Most Underrated Band (You Know)

World Order, but someone posted a couple of their music videos on the forums a few weeks back so I'm not sure that I'd call them completely 'underrated'.
I've heard about them, from a friend in fact, and if nothing else they are unique (and obviously not a lot of people know about them)Scuzzymcfi said:
OT: Poets of the Fall. I pledge to get these guys noticed so...
Sodom remains my favorite underrated band. They're somewhat known, but aren't taken too seriously, despite two fantastic albums and several other excellent/good ones.
Also Therion. They're short changed quite a bit, I've found, for the developments that they've given to symphonic metal.

They've been around for ages, but Meshuggah dont get anywhere near the amount of praise they deserve, i only know 1 other person who's heard of them, and that was because i was listening to them in class.

Nice, I was looking for things like this.TeeBs said:
Try Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai and the album that Salyu made for the film "All About Lily Chou Chou", it has some very relaxing music.
Just note that sometimes Sigur Ros and EiS sometimes go a little more heavier, but still they are very relaxing, at least for me. Try them!
"January 2nd, 2011. 5:44 p.m. I entered into a thread which I have seen like ten times in the past. I still decided to give my opinion into Underrated Bands, and gave my usual list of 21 bands. Still interested in new music, I decided to read the rest of the posts, and have been coming into some new music, but not really so much of my interest except for 2 songs, one which I was really taken away by it, and I feel that I...BonsaiK said:
MUST INVESTIGATE FURTHER!"
Guess which song it was.
I think all the bands I love have their own fan base. Where hardcore and metal are concerned, bands support each other and fans are incredibly loyal so they aren't underrated in that sense
Commercially, I'd say that my two favourite bands have commercial potential but not in our time. The Gaslight Anthem and Gallows both would have been huge in the 70s/80s because their music was what that time period needed/demanded. Gaslight would have been as inspirational as Springsteen and Gallows would have had the impact of Minor Threat or The Clash. It's a different world now, though

Is that the band who did the JCB song then disappeared into obscurity again?jamiedf said:
OT: The Flobots
Virtually none of my friends have heard of them and of them not one of them (there are only like 2 anyway) have heard any song other than Handlebars when their other songs are so much better musically and lyrically
The other songs and albums may appeal to you more because that one is a little different to the others but it is my favourite
I'm 16 in 5 days and I know of less than Jake though I don't seriously listen to them and I love Reel Big Fish. So there!echioderm said:

You have a nice taste, anything you want to recommend me?TeeBs said:
Oh, I nearly forgot! Here you have a cookie
Im going on a limb that you also know of Godspeed You! Black Emperor but if not look them up.Blue Musician said:
Nujabes
Uyama Hiroto
Olafur Arnalds
Long Distance Calling
Although none of them are post rock (except for the last one) it seems like stuff that would be up your alley.
I really liked Olafur Arnalds and Long Distance Calling, thanks for introducing them to me. I didn't really like the other 2 songs, but hey, I'm always open for new music. Again, thanks!TeeBs said:
