In terms of musicianship I've always felt The Darkness are totally underrated. The guitars, the vocals, the basslines... not to mention the effort that goes into the whole image of the band etc. Very, VERY talented guys who are often overlooked.
Also, if you guys ain't heard of a band called Steel Panther, give them a listen. Totally satirical and play on the stereotypes of the 80's music scene; sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll! Again, terrific musicianship, their guitarist Satchel (Russ Parrish) played for Rob Halford's (Judas Priest) side project "Fight". Ironically, their lead singer Michael Starr (Ralph Saenz) was a former assistant professor of English at an American University before turning to the foul mouthed project that is, Steel Panther!
