Underrated 80s bands?

These are the most underrated bands of the 80s to me.

1. The Teardrop explodes

2. Pulp

3. Faith no more

4. The Jam

5. Talking Heads- Ok I don't know if they were underrated or how popular they were.

6. The Call

the 80's werent that great, imo.

Faith No More aren't underrated...........at all O_o As for me: Sodom Kreator Over Kill ........basicly every 80s Thrash band that isn't one of the big 4:P Darth-Caedus

Exodus and Testament should have been in the Big Four...and "M16" by Sodom rocks.

I cant think of any, all the 80's bands I like get a lot of recognition.

I can only think of one at the moment: Possessed.

Testament should be up there too?

"the 80's werent that great, imo."

In the words of Jay and Silent Bob, DON'T hate on teh time (music-wise).

Echo and the Bunnymen, Madness, The The... those are what spring to mind for me.

Mr BUNGLE !!!!!!!!!

Bathory, and as some of the users have said, every Thrash band that wasn't part of the big four. Especially the good ones.

Queensryche! Hail to the fathers of prog-metal!

Coil...one of the best experimental-industrial bands ever.

Alchemist
Jag Panzer
Kings X
Cannibal Corpse (get way too much hate)

Hmm, can't think of any more.

The Gun Club

Galaxie 500

Scratch Acid

Can't say the same for you, unfortunately. Dream Theater is a little too...mainstream for my tastes.

He already did, my friend...

Well the Thrash Union anyways.

I'm one of the few who thinks Dio is also fairly underrated (mostly because he's been forgotten by the new generation of metalheads).

No, couldn't have been. Because it went Elf-Rainbow-Black Sabbath-Dio, and he started Sabbath in the late '70s. I guess Rainbow was early to late '70s - WAY ahead of its time.

Ratt and Mercyful Fate Both are my only favorite bands of their respective genres :lol:Toriko42

To tell you the truth, I can't stand either of them. Ratt just isn't unique. I literally can't tell their songs apart from Dokken, and I own most of their albums.

Another music thread where I agree with Darth-Caedus.

D666 is not an 80's band, they formed in 94 after KK left Bestial Warlust. Sarcof-ago (damn censor) however I agree with.

:lol:

I was actually thinking of saying the same thing :)

Dio's band made so many amazing songs...

Armored Saint (though their opus magnum was actually released in 91) thepwninator

Dio: Has anybody actually listened to any Dio songs other than Holy Diver? Not really. And that's a shame, because they did make other good songs.

And Morbid Saint!
