Most underrated bands ever?

Ozric Tentacles are quite underrated, in the mainstream anyways.

I think this song speaks a lot of sense:

Same band that does Detachable Penis right? Good stuff

Aye man! Thats on their 'Happy Hour' album which was the first I bought.
My personal favourite from that album being 'Wind Up Toys' lol.I recentley bought 'Royal Lunch' which is quality stuff like. Their music is also great and hilarious at the same time.

I'd like to enter Australia's David Bridie... pretty much every project he has put his mind to comes out a high quality outing... lyrically interesting, musically often experimental, melodic and full of expansive atmosphere... he's honestly like and undiscovered Aussie Peter Gabriel. Any of his solo albums, Act of Free Choice, Hotel Radio or Succumb are amazing... also its more than worthwhile to check out any of the bands he's been involved in... those being Not Drowning, Waving and My Friend the Chocolate Cake... Some damn fine music to be found in all of that, for sure.

Walk Among Us is an awesome album. Michale Graves.....meh.

I don't think they are underrated at all. They get a lot of credit. Just because they aren't on the radio or TV every 5 seconds doesn't mean they're underrated.

Late 70's/early 80's ZZ Top needs more love. It's damn good Blues Rock.

Good choice, the thing I love about them is the way they managed to build up a particularly large fan base without the need of a major label or their resources, they just made really good music that people happened to like. I think they're a very good inspiration for new musicians as living proof that you don't need a major label to sell 1,000,000 records.

I think that you only need a couple of Ozric albums though as I get a little bored by them.

I think the most under-rated band was "hum"
