Under Appreciated Bands/Artists?

If you asked Liam and/or Noel Gallagher, the most correct answer in this thread would be Oasis, especially considering they were better than The Beatles! 😂😂
 
Dr. Dog
Biffy Clyro
 
Cake
The Shins
Queens of the Stone Age
The Hives
The Xx
Franz Ferdinand
The Strokes
Rage Against The Machine
Soundgarden
Death Cab For Cutie
Cage The Elephant
Two Door Cinema Club


I know, some of these were pretty popular for a bit. Still feel underrated to me.

Triumph was huge around here back in the '80s. I saw them several times in St. Louis, always sold out. Great live shows.
 
J.J. Cale. The writer of so many great tunes that others made famous (Clapton, Skynyrd, Santana, .....), but his original recordings were all really good too.
 
A couple that were incredibly fun, good time rock and roll, and amazing live: Foghat, and The J. Geils Band
 
Neil Diamond based on song writing
 
John Caferty and the Beaver Brown Band
 
Joy Division
 
Most of my suggestions have already been mentioned. Just a few more to add to the list:
Cat Stevens
Badfinger
Faces
Skid Row
Blues Traveler

In terms of stage performance powerman 5000 was amazing. I used to go to a concert series called Memphis in May years back and so many good bands there.

Since the absolute best genre of music isn't allowed in this post, that's all I will add. Nah, C W McCall is great, I can't do it without putting in an underappreciated country icon.

That's because their lead singer, Michael David Cummings, better known as Spider One, is Rob Zombie's younger brother. (y) Plus "When Worlds Collide" is a bad ass song
 
The Pixies are a great band that have influenced a ton of bands (Nirvana, Weezer, etc.). They are underrated by a lot.
 
The statement band of Punk Rock (at least in the U.K.) of the late 70's ..... Sex Pistols

There’s a TON of them. I listened to a show one time talking about all the songs he’d written that have been hits for others and it’s pretty eye opening
