I like their latest one best but also love the first album. I think their second LP was a tad lost in direction. Still great though.

Are we limiting this to bands who have had some commercial success in the UK but are largely overlooked? Otherwise this'll turn into a 'please love MY favourite unheard of band' sesh. (Mando Diao, Goldspot, (We Are) Performance - if anyone's interested )

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.
Yeah, she has a band. A bit like Marilyn Manson I guess, who are in fact a band [rotating members and all] but most only recognize Mazza.

Focus are quality!

I guess she's both really. In the studio she plays all the instruments herself, but she has a live band.

Who? M.I.A? As far as I know, she produces all of her own music but during performances she has DJs and MCs with her.

The Band were magic but probably got a little overshadowed because of the fact they worked with Bob Dylan for quite awhile. Still though, they're exceptional musicians.

Going on the assumption we're talking about famous groups that don't get much recognition, I'm going to say Linkin Park.

The Coral were quite underrated, although they were a bit hit and miss at times. I was thinking of The Rolling Stones, but I think they're probably just somewhere in the middle.

Pretty gay of me to be mentioning this band in the first place but they had some killer tracks, even though they bordered and tipped over into silliness on so many occassions. Still though, they had some great tracks.

Oh Stu, Japan and The Cult are really good, even though I've never been mad keen on heavy metal stuff.

Gorillaz were popular but overlooked I think. They had so many sounds and experimented with different genres. One of the most unique bands I think.
