I am going to suggest a strange one because they were actually one of the biggest bands of the 70's - but should have been even bigger, they are also overlooked these days because of the glam connection.
I read Dave Hills autobiography recently and he said Slade were in the right place ant the right time but I disagree, I think if it wasn't for Glam and if they had dressed normally they would have been much bigger.
Ozzy has said that Noddy Holder has / had the best voice in the history of rock and I'm not sure you can argue much against that.
On top of Noddy you had the ultimate showman and great guitarist in Dave Hill, Jim Lea was a hugely talented musician and Don Powell was the banging man
Unfortunately they moved out to America to try and crack the USA but it was the wrong time and when they returned Punk Rock was in full flow.
Noel Gallagher has said that this song is one of the greatest songs of all time.
I think this is probably my favourite
Or this?
“Hello, I'm your MP. Actually I'm not. I'm your candidate. Gosh.”

Not quite grungy enough to be popular with the grunge kids and not radio-friendly enough to be at the forefront of the Britrock wave. I listened to On The Turn the other day and it still stands up as one of the best rock albums of that era IMO.
Honourable mentions to Baby Chaos and Honeycrack while I'm on the subject of under-rated late-90s rock bands!

Not sure he entirely fits the bill of underrated but Elvis Costello has to be up there for me.
Of course when he finally pops his clogs the radio stations will play Oliver's Army and A Good Year for the Roses whereas from a huge back catalogue there are many better songs. A personal favourite ..
Then of course there is the ultimate underrated band Big Star.
Declan has a massive body of work and produced some brilliant albums. Some of his lesser known records such as Trust and Imperial Bedroom are my favourites.
His demos with Paul McCartney are worth a listen to. They really should have made a proper album together. Missed opportunity.
Although when he does eventually pop his clogs I shall be mostly playing this. Is so sad.
And this is actor Ryan Gosling and a mate (who met and bonded over music when they were dating a pair of sisters). They only made one album. The intention was to create an eerie musical but they ended up scrapping the stage part and just made an album of the music. Could've been bigger on the evidence of the album, but for Gosling's acting career.
