Good call on the Associates. Their Peel session (which I believe is on youtube) is the best I've heard.

I liked Big Country.

I’m adding Pulp, I know they are well recognised and adored but they are still underated.

Having read this thread though I’m currently going for a tie break of Squeeze and XTC.

Most underrated current band is The Shacks (from NYC). Been around a couple of years. Incredibly talented IMO, yet almost completely unknown.

I loved that. Gorgeous breathy vocals. I'll have to check out more, cheers.

I'd never heard of them but I saw them support Django Django in NYC last month and they blew me away. The record company posted their brilliant debut LP on YouTube in April and still only 6K people have streamed it. Scandalously underrated!

Great thread.

Pixies is a good call.

The Animals are the forgotten band from the 60s and 70s and were so much more than just House of the Rising Sun. Burdon's voice was incredible.

While the Cure are hardly underrated, I'm not sure why they're not everybody's favourite band from the 80s and 90s.

My music tastes changed a lot with my move out of the UK, but two artists who never got quite the fame they deserved because they died so young are Jeff Buckley and Lhasa de Sela.

The Cure are great because not only can they write brilliant catchy pop songs like Friday I'm In Love or In Between Days, they can also produce thought provoking albums like Pornography and Disintegration.

The Cure aren't "everybody's favourite band from the 80s and 90s" because there are at least two hundred better artists from this era

Well, how about that! :-) And your ava is good old Wolfie Smith of the Tooting Popular Front, which just happens to be where I was born!

Also, if you do listen to Radio Suffolk apart from the football stuff, Stephen Foster has been playing some stuff this week by TC&I, who are Colin Moulding and Terry Chambers from the original XTC line-up


I work split shifts and I start at six. First thing I do after lighting the oven is tune the radio into Foz. I'm currently playing a bit of Supertramp on Spotify on the back of something he played earlier today. Also, on the topic of music on Radio Suffolk,Bernie Keith's Rock 'n' Roll Heaven 6-8 Saturday night after the football is the best two hours of radio of the week.

The Doolittle album is very good but it's not under rated. It's always been well spoken about by the music media and fans of that type of music.

It's gets 4.15 / 5 on rateyourmusic which is an extremely high score. Number 1 album for 1989.

Hardly underrated.

Thunder

Should have been a much bigger band, but struggled when the grunge scene became huge. Danny Bowes is one of the best voices in rock.

Playing in Ipswich in February next year, always fantastic live. I am travelling from Gloucestershire to see them with my sister who is also a big fan. Good news is that they are playing on a Saturday night, and Town are also playing at home that day!


Bang average rock band at best. Although the singer has a good voice.

One of the few bands mentioned in this thread that I have heard of-Rod Argent etc.


Zombies recorded a fantastic album. Have saw them twice in recent years and the old fellow singing has a voice of a 25 year old, Colin Blunstone.

Useless bunch with no musical talent if this clip is anything to go by. Just a racket.

The only thing they'd be useful for would be turning upside down and mopping the floor.

Were they a joke?
