Who is the most under-rated band ever?

Weren't they named after Cobain's head?

 

Yes, I concur with that. Both should have been/done so much more but their body of work is generally not bad.

 

Saw Social D at a show in Phoenix. Great, great band.

Husker Du, Hoodoo Gurus, nice.

I'll add some Bob Mould Sugar as well.

I think I will turn on Napster.

Nice to see someone else went to college in the late 80s.

 

You're bloody well wrong.
Good band, though.

 

Here is VH1's top 20 Hard Rock Acts of all time...

20 Alice Cooper
19 The Clash
18 Ozzy Osbourne
17 The Ramones
16 Cream
15 Pink Floyd
14 Soundgarden
13 Queen
12 The Sex Pistols
11 Aerosmith
10 Kiss
9 Guns N' Roses
8 The Who
7 Van Halen
6 Nirvana
5 Metallica
4 AC/DC
3 Jimi Hendrix
2 Black Sabbath
1 Led Zeppelin


Based on that list -- AC/DC, Queen and Aerosmith are under rated

 

Uh, Hungry Eyes?!?!?!? I don't think so.

 

For anyone interested

Bob Mould

Replacements

Pixies (God were they great)

Hoodoo Gurus

And yes, we may have laughed at them a long time ago, but this band's songs just get better and better over time. I know it's not Zepplin or the Stones, but they are not that bad.

Song starts about a minute in.

So if I would say what is the one band that we forgot about laughed about as a goof, but they actually were pretty damn good... my money is on Men At Work

and my God, how the mighty have fallen

please watch the above video, it will shock you

 

Funny how clearly the music can date you. Yeah, in college from 1985 to 1990.

I've never seen Social D live, which is odd, because they're actually from my home town.

I never understood why the Hoodoo Gurus weren't bigger. Their best work is as good as anything from the era. Their bass player now has a side project with Rob Hirst (the drummer from Midnight Oil) called Ghostwriters. They're very good but impossible to find here. I just ordered their new CD from Australia.

 

oh please

Tori Amos is a 10th-rate, watered-down, Kate Bush ripoff

the notion that Tori Amos influenced anybody is just silly. she stole the whole routine from Kate Bush, who did it 100 times better many years earlier

 

Tori is talented, but she's nowhere near Kate Bush's league for sure

 

Fishbone, MXPX, The Descendants, ALL, The Smiths, Bad Brains, Moby, Social Distortion and Reel Big Fish

 

you are a fucking god among men

every one of those bands is the shit, except the Doors who are shit

Love Tractor was my favorite band for a lotta years. Hoodoo Gurus loudest band I've ever seen. Smithereens

and whoever said the Replacements, Uncle Tupelo and Raspberries, dig it

whoever said Barenaked Ladies, you're on drugs. whoever said government mule and moe., you are joking?

I will add Badfinger
