Mott The Hoople
I totally agree, Mott the Hoople and Ian Hunter get no respect or acknowledgement because the Stones and Kinks got all the attention back then.
Also at that time was a little known band from Essex founded in 1975
called Eddie and the Hot Rods. They got lost from the mainstream, yet they were paving the way for the faster rock/punk sound. | |

Posted: 8/19/2011 3:40:50 AM | I'll add another vote for Mott the Hoople, Hunter and Ronson rocked with input from
Bowie. I saw them on Broadway doing Marionette and they were awesome; it also
helped that the opening act was Queen.
Check out Zero with Steve Kimock; lots of shows on etree. cheers, O | |

Running strong after 35 years
over 25 albums
Lemmy has been on the road for over 45 years. most groups have packed it in after less than half that time.
They still fill concert halls and tour non stop.
He is the elder statesman of rock and roll.
Sited as an influence and inspiration of every large named act in the last 35 years.
Still believes in sex drugs and rock and roll while the newbies are eating tofu salads.
From all interviews and mentions , one of the true heros of rock , a surviver.
WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL
any one with a better rep and hype pales to their history
New artist are not worthy of sharing the same stage
51 % mother f**ker 49% son of a b*tch
Ask any of the big name rock stars out there if they don't own any of their albums
Never had a major record deal, never had a smash hit, never hyped beyond their own press clippings --- 100% real and still kicks ass
WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL | |

I have 11 albums (including a couple of rarities/b-sides ones) and in my opinion there's not one bad song from the stoner rock band that started off heavy and raw and have changed to become more bluesy over the years, great music, with intelligent lyrics that cover many subjects including history, politics and religion but often in a quite humorous way.
There's many more bands I could add, but Clutch are my favourite, and I rarely get tired of listening to them. | |

Don't think I could pick a " most " . There are so many.
Listening to these guys right now. Bullets and Octane. Album " The Revelry" is great start to finish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqwfvuvMLN4
Holy crap, I can't believe someone else knows about these guys. They are flat out amazing. Seriously, if you like 100% Pure rock and roll, these guys are for you. Incredible live, and just amazing music.
Some others:
Opiate for the masses... Drummer is amazing to watch play, music is damn good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuJaafQg2QU
Alien Ant Farm... ALL incredible musicians, completely underrated
This is them crashing the BET music awards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNM2tV3PA_8
Jimmy Eat World... i know they are popular, but once again, they get looked over as talented musicians.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8HhwLCObDA
My Chemical Romance... I think these guys, even with their huge success and popularity, are looked over as real musicians. Most people see the make-up and just overlook them as pop, but having seen them live multiple times; I can assure you these guys have their shit together. Phenomenal live, and very entertaining.

Then, if you enjoy metal and things of that nature...

Posted: 10/3/2011 8:22:30 AM | Most underrated band ever, Anathema.
Also Jeff Loomis.. the guy is a living guitar god, yet guitar awards and magazine columns are given to little brats playing in metalcore bands. Blows my mind.
Oh, and don't forget Tosin Abasi. Just youtube him if you don't know who he is. | |

Posted: 10/6/2011 3:16:58 AM | I think determining under-rated has to be specific to the demographic that listens to that genre. For instance Portishead is mentioned a few times. They might be under-rated in a global since but for people that like "trip hop" they are one of THE most recognizable names.
Here is a list:
Puscifer
The Knife
Leona Naess
Isis
Mazzy Star
Beth Orton | |

Posted: 10/10/2011 5:53:51 AM | I watched a documentary on Rush last night. I've been a fan for a long time but wasn't expecting just how enjoyable watching it would be. It amazed me how many members of highly successful bands of today participated in the documentary and talked about how great an influence that Rush had on them, but yet Rush was never really that successful hit wise. Never had a single song in even the top 20 of the charts.
Also Jack White and his former band The White Stripes. A GREAT documentary to watch is "It Might Get Load" featuring him, Jimmy Page and The Edge from U2. Well worth watching for guitar fans. | |

Posted: 10/16/2011 11:11:28 PM | Yeah Killing Joke was ahead of their time fathering the new industrial punk sound.
I was lucky enough to catch them in the early 80's when they first started playing over here in the states. I think they have some new music out that's worthy of a listen. | |

Posted: 10/22/2011 1:56:27 AM | | This is an easy question. The Smiths, period. I mean who has a better voice and great lyrics. I've heard many people/friends tell me how much they hate Morrissey, but have admitted he has the best voice. | |

Posted: 10/22/2011 2:39:08 AM | i would consider the smiths over rated. morrissey sounds like a eunuch.
who has a better voice with better lyrics?
off the top of my head?
freddie mercury. steven tyler. robert plant. brent smith. geoff tate. elton john. billy joel. robin zander.
i could continue but hey, music is subjective. i'd rather listen to poison then the smiths. lol.
k.w.
the cure sucks too | |

Posted: 10/22/2011 12:30:20 PM | | without question for me, its boards of canada... brilliant electronica act which have been going for years, if you heard the song skyliner then you'll know what i mean. although on the indie side i reckon super furry animals! another genius band with their artistic greatness, all 9 albums are completely different | |
