UHM, NO.

Their music was featured on the Lawrence Welk Show

HELL NO.

Underground in the fact that is was word of mouth that caused them to grow so quickly. They didn't play any US TV, were not featured in any of those rags until the early 70s, and they got no, or only negative, mainstream press.

I'm not saying they were an underground group. I'm saying their initial audience growth was a word of mouth thing.

I dig Sigh, but maudlin of the Well are definitely boring. Just because music that's generally considered loud is now being temporarily quiet does not make it the work of genius. Not capitalizing the "m" at the beginning of their name only furthers my suspicion that they are pretentious fartsacks.

His first metal album was Sunbather. That tells you a lot.
