Under Rated bands

Postby kilik^ » Wed Dec 18, 2002 8:26 pm

Everybody here knows that most of rock bands that are "In the top of the charts" the majority of them SUCK!, and really those bands do not deserve to have that position.

And i gets on my nervs because there are plenty of EXCELENT bands out there, and those bands are not given the recognition that they deserve.

One of the bands that i think is under rated by the audience is Nonpoint.
Nonpoint is an awsome band and they have 3 records and the 3 records have not been well recieved in my opinion. Yeah there are famous on the underground scene, and their getting some popularity but i think that this is a band that needs to be heard.

Well i named one that i think is under rated. can somebody give some more names

A lot of people I know hate 311, for reasons unknown to me. No appreciation for fine art, I tell you.

Rodan, Slint, Gastr del Sol, Alice Donut, Smog, The Bevis Frond, Windy and Carl, The Major Stars, Magic Hour, Ghost, A Minor Forest, The Charlambides, Abunai!, The Legendary Pink Dots, Bardo Pond, Jessica Baliff, Eleventh Dream Day, Stars of the Lid, Retsin, The Magnetic Fields, A Silver Mt. Zion, Pan Sonic, Kinski, Palace, Yume Bitsu, Ruby Falls, The Mountain Goats, Cynthia Dall, A Scanner Darkly, Papa M, 00100. I could go on and on. None of these bands will ever reach commercial success, but I've seen them live and own their albums, so that's good enough for me.

And I'm going to make an AMV for every goddamn one! :)

Abandoned Pools is pretty cool. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert when they opened for the Garbage show I went to a while back. They kick some ass. And Nightwish OWNS.

Uberwhaffuck?!? Linkin Park, the most over-used band on this website, underrated? What are you smoking, and why aren't you sharing?

The rapture

got courted by all the majors this year and refused to sign a contract that ripped them off. In 2 years, we'll all be bowing to them.

You wouldn't put them in there if you lived in Australia, its just that a lot Aus shit that makes huge over here becomes small anywhere else. Think of all the underrated Aus bands then who can't even get a national audience let alone international.
Also silverchair now have a new single and are beginning to tour soon.

Taproot, definitely. I saw them live with Linkin Park and Alien Ant Farm, right after Linkin Park's original CD came out. They put on a better show than both other bands. The lead singer is one of the most energetic and friendly front men ever. He jumped off the second floor of the club onto the people below, brought someone up on stage, and even stopped the show when someone fell up front and couldn't get up. He walked through the crowd, and pushed my friend's glasses back up on his nose. I own their two albums, and they both rock!

I don't know if I'll ever understand this. What's the reasoning behind bashing the band whenever the opportunity arises? I'll admit, I am a Linkin Park fan, but I wouldn't call them underrated (although with all the outspoken hatred of the group here I can see why someone might list them). Anyway, I agree with Iratus on Taproot being underrated, they're one of my favorite groups but they really don't get all that much recognition (from what I see anyway). And yes, they have an absolutely oustanding stage presence, they put on a VERY fun show.[/quote]

You can type in all caps, good for you. I have listened to the lyrics and I still don't understand constant need for asserting that they are "Teh fucking ghey".
