Rush sell out stadiums wherever they go... Underrated?
The Doors - underrated?
FFS, if you haven't heard about The Doors or know at least 5 of their songs, you must've been living under a rock.
There's probably at least a million people in the world prepared to list The Doors as one of their 10 favorite bands....
That Elvis bloke was pretty underrated, my 3 year old cousin haven't heard of him...
The Band
Hot Tuna
Hot Tuna
I realise that but it's just the general feeling that most around me don't like the band as much as I do
That's the reason why you see many prominent bands being bought up in these topics 'cos some love them much more than normal and find it amazing that the rest don't appreciate them as highly
Porcupine Tree are pure bliss.
Elemeno P
The Alarm
Hugh Cornwall
Jean Jacques Burnel
Jet Black
Dave Greenfield

You could say the same about the Doves. They've a huge cult following, and would no doubt sell out huge venues, but ask the normal bloke in the street and most wouldn't be able to name a tune.
Cheers for the indirect recommendations fellas. Ended up liking all four of those.
you confuse "underrated" with "unknown"
Fair point.
However, Rush play progressive rock - a type of music that's genreally out of favour with most critics/media, quite out of proportion with the genre's audience. After punk came along, prog rock has to this day been viewed as extremely "unhip"..
So, the same could be applied to all hugely popular prog bands like Dream Theatre, Jethro Tull, Yes etc.
If anything, you could argue that prog is underrated, but I don't think Rush comes out better worse than other bands in the genre...
(I had a Rush craze in my early teens btw, bought all their albums in the span of a year. Not my preferred listening nowadays, but I revisit them once every couple of years

The Clash - in the US at least

The 2 tracks up on myspace from their new album I liked a lot. They still are going strong.
