Most Underrated Bands Of All Time.

Dean Wareham is touring and playing their songs next month

Damn that sounds great - £27.50 in London April. Very tempting.

Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm is a modern classic but in my opinion they never got even close to it with subsequent releases.

Fortunately they didn’t drag themselves out too long.

I've always thought Nick Drake is a bit overrated. Not bad at all but I guess what happened helped.

Much prefer Bill Fay.

Good shout that, my favourite :

 

[summerisle]

The Young Marble Giants.



Lots of 60s bands deserved more.

I did mention Luna, but good shout on Galaxie 500.

A bit iffy that (IMHO) given how the band broke up - would prefer to see him get Damon and Naomi back if he wants to tour and capitalise on the Galaxie 500 songs [although maybe they don't want to do it I guess].
Damon had to go to court just to retrieve the masters of their three albums from a bankrupt record label, and that's what's kept their music alive to this day.

Los Lobos.

Known for the somewhat tiresome movie cover of "La Bamba" but they are truly wonderful musicians.

Ah, I didn't know any of that.

I'll throw two more out there. Hum and Shudder to Think. You'd Prefer an Astronaut and Pony Express Record were amazing. PER was a hard listen at first so I get why they never achieved a huge following. It grew on me though to the point where it was just a beautiful mess that I couldn't stop listening to.

The James gang in the Joe Walsh era....

Incubus were one of those weird bands that were technically mainstream but they didn’t really hit the spotlight too much. Most of their albums were very solid.

Light Grenades was a #1 record here in the States. I was gonna say them earlier but they've charted quite well. Brilliant band btw.

Arthur Russell did everything perfectly in his many guises.
