Styx. Also Randy Newman, who is not exactly underappreciated, but some people at a party last weekend looked at me like I ate a baby kitten when I told them that Randy Newman was a phenomenal songwriter.

how in the world would any platnium selling artist be "underappreciated"?

10/19/2006 12:43:01 PM

how in the world would New Edition be "underappreciated"? everyone acknowledge's that "Candy Girl" is a great song and then they move on. i'd say that's an appropriate level of appreciation.

Pavement is one of the most widely recognized and appreciated bands in indie rock.

Trans Am FTW!!!!

10/19/2006 2:01:23 PM

My Bloody Valentine/ Kevin Shields

10/19/2006 2:05:18 PM

trans am is really hit or miss for me.

10/19/2006 2:05:50 PM

^^ I don't think MBV is under appreciated by anybody who is familiar with their music. Loveless topped Pitchfork's list of the best albums of the 1990's, too. Under recognized, maybe. I think most of my peeps are down with them, though.

^ Trans Am is consistently mediocre for me.

10/19/2006 2:11:34 PM

Yeah I was not thinking underappreciated, more underrecognized.

10/19/2006 2:16:20 PM

i think trans am may have hit a point where all their music turned to crap. i just have random songs from a number of their albums and a handful of them are pretty good.

10/19/2006 2:16:43 PM

trans am can be rather hit or miss, you are correct


but, for my money, it doesnt get much better than



with a minor boner for

Futureworld.

10/19/2006 11:59:18 PM

i agree with Three Times One Minus One

a lot of this other stuff really isn't underappreciated.

10/20/2006 12:02:44 AM

I don't know if they count because they kinda did it to themselves... But Brian Jonestown Massacre....

agreed about dmb. also, bisco doesn't get nearly enough props. they are changing the face of music as we e-speak.

10/20/2006 1:44:13 AM

I think you typed "bisco" when you meant to type "The Kleptones".

Are we talking about underrecognized/underappreciated by the mainstream, or underground? Because there are a shit-ton of bands that get next to zero radio play, however, their highly respected in the underground scene.
