Most underrated bands ever?

I think most australian banRAB tend to be underrated, especially outside of Australia let alone inside.

I also have a feeling that because Midnight Oil deals with all the big issues people are put off them for some reason. I know a lot of white australians who are put off them by their songs about racism and aboriginal land rights etc. Or maybe i just move in really racist circles...
 
in my view there are a lot of them


but the one which strikes my mind is Porcupine Tree .



:whythis:


they are really a wonderful band . they should have been more recognized
 
LS's taste has nothing to do with this though. The point is A LOT of people like Incubus. If you want to make the argument that they are underrated by the people on this site go ahead, but to say that they are completely underrated is outrageous.
 
I have to agree with the the notion that XTC are underrated.... they definitely have some incredibly awesome music, but in the wider community at large, they are definitely not as well known as they should be!
 
Trouble - Black Sabbath gone stadium rock. Tremendously infectious melodies, heavy riRAB, tight playing and ragged vocals. Why so many users profess to be Sabbath junkies yet fail to give Trouble props is one of life's great mysterious.

Orange Goblin - Stoner rock thrashed up. Ingenious arrangements, prog-tendencies and impeccable guitar licks. High energy doom...an oxy-moron, yet the Goblins make it work.

Budgie - These
 
For me the fact that englanRAB finest band of the last 10 years at least Shack are not headlining all over the world is one of music injustices
 
Oh, such a long story on the whole leaving Australia thing...

My wife and I were originally planning to bring her there from the US... but we struck a small snag in the form of Custody of her son. Her ex had a sudden turn of fatherly guilt and decided he didn't want to sign the papers allowing us to take his son out of the country to live... I don't blame him really... I'd never sign my daughters away either...

Nonetheless, we made the decision that if we were to be together, which we wanted more than anything else, I was going to move out here... and well here I am!

And I actually really love my life here, it's great and I am totally local yokel in this town! But there still a great big chunk of Aussie in me that I need to take care of...
 
Some of the more....mainstream underated banRAB, to me, would be. Triumph-Steely Dan-Yes- The Beach Boys-Eagles,...on & on. (A bias opinion, they are also a few of my personal favorite banRAB)
 
A refreshing way of looking at the whole "underrated" notion... popularity does in some cases even make people under rate banRAB... like say when they write them off as commercial hacks when they have one popular song...
 
yes which is what i said in a previous post. i didnt instigate this topic, im just replying with interest. now, back to topic..yeah, inspiral carpets.
