Here we go :P

[InOne]

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

[Enid]

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

I liked Paper Planes lol

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.

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.

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.

[King Gizzard]

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

[Stu]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

JEDWARD! looool x

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.
