Here we go :P

The Verve I think are very underrated, also a band called The Music

Enid · 05-12-2009, 04:48 PM

M.I.A. Incredibly talented, artistic and intelligent. People listen to Paper Planes and think she is just another rapper.

Stu · 05-12-2009, 04:48 PM

These threads are great, anyway...

Depeche Mode baby. Inevitable I would mention them, I know, but to be fair they are genuinely underrated. Twelve studio albums and thirty years of touring have earned them a huge following in Europe and America but in they're own home country they are known by most as ''that 80's band what that done that Saturday's song''.

They are not that far off U2 in total album sales however they fail to get any airplay whatsoever while U2 get an entire fucking day devoted to them on BBC for the launch of they're new album.

Electrophobia, ladies and gentlemen.

I will post more later.

Goldfrapp for me. They're music is so intricate, so beautiful, so complex yet they have never received the recognition they deserve, they're just looked at as another electropop duo most of the time.

King Gizzard · 05-12-2009, 04:50 PM

They arent most underrated band of all time but an underrated band for me are the Maccabees

Stu · 05-12-2009, 04:50 PM

Agreed strongly on the Verve and M.I.A. Also, I'm going to throw Bat For Lashes into the mix. Critics went crazy for her but she never reached the lofty heights Little Boots or La Roux did this year.

JEDWARD! looool x

no erm.
I would have said Kasabian before this year, now they're the new Kings of Leon. *facepalms*

Maximo Park don't get enough attention.

From yesteryear - Mott the Hoople. Adore them. [but they are Bowie's prodigies, so...

] and Slade.

Girls Cant Catch -
an amazing girlband,, great first song they made, now their 2nd song is great toooo

Tom · 05-12-2009, 04:51 PM

Some people might think I'm a bit weird for saying this because they're kind of high profile, but Snow Patrol. Most only really recognise one song by them, and Leona made one of their songs massive so they get kind of overshadowed in both respects

The Prodigy. Liam Howlett has some superb electronic sensibilities, tinged with a rock fanaticism. They have some absolutely thumping tracks with great sounds and hooks but a lot of people write them off as cheese rave.

setanta · 05-12-2009, 04:52 PM

No way are they the most underrated ever but these lads put a smile on my face because they're nutjobs, but very gifted musicians.

Goldfrapp are great. I remember seeing them on Jools Holland yeeeaaaars ago, performing Black Cherry. At the end, Alison started playing a Theremin, or something similar. I was blown away.

she's not a band. [/pedantic ****]

also, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. These guys should be selling out arenas man, but they're quite unknown to most and get very little radio play. They've released 3 excellent albums in a row and while the critics like them no one seems to know them. Their 'It's Blitz!' album was better quality electropop than anything else that's jumped on the electro bandwagon this year.

Beastie · 05-12-2009, 04:53 PM

Culture Club!!

I only enjoyed YYY's first album. It was ****ing fantastic. After that they turned too "indie" for me.
