I'd say Modest Mouse, Sigur Ros, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Burial. They don't get nearly enough respect.

They all have a certain dedicated fan base, though. I wouldn't like Sigur Rós or NMH to be all over the radio.

I don't know about Tokio Hotel's music, but I have seen the cover to their latest album and I hate them already.

Talk about overrated. They were near the top of Fuse's rock countdownthe other day. I was like what is this mess? The chorus of the song...

"Ready, set, go it's time to run; the sky is changing; we are one..."

Pretty bad.

lol I've never really listened to their music but by reading those lyrics and by picturing that guy in my mind singing it I can assure you I will never listen to them.

I have to tell you it's like two different bands, so you might not like it. Their first two albums were more pop-punk, while this sounds more rock/indie. But the lyrics definitely are deeper and more profound. I haven't heard of a new CD until now :shock:

I've listened to the 30 seconds bits on itunes, they still sound great. Yah i have to agree even though i haven't listened to the whole songs, they do seem more deep; which makes me even more excited(i have to get to store and get it soon). Yah they don't have a definate release date, but their starting to make new material. They even made their own record label.

Maybe he means that they're SO awesome, that even all the praise and accolades they have already received, still doesn't do them justice.

I'd like to add that The Cure is the most overrated band of all time. :P Ok, ok, I kid, I kid...

At first I didn't like the CD because it wasn't rock enough; but, when you truly listen to the lyrics, they grow on you. JC and Milestone definitley build up to a climax at the end.

Anecdotal evidence doesn't cut it. Rush is popular. Has been for decades which doesn't qualify them as underrated.

You may want to read this. It seems to clearly show that Rush is not underrated. They are just behind The Beatles, Stones, etc for number of gold/platinum albums sold. They are in the Candadian Music Hall of Fame, the band has won several awards and the individual members have won awards.

And no...when you have a specific criteria...it isn't opinion.

I'd say Sevendust is underrated though. Especially their older albums;they're quite impressive, at least technically. The band plays really well together, and Lajon has a rich voice. Dude can really sing.

A lot of other bands I feel are underrated are a bunch that you've probably never heard of, so I won't bother listing them.
