Criminally overlooked, except in Greece where they were huge apparently.

Not sure underrated, but Swans is fantastic. Brutal, oppressive, horrifyingly beautiful sound.
Big Thief is the pure opposite, it’s like a comforting hug and warm coffee.
Sisters Euclid. They were a Canadian band who recently called it a career after like 27 years of mostly-under-the-radar instrumental jangle jazz, or something to that effect. They did win a Juno for an album of Neil Young instrumentals and reinterpretations called “Run Neil Run”, but outside of the Toronto are and southwest Ontario I don’t think they were widely known. Members of the band have played in all sorts of other bands and with other folks, many of which y’all would recognize like Norah Jones and the Doobie Brothers, they all really accomplished musicians. I saw them live dozens of times before they called it a day, and I always saw and heard something new with every performance. Seeing them live was definitely the best way to take them in, as their studio albums seemed like they were just scaffolding for the live shows.
Hoping for a reunion show in 5-10 years. I’d travel for it.
You know, Supertramp is pretty underrated nowadays. As big as they used to be, I’m the only one (besides a friend’s parent who has walls and walls of vinyl) who even listens to them ever. Their style is just so varied and unique, and nearly all of their albums could be considered all-time greats.
“Oh yeah, the one that made ‘Take the Long Way Home’”
Breakfast in America is always a fun album to play for people, because you get “Wait, this song is Supertramp too? And it’s the same album??”
Supertramp’s Dreamer is one of my favorite songs of all time. Such a fun band
Social Distortion has so many amazing songs and maybe 2 or 3 get rare airplay on the radio.
My first thought too. I can listen to their entire discography without skipping a single song. And they are even better live. Saw them a month ago and even after tonsil cancer Mike hasn’t slowed down a bit.
Punk isn’t dead, it just put on a dress and moved to Japan

My favorite underrated band is Red Hot Rebellion.
My top three favorite songs of theirs are For the Benefit of Evil, You Bring The Thunder, I’ll Bring The Lightning, and Crushing It.

Boards of Canada.
The God Machine. They were a shoegaze band from the early 90s. Sadly, one of the three members died, so they never got big.
I think 36 Crazyfists were underrated. They sort of made it, but never really got huge. I also think their music only got better and their last 2 albums were amazing.
I absolutely love this specific sound.
Foreign Hands is a new band that comes close.
Wow i haven’t thought about that band in like a decade
Ramsay Midwood
J Roddy Walton and the Business
Metallica are decent enough
Not sure if underrated, but I don’t see people talking about Foreign Air. At all.
Dayseeker
Dark Sun is a fantastic album.
100% I love it!
