those have all sold guzillions of records. Just my :2 cents:, but the Foo Fighters suck ass. Sugar Ray is mediocre as well.

And "yes" Chef, I agree with you on Bryan Adams.

That's true, they have sold records. But, if we were going strictly by record sales, then everybody would be listing bands that nobody else has ever even heard of before.

 

[StarMan2112]

As you can tell by my name... RUSH is underrated...

So is Supertramp, ELO, and Mother Mother!

 

[calpoon]

what do you mean by underrated? To me that implies a band that has achieved moderate commercial success, but in your opinion, deserves more recognition.

as opposed to a shitty band that no one has ever heard of, which seems to be what people are posting on here.

 

[Spleen]

I'll go with DukeLaCrosse's cousin's band.

 

[Becks...poamr]

AnAkA :banger:

 

[calpoon]

Korn

 

[zell]

Deftones
Skatenigs
Brutal Juice
Orange 9MM

 

[RogueWolf]

Prefab Sprout

 

[senob44]

Deftones

:thumbsup:

also underrated IMO:
Social Distortion
Garbage

They've had success, but they fall in line with the definition calpoon was mentioning.

Underrated "Please Hate my Musical Taste" Picks:
Jack Off Jill
Insane Clown Posse
Hole
Murderdolls

I understand why these bands never do or did as well as I would hope. I can see how some people wouldn't like them.
