Under-rated bands...

[act smiley]

What? Everyone loves Portishead and rightly so!

Annnyway. Sonic Boom Six & Adequate Seven.

Boy Sets Fire are criminally underrated, IMO.

In fact, I'm the only person I know who's heard of them (other than those I've raved about them to).

Been kicking myself ever since I found they played Nottingham around a year ago...then split up shortly afterwards. Will never get to see them live now.

Just thought of another... not a band but an individual.

Johnny Clegg

The guy is considered a legend in his adopted South Africa and is massively popular in France where he was knighted in '91, yet is virtually unheard of in his native UK. Sad really.

The Prodigy, they're that good that they can be big and still be under-rated. UB40 and Rory Gallagher as-well.

 

[Johno please?]

It's because Mark Daghorn is a complete ****. He screwed em something bad.

Who?

I heard they had some management issues? You sound like you know more about it though?

UB40

Top quality band, and if you think about it, one of the most successful in the UK.

 

[Hxc]

Clutch
Joshua Radin

 

[TheRedZealot]

Top quality band, and if you think about it, one of the most successful in the UK.

So how can they be under-rated?

Last post was 13 months ago though!

Only just over 150 replies since July 2006 - think this is not the first time it's been resurected with a necro-bump

Sorry

I'm not sure it's the correct word, but most of my friends absolutely hate them, and resent me for liking them.
