Most Underrated Bands
We had a good thing going here so I'm ressurecting it.
ANd i'm adding Rocket from the Crypt as a top contender for the title who, incidentally, have a new live album out R.I.P. supposedly a recording of their last show. Also Hole's Celebrity Skin. Its like everyone decided courtney love was a female cobain couterpart with Live Through This, only to get bored with the idea by the time Celebrity Skin comes out, which is infinitely better and shows the band as a legitimate act. |
Re: Most Underrated Bands
problem with the underrated idea is that there are hundreds of reaaaally talented indie or unsigned bands that have gone unnoticed. Not sure how a band is underrated if it's made it big...do you consider sales? Popular opinion? Critics' reviews?
I'm trying to think of major label bands with particular albums that have been passed over unjustly and should be reassessed... |

For my two-cents: Tom McRae is a great singer/songwriter who's first three albums never gained the popularity that they deserved. And to think, people buy James Blunt records in their droves. Admittedly, his last effort fell a little short of previous work, but Just Like Blood is one of my all-time top 5 albums. Listen to any track from that album,or Dose Me Up, The Girl Who Falls Downstairs or A and B Song for a taster Elbow are a great band from Manchester, who have a loyal, devoted following and receive great critical praise, but have yet to really hit the big time. I'd recommend most of their work, but particularly Scattered Black & Whites, Newborn, Forget Myself and Switching Off. Plus, their latest album is just out, and supposedly extremely bloody good. There's plenty of others, obviously, but that's not a bad start. |
