For pop you can't go wrong with a band like the Go-Betweens.

New Radicals were seen as a one-hit-wonder with 'You Get What You Give' - but their whole album [they unfortunately only did one] was incredible.

Bands from the past that were considered 'uncool', but still had great songs (which is what counts): Electric Light Orchestra (already mentioned), Supertramp, Status Quo.

I'm going to base mine on artists before anyone starts!

Jack Penate
His first album was great, had amazing singles particularly. But his new 2nd album is just beautiful, it's called 'Everything Is New'. The vocals, perfect. Production, perfect. Drums, amazing. Every song, BRILLIANT. He should really have that success the likes of the hype that James Blunt, Kings of Leon, Robbie Williams etc have had. But then again I love owning his album and knowing that not everyone in the country is overplaying it!!

The Golden Silvers
Everyone needs to hear their song 'True Romance', it's such a hit! (But not... as of yet). Could be a band to look out for though.

Paloma Faith
She's had some success but a song like 'New York' or 'Stone Cold Sober' should be far more successful. Her album is simply stunning and her voice is close to perfect. She's also a really interesting person which adds to her quality as an artist.

Frankmusik
'Better Off As 2' #26 .... eh, NO. #1 more like, uh huh.
Enough said!

YES YES YES.
'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever' is one of the best albums I own.

Paloma Faith and Frankmusic are selling out buildings and filling up those five stars everywhere they go right now. And they are only going to get bigger. I don't see how they are underated when they are relatively new acts that are getting plenty of attention. It's like saying Florence & The Machine are underrated. Just because you like an act so much that you think everyone should listen to them...

Fair enough, maybe I am just judging it too much on chart positions/record sales because these acts haven't sold nearly half as much as they should. Which is an underestimation in my eyes...

No doubt Frankmusic should be selling more. Not too big on Paloma.

Anybody who compares Spice Girl's to Girl's Aloud though has serious brain damage. Spice Girls were a short lived cultural phenomenon. Girl's Aloud are a pop music phenomenon.

They're fucking fantastic.

Laura Marling-her songwriting skills are immense.
White Lies.
CSS-hugely underrated

Smashing Pumpkins - I know they're my favourite band so it's a bit "hai here's my fave band I'm gonna shovem in your face lololol" of me, but I genuinely think that alot of the songs written are really sensational and not taken notice of enough.

Brigade - Not very heard of but a great band who don't really fit themselves into a musical envelope.

Fony - Not to everyone heres tastes, but so much great writing. Quite a diverse band aswell genrewise.

I would say elbow......not the elbow everyone knows now, the lebow from the past, before they became commercially succesful.
