Most under rated bands ever

Blur and SO underrated.

But of a stretch to call them "underrated" though, Mags, considering they're widely regarded as one of the 90s biggest Brit bands. Think they did ok for themselves, haha.

I think they are a bit underrated. Damon Albarn as a talent though doesn't get nearly enough praise. It's his work with Jamie Hewlett be it Gorillaz or Monkey Journey to the West that is his most impressive work personally.

And as bizarre as this sounds I actually think U2 are underrated. I think their body of work, particularly from War in 1983 to Pop in 1997 is quite simply incredible and covers an unbelievable amount of ground. Taking away the (admittedly very big) aspect of Bono's massive ego and a patchy last few records that hasn't matched the grandness of the tours they have staged, U2 were one of the most creative and forward thinking artists in rock music. It's too easy to forget that sometimes.

As Bruce Springsteen said 'U2 hungered for it all, and built a sound, and they wrote the songs that demanded it. They're the keepers of some of the most beautiful sonic architecture in rock and roll'.

Then I REALLY don't understand this thread. U2 are one of the biggest bands on the planet and have been for some time, yet they can be classified as "underrated"? 

The Heavy.

Only heard of them through Fifa 13 - Don't say nothing. And Borderlands - How you like me now.

Only have a few thousand views on Youtube, but they have some decent songs.

LCD Soundsystem.

I got into these guys about a year ago.  They have a really big following, mostly underground. They never were a huge band like U2. Pearl Jam etc...but they should be. They put out brilliant albums and songs, they had insane live performances and sold out arenas, but they never got huge press or huge commercialization.  They broke up and had a sold out farewell concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC a little while back and it was amazing. But they are definitely worth checking out.

The video is from their farewell concert at MSG.

Yeah I think so. Yes everyone knows of them but very few mention them when talking about best bands of the 80s ir of all time. For me they blow most out of the water

Love Tears for Fears too, classic 80's band, my favourite is Everybody wants to rule the world, I could listen to it over and over. Just listen to the beginning.

Hot Chip are massively underrated & brilliant live. Saw them at Glastonbury last year, only knew a few songs at the time but it was probably the best live performance I've witnessed
