How could they be considered underrated, people love them here in the US
Why? Because they performed at TOTP?
Dan Reed Network
Haha, no they are crap.

Faith No More were not underrated, they had a decent following in their day
Simple Minds were massively overrated, they were feckin wank
Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Hüsker Dü
Sad that most gimps here don't have a fecking clue what "underrated" actually means.

The Hours

The Fall...
True, they've been influential and all, but they rarely draw more than a few hundred to their gigs, even in the UK.
Not like some of the stadium acts mentioned above...

No way man, The doors are the Greatest band of all time!
Great lyrics. I saw them live, supporting the Dammed, at the Brunel Rooms in Swindon back in 1978.
Saw them live as well. Good band. I think I've still got a vinyl album of theirs knocking around.
Mate, you are my personal hero of the day. Wish i would have been old enough back then. Guess 1977 was the last great year in the history of popular music.
The Pogues....
Can anyone name another song (without googling it) other than "Fairytale of New York"

Good shout
The Doors
Good call
Oasis...not many people heard of them either i suppose...
It was an exciting time.This thread has brought back a lot of memories of great times. Some other bands come to mind 999, Subway Sect, Eater, Chelsea, Generation X, Utravox(before Midge Ure was the front man), The Stranglers, The Police,The Clash. I remember seeing a band, from France, called Little Bob Story. The lead singer was a Short fat bloke with glasses. Brilliant gig though. Don't know what became of them.
John Foxx fronted Ultravox would be a good shout for an underrated band.
