Cause the only reason I see for it right now is that these people don't listen the music for the music but for everything else that is related to it. Like, which genre it is, how commercial band made the music etc.
Underrated bands? I'll have to say Third world and Type O Negative. I'm really into other kinds of music... But I listen to these too, And It's very hard to find music by Third world, which I would consider makes them not so known. I might be wrong, since the music sounds older than me. :P
I would say Kyuss - Great, great band that in my opinion gave the whole Stoner Rock-movement a worthy sound, and unfortunately split up after their forth full-length album, "...And the Cirkus Leaves Town".
I still love what Josh Homme is doing nowadays in Queens of The Stone Age, but some of the stuff Kyuss did was... ...Just amazing...
Listen to songs like "Catamaran", "One Inch Man", "El Rodeo", "Tangy Zizzle", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop", "Allen's Wrench" and many, many more...
Another hardrock band of the 70's that never got far enough attention is Nazareth.
They did some stuff that was definately as heavy as what giants such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath was doing, but still they are rather overlooked today.

Peter Thomas, I don't think anything else really matters except whether you like the music or not. I don't understand how it makes the music less enjoyable if it was made for money or for the music. It sounds the same.
That is so true.
So many people (I know a lot of people like this) say that they don't like music made for the money & that only sells because of image (like when a boy band does well because of their looks for example), that they only like music because of how it sounds. They say the only factor that influences their opinion is how the final thing sounds. Then they go out of their way to find music which they think is
not made for the image or the money.
Surely this contradicts what they have already said?
Let me give an example:
Underground (& therefore 'underated') band A, let's call them.......um.........Mungo & the Sputniks, have been araound for a few years. They have made a couple of albums, released a couple of singles, & have a small fan base. They have not had any best sellers, but their fans claim this is because they are "in it just for the music, maaaaaaaaan".
Anyway, Mungo's fan base grows larger as word get around about how much they rawk. All the friends of the original fans go out & buy their album, the band becomes popular. They get a number one album & single. They have finally found success.
Then the original fan base stops listening to them because they have "sold out, maaaaaaaan. They stopped believing in the music, maaaaaaaaan".
This is not the case at all. The band hasn't changed, they are still playing their number one single just the same as they always have, the only difference is now more people like it.
The difference is that the original fans no longer feel unique. It used to be
their band, & only their band. Instead of feeling proud & happy that their favourite band have become successful, they feel, in a way, jealous.
So they go off & find another underground band, so when they become semi-popular they can say "I liked them
before they were cool" & when they become popular they can dump them & let the vicious cycle continue.
They claim they don't judge a artist/band by their image, when in fact this is what they actually ARE doing, without really realising it. They are just doing it in a different way from all the teenie boppers (or whatever you call them) who like Justin Timberlake.
I know some people who used to like Homestar Runner, but have gone off it because it has become "too commercial", when in reality it has just become popular.
This is why I don't talk about what music I like too often. I lisen to what I like, & hope that nothing influences my opinion except how it sounds. I am afraid that if I discuss it too much I will become like Mungo's fan base, and become influenced by everything
except the music.
I never said the ONLY influence is how the music sounds (though really, it should be) - I agree that there are a host of reasons to like music, but it DOES piss me off when people feel they have to make good video clips to MAKE UP for their bad songs.
I'm not sure, but I think his point could be this (because this is the way I often see it). I always get annoyed when I hear really bad music that gets popular, and I know it's the result of a popular artist just needing to get another song out and not actually caring about writing a genuinely good one or not. Just making it sell with cliched sounds and sex etc etc...
That's when I complain about artists making songs for money and their image - when the music is just bland but made to sell, instead of being made because they wanted to make this particular song.
I'd have to say that I think The Darkness is underrated in Australia ^_^ They're appeciated in Britain, as I understand, but honestly, hardly anyone really knows about them here. I always get responses like, "Eh?" when I mention liking them.
I think Queen are underrated too. Even though they're possibly one of the hugest rock bands in history - it's still not enough! They should be acknowledged as the best >_<
One artist I've heard recently is Mark Farina. He's a DJ. I've never been a fan of dance music, but I heard one of Farina's songs (Dream Machine) recenlty and thought it was one of the most beatiful songs that touched my eardrums.
People know of him but haven't heard any of his stuff. Even my Dad, who is a bit of a dance afficionado, hasn't heard much about him.
So, yeah, I'd class him as underrated.

They get a lot of radio play nowadays, in brisbane, where you live. I think it's more a fact that people know the song, but not the artist.
Ahh, maybe so. I don't really listen to the radio anymore.
Actually, I should also mention Space. Space are a wonderful band that I think had one or two popular songs but never really got known as a band. I love almost every one of their songs and it seems like such a shame that they aren't better known.
The only band I can think of which is underrated is this alternative metal/emo band called 36 Crazyfists. To all punk fans, try downloading their song Slit Wrist Theory.
I seem to not have posted in this thread before, so here are a few bands/artists I think are probably underrated: (some of them are popular in certain circles, but most people have never heard of them)
Bogdan Raczynski
Renaldo and the Loaf
Venetian Snares
Tim Hecker
The Braindead Monkeys
Peter Licht
Oxygenfad
Fidel and the Castronauts
Melt Banana.
Mother Love Bone
They didn't get a chance to get any huge recognition because the lead singer died just after they finished their first album. 2 of the members went on to form Pearl Jam.
The BellRays (http://www.thebellrays.com). A Californian band, who play a kind of souly rock. Dunno how well known they are worldwide, but I'd never heard of them before, and they're definitely not well known in the UK...
Lemon Demon is the most underrated Musician ever. That kid needs a grammy
Jesus, with all of the play he gets with his animations and the Potter Puppet Pals, I'm suprised he doesnt. Seriously, he's got it good, and even greater soon to come. Just remember your heritage and when you're famous, send us money.

You're underrated aswell
Hehe, since we're all listing each other I'll add Loop Theorist, Skeptopotamus and Wrexsoul to my list as well.
DS, c. leks, and any other electronic musicians on these forums...
Where would I find your music?
-junc
Leks' site isn't finished yet, but he has an entry in the tune competition that you can listen to. It is good.
DS will eventually finish an EP that will appear on aud.stim (http://aud-stim.com/), I hope.
Some of my music is here (http://www.soundclick.com/gnocelot), though for the most part it is old stuff that sucks. I'm currently working on this (http://bicycle-for-slugs.org/wodds2.mp3). There's also Bread Machine (http://www.soundclick.com/breadmachine), a ten minute song project thing. Two of them are from leks, the others are mine.
Skeptopotamus (http://www.soundclick.com/skeptopotamus) is the name DS and I use for the music we've made together.
Ghormak, who is also awesome, does not have a reliable central repository for his music, to the best of my knowledge.
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.

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.
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:
http://magnatune.com/artists/music/World/Shiva%20in%20Exile/Ethnic/04-Nightheat-Shiva%20In%
That's messed up, I got mentioned twice in this thred, above REAL atrists who have tought me lots..
so this is it:
Adam Hay: my god you rule
Fuzpliz: I cannot even conseptulize(sp?) how you do what you do
