Most under-rated artist?

Sorry to blatantly rip off your idea, Lewis, but I was interested to see what people would say.

[MrGaryy]

hmm. Well I'm tempted to say Christina as I realyl think people over look her at times. I also think people write Kate Nash off as talent less down to her singing style.

Amy Winehouse is hardly under rated.
Can't believe I forgot Sara Bareilles, she is soooo under rated.

[Shaun]

I'd say the Script are pretty underrated. Lemar and Will Young too, they seem to be swept under the "reality TV has no credibility" carpet.

Cos of the drugs. People think of her on drugs and not singing.

I actually agree with Gary's point about Christina Aguilera; she's constantly grouped with Britney Spears as if they're mortal enemies, despite the fact Christina produces meaningful music, contrasting with Britney's meaningless (but popular) music. Christina Aguilera doesn't sell well in the UK really, even though I'd say she has one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard. It's hard to suggest many underrated artists though, a lot of them would be really obscure to most people. I think Daniel Merriweather should be much more successful than he is, but I think he's probably going to become very successful in the coming months anyway.

Kelly Clarkson, it annoys me how under rated she is. She should be right up there with people.

Everytime I say I like Kelly Clarkson people go 'Who?' then I say 'Since U been gone' and they all go 'Ohhh her!'
I suppose it is what Kelly wants, people to like her music but not make her famous. But I just wish she got more respect than she does.

Daft Punk


Daft Punk has basically made a revolution in electronica/house/dance/trance music. They are not under-rated, they are fairly rated, they have amazing talent.
It's their choice not to appear in the papers and to never give interviews because they wanted to remain unknown, celebrity does scare them.
No one knows what they look like, we all know they're French and apparently one is black.

They're my favourite band ever, I did grow up with them, most of my fave songs are from them and one of the happiest day in my life is the day I saw them LIVE. It was almost like an orgasm to me.

That's because they never conquered the USA. They did rather great in Europe. And sales don't mean a lot, Daft Punk are being a reference in the electronic music around the world. They said they don't care about sales anyway.
And sales don't match talent.

Depeche Mode. Easy.

They survived their own self imposed 80's cliches, their primary songwritter Vince Clarke left them after their first album, their primary musician, Alan Wilder, left them in the middle of a world tour, their frontman, Dave Gahan, died of a Heroin & Cocaine speedball overdose before being brought back to life, they launched synthpop into the stratosphere, everyone from Linkin Park to The Killers to KanYe West sites them as a huge influence, and as far as album sales go, their only a wee bit behind U2.

Despite this, the British Press decides it better to pretend the band does not exist. No coverage, no radio airplay, no TV time, nothing. Still. After 20+ years.

I probably should have thrown that in with my original rant. The band progressed long past the teeny bopper two finger electric synthesizer hits of their youth into being a drug addled, cross dressing, grunged up mess of a synth rock group, and yet still people believe Just Cant Get Enough to be an accurate representation of the band :joker:.

I would throw Marilyn Manson in as a second choice. Yes, he has sold huge, but only during the first half of his career, when most of the western world genuinly believed him to be the antichrist, and as a result fauled to respect or notice what an absoloutely brave, right, articulate, true artist he is.

It's been their choice to be quiet, they don't want to be famous and to be recognized in the street. They said they want a normal life.

Tupac Shakur

i think it is hard to say he is underated, like you said, he is #1 on most lists, and most shows having to do with rap. the easiest way to say is name another rapper will be as relevant as Pac is now, almost 9 years after his death. Pac is still listened too, and unreleased stuff is still anticipated to the point the bootleggers are killing is album sales, and the labels are watering down his music just to get something out for the people to bump. I can't think of another rapper who i will still be bumpin on a regular basis almost a decade after they are gone. we easily lost not the best lyricist, not the rapper with the best flow, not a lot of things, but we did lose the most complete artist that has ever blessed the mic.

Amen.

Tupac could be considered a genius when it comes to selling yourself short. He was an incredibly witty social commentator, but few in the mainstream media will ever understand that because they are more concerned with the fact that ''omgzz he has tattoos of guns!.

[Novo]

Can i Just add tupac was an amazing actor as well and His lyrics were Immense!!!

Aint mad atcha, Pain, Changes, And Hail mary = Amazing

I agree with you to a degree Andy never be another like him.

[Stu]

I think Tupac's image has been ruined through no fault of his own because along with Bob Marley, another legend of an artist, he has become one of the poster boys of the chav culture. But really, most of these thick ****ers have only heared the admittedly great commercial single Ghetto Gospel.

I've never listened to Tupac's music, but people have talked about him a few times at school and they've talked about how he never stood out and merged into the background as he was just considered "another black rapper" and therefore didn't receive enough acknowledgment for his work as he just fit into the black rapper stereotype. I don't know if his fans would agree but..

Correction, she sang on a studio album. I doubt she was very much involved in the production or the creative writting, not that their was much.

I think he stood out but he stood out a lot more after his death
He only reached a slither off his life potiental though he was only active from 1990-1996 With over 75 million albums sold He is the highest selling rap artist of all-time. With very few updates on his sales, new albums still being released and the continued sales of his prior albums,

Just because a lot of people have not heard something does not mean that 'thing' is good. What is so special about Paris Hilton as a singer? She has an amazingly weak voice. Even on Stars Are Blind. Absoloutely nothing remarkable whatsoever about her. She is just a spoilt brat with the emotional depth of a zebra giving birth to a lump of ****. And because of who she is, not what she has become, and not what she has done, she landed a nice little record deal. If she can be an artist, anybody can. It strips away so much of the prestige and what is so special.

