Muscians You Think Are Underrated

Unknown
edited November -1 in General Discussion
Anyone in particular that had some hits but you think should be more popular than pet rocks in the 70's?

I'll start... The Wallflowers of course! Their album Bringing Down The Horse went platinum several times and one a few Grammys but since then, only truly interested fans have really kept up, and there 3 subsequent albums and Jakob Dylan's solo album were just better and better. My favorite being Red Letter Days.

    Everybody Else. By far one of the most fun and uniting bands I've ever heard. I have tested it on all age groups and every single one likes it. How can you go wrong?
    Also the band Fun.

    A guy called MC Lars. He is so clever, so funny and so talented which all comes out in his music. It's a shame he's so unheard of because he deserves so much more.

    The Greening. The released and EP "She's So Electric." Great psychedelic rock band. Their video "Sunday Afternoon" is really trippy.

    Ha! I must have seen EBE about a hundred times!  You're right, they're a lot of fun. Any idea what they're up to these days? I saw Carrick sometime last year and he had said they were working on some music and would be playing soon...but that must have been about 6mos. ago.

    Here's a list of bands / musicians I think deserve more recognition:

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

    The Morning Benders

    Miniature Tigers

    Robbers On High Street

    Mellowdrone

    The Waking Hours

    Fanfarlo

    Beach House

    Bears

    They are broken up, but Dispatch.  One of the biggest independent music artists of all time, with 120,000 coming to their farewell show in 2004, and selling out 3 nights in Madison Square Garden in 2007, which was 5 years after they stopped touring.

    Underrated...

    Cake, Hawksley Workman, Jamiroquai, TV on the Radio, Hot Chip.

    Completely agree about TV on the Radio.  I'd also like to add Pinback, though.
  • EMc2EMc2
    I'd also like to add Beck and Ben Folds to the list. Just looking through my cd's today and realized I missed them in my last post! Surprised

    James Brown...I know he is well known and appreciated, but I find a lot of people I know don't appreciate his music because it is too repetitive, or too annoying!?, but he's music is so original and groovy! 

    He started funk, if it wasn't for his music there'd be no Hip Hop, no pop no Michael Jackson...etc. And also he was really hard working and was very demanding of his band members...practice does perfect :) does anyone agree??
