    I think there are loads of very good bands out their who really don't get the coverage they need out their! Many up and coming bands with loads of talent are being submerged by these teenybopping bands, westsquad this and blazing life that, i want to know like many others, what bands out there deserve our ears!!!

    Dispatch. Fast becoming one of my favourite bands. Been 'round for years with some success but nowhere near as much as they deserve imo.

    Biohazard have inspired gazzilllions of Uber-rich rappin rockers from Cypress Hill to Slipnot to the Prodigy.

    They make a few bob but christ look at the money those others make.

    I know I post this anytime any simmilar topic is going but whipping boy are in my opinion the most underrated band ever. Track down a copy of heartworm and you wont be dissapointed

    Cornershop should be doing way better than they are. Their last album is bleedin great.

    The Frames are predictable, typical, Irish singer songwiter muck. Tiny imaginations, tiny capabilities.

    Since when have they been underrated?

    The Velvet Underground for years were probably the most underrated band ever, even though they'd inspired nearly every band going. But I don't think you're asking about best underrated bands of all time :)

    Biohazard were big in 93-95. I loved my Biohazard TShirt. I got a biohazard belt buckle before Christmas. I love it

    the divine comedy, "fin de siecle" was their only major album, and a band that good deserve a lot more. i reccommend "a secret history" (their best of album) to everyone

    Mansun are the most underrated band of all time. They just make great concept albums and even their b-sides are quality. Plust they are amazing live!

    It has to be the Frames, cant be really anyone else.

    Well they probably pick up a good few meteor awards,

    P.S Biohazard were well famous about 5years ago, there just gone old.

    I'm not sure if they're still around, but Beautiful Creatures are v. good. They never got much airplay but I think you can still find their album in HMV.