Does the way they change their image affect the quality of their music? Some of the songs from Let Go are exceptional but get over looked.

I think the reason Chrisitna slips under the radar at times is due her being just on the edge of Britney Beyonce, style catchy pop songs but not quite radio friendly enough so she's neither mainstream nor non mainstream.

No but it shows what sell outs they are and how trivial they should be taken as legitimate 'artists' of the genre.

Avril Lavigne ... seriously? ''Hey! Hey! You! You!'' ... THAT Avril Lavigne? The one who went from a

''Im not your typical, busty pop star who sings about relationships in miniskirts to sell albums! Im a skater girl! A REAL rocker! Buy my record!

to a...

''Well I guess I am your typical, busty pop star who sings about relationships in miniskirts to sell albums after all! Buy my album!''.

Does the way they change their image affect the quality of their music? Some of the songs from Let Go are exceptional but get over looked.
No but it shows what sell outs they are and how trivial they should be taken as legitimate 'artists' of the genre.

Okay fair enough she is a total sell out and the Best Damn Thing was not exactly ground breaking but Under My Skin and Let Go were quality meaningful music. imo.

[DamonJ]

Christina is underrated because she doesn't pump out album after album after album with pointless, meaningless lyrics to earn a quick buck or two. She has taken time off to spend time with her family & is working on her album and I am quite excited for her "comeback" and will be rooting for her.

Um, I think someone hacked Damon's account. :tongue:

[MrGaryy]

I'm so scared she will fall flat on her face. I mean not that I would personally care, but it just seems liek no one remembers her atm KGB's chart performance proves that. I just hope her new material is awesoem which I think it will be, she never fails it please me.

And so what if her albums or singles flop? We have the satisfaction of knowing that she's probably written most of the songs herself, spent nearly over a year composing and creating the album. I really don't think we should care about her sales or chart positions. We & she knows that she's worked as hard as she can to produce the best material and she's had plenty of input into her album, and that's truly all that matters. :love:

Yeah well like I said I don't personally care, but naturally as a fan I would like for her to be sucessful and for her music to reach as many people as possible. I am confident the material will be great tho. all the song titles sound cool and i'm very optimistic about this era.

Because Miley, Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift and Cascada have worldwide success and have been in the top of the charts and are VERY frequently recognised. Hell, when I'm at work I have to sell Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers lollipops!

We're talking about smaller artists who don't get as much recognition as they should. That's an underrated artist.

In Avrils case... yes. Her new music is awful... and annoying. What annoys me the most with Avril is that she was going in such a great direction her music was getting so good, then she took a massive step back.

I don't think this topic is defined very well as 'under-rated' can mean different things.

For example, the Jonas Brothers are under-rated. Not for their success in America but in the UK - yes. And the fact not a lot of people know they write like 95% of their stuff.

Whereas an act like Girls Aloud (:hugesmile:) are under-rated in other countries because they are not popular there.

And for example a good singer may have an amazing voice but doesn't have good material. Doesn't that make them under-rated too?

Your twisting a popularity alone standpoint their on being underated though. Whats not to say the whole of America could hear Girls Aloud tommorow morning, but find them utterly ****? Just because nobody has heard of you does not automaticaly entitle you to the right of being underated.

Underrated; not rated enough; if the whole of America heard Girls Aloud tomorrow morning and found them really bad then they'd just be badly rated; I think the term 'underrated' is quite vague.

Are we meaning 'an artist who is not recognised in the main-stream' or 'an artist who is recognised in the mainstream but is often overshadowed by others'?

Underated is more a genuine fantastic artist who attracts rave reviews from small circles or underground publications but does not have the mainstream appeal to make it big or has not been covered, unfairly so, by the larger press.

E.g. Not the Jonas Brothers or Girls Aloud [and thats not a negative reflection on either group, their just not underated, IMO.]

I think Ladyhawke's a big recent one. Which is strange since everyone loves her yet she's never had a high placing single. Shame really, but her album's doing well at least.

Ok. Well i find her under rated

[GhettoSuperstar]

Let's break down the word itself:

Under (i.e. low, poorly) ... rated (popularity/quality)

And from my knowledge the Jonas Brothers are rated very low by many people in this country. I.e. making them under-rated. I am a Jonas fan so yeah I'd know kkai?

So by your definition the Fast Food Rockers were underated? After all, their music was rated very low and they lost popularity rather quick.

The Jonas Brothers are all over TV here. They have free merchandise with every teen magazine in the country. My little sister has her bedroom wall covered in their posters. Their not underated. Or overated. They are a product of exactly what they are : A product.

I totally agree.

I have an 11 year old daughter, so I'm well aware of just how in-your-face the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and all the other "Disney Kids" are.

She has CDs, DVDs, posters, magazines, pencil cases, etc. with all their faces on. Every ad-break on Disney Channel, they are plugging another of their 'products' to their young viewers.

I'm not knocking anyone who likes them, but I fail to see how anyone can class them as under-rated, when they're pushed in the faces of children and parents through the medium of TV and Magazines aimed at the 'tween' age group.

My definition of 'under-rated' is this: A very talented artist, who hasn't reached mainstream audiences, and doesn't get recognition or airplay in the media. That includes TV, Radio, Magazine/Newspaper Articles & Reviews.

Again, this is just my opinion. No disrespect to anyone else's opinion intended.

Here's my short list of under-rated artists:

Anna Nalick
Kate Havnevik

[Shaun]

Add Goldfrapp to the list.

[Princess]

OMFG I just thought of one and it is so is!

Mark Owen! His solo stuff was incredible and it got no recoginition whatsoever. He wrote all the songs himself and he sang them(duh). In Take That,he is the only one who can sing,dance,play guitar and piano and write!
