Most underrated bands/artists

[LibraLiz1973]

Throw in-

who do YOU think should be (or should have been) WAY more famous?

[NightWatcher]

1. Blind Melon, they only got credit for "No Rain" but they were great

[LibraLiz1973]

2. Agreed!

It was a tragedy to lose such talent so prematurely

[Left Is Write]

3. The Mavericks.

[Mike03]

4. Courtney Love and Hole's "Live Through This."

Most people hate me for what I have to say about this, but as a huge fan of Nirvana, Kurt, Smashing Pumpkins--an obsessive fan of all of them, all of the CDs, bands, peformances and vault-leftover recordings, I still believe to this day that Courtney Love's album "Live Through This" is the one album that will be remembered if this sorry earth survives another decade.

6. Live Through This is a CLASSIC

My favs are "Violet", "Doll parts" and "Asking For It"

[Mike03]

8. Whoa, thank you--It's so very nice to meet someone who appreciates this album. NT

17. HOLE

"Live Through This" is one of my favs. I still listen to it. My fav band, is a band out of New Jersey called "THURSDAY" They give me something to believe in and they are seriously under-rated.
Geoff Rickly, the lead singer of the band, is an amazing songwriter and performer.

5. Warren Zevon

Don't know why he wasn't bigger. The man was a total genius.

:shrug:

7. Totally. And that last song, Keep Me In Your Heart For A While..

omg, tear fest

[harmonicon]

9. dexys midnight runners

They were just a one hit wonder in the states, but bigger in the UK. Still, a group that put out 3 amazing and very unique albums and always went their own way, no matter what was "cool" at the time.

Also, the boo radleys - better and more interesting than blur or oasis.

10. Me!

Okay, so I haven't exactly gone out and played or anything... but still. :P

11. Mazzy Starr, Tori Amos, Phantom Planet, Social Distortion, Luscious Jackson, Aimee Mann

To name a few

[flvegan]

12. I'll second Social Distortion and Luscious Jackson.

[LibraLiz1973]

13. Sweet!!!

[Mike03]

15. Social Distortion was an amazing band.

It's so good to see someone acknowledge them!

[LibraLiz1973]

16. They are still kicking ass and taking names

Gotta love em

[LibraLiz1973]

14. Adding Ben Folds

[hellbound-liberal]

18. I think Johnny Winter is one of the most underrated artists ever

He is a true original! Here he is putting his special touch on Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited.
