What's your favourite under-rated band (or song)?

Muse, they've gotten a bigger following lately, but I really think their earlier stuff is better. And I'm sick of all the kids who've only ever heard Supermassive Black Hole and Knights of Cydonia. They have better songs. My favorite is Time is Running Out.

The Small Print (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsDhUAw8qbY) is also awesome.

I dont think they are under rated at all. Knights of Cydonia is better then Time is Running Out.

Yeah, except it bothers me that lots of people only know Knights of Cydonia (because it's on GH3) or Supermassive Black Hole (which is on Twilight soundtrack. :cry: that movie is awful and Muse should not be associated with it)

 

 

 

And they're much less popular in the US than in Europe, I think. I mean there's a following, but you can't find a lot of their music unless you go online. Best Buy only carries 3 of their albums (I think they have 7 if you count the DVD/CD sets)

Considering my mom knows who muse is and enjoys it makes me think they are anything but underrated or unknown. :)

 

 

 

Yeah, I too feel that they are under-rated. But as you said people know them, but I feel they aren't getting the reception they deserve.

Brand New (Pop-Punk, but don't be off-put by the genre).

 

 

 

haha i wouldnt really call brand new underrated or unknown, just not main stream. they just set up a small east coast tour and each of the venues sold out in less than a minute.

Look its rob!

Yeah, but barely anyone on this site listens to them, and I figurd that a lot of people would like them.

I have a lot. Not my absolute favorites, but they all are very good and need to be heard by more people here.

 

 

 

 

 

(Not quite sure, sort of punk meets Bruce Springsteen in a good way)

 

 

 

(Metalcore)

 

 

 

All of these bands are really good and worth listening to.

 

 

 

I like the sound of gaslight, just rock for that song.

 

 

 

Unearth is not underrated, Zombie autopilot.

Not the sort of genre alot of people want to live for, but they're my favourite band nevertheless. I've been following for about 3 - 4 years and they're still playing tiny venues, not recognised at all.

 

 

 

The mixture of heavy guitar genius and melancholy in vocals make them just sound astonishing every time i listen...

Their youtube name is 'brigadetherockband' if you wanna listen to a few more.

 

 

 

Tell me what you think :)

I wonder if there's anybody on tip.it that knows the difference between underheard and underrated.

Can I name indie bands in this thread?

 

 

 

If so-- Quasi, Elliot Smith, Pavement, and a lot of other bands would fit. I'm not mentioning bands like Modest Mouse, Spoon, Neutral Milk Hotel, and The Decemberists because they already receive media attention.

You have the wrong thread, this is for under-rated bands.

 

I think he was going for sarcasm.

Not sarcasm, I have heard comments like Emo, and that they only had one good Album/Song...

 

 

 

They are The Modern Misfits

Trouble is, there is very little stuff that I would classify as underheard.

 

 

 

That's something else. :)

Fort Minor is probably the most underrated band/artist of the 21st Century.

 

The singles Mike Shinoda released should have peaked on charts, found it incredibly hard to believe that they didn't.

 

The stuff he writes about is far more meaningful than 99% of mainstream Hip Hop & Rap; meaning his tracks aren't based off girls, fast cars, money or drugs.

 

Funny thing is, whenever I refer a friend to FM, they get hooked straight away & before you know it they've got all the songs. Damn, this world works in funny ways.

Only fear God,

Know the weapons of the weak,

The weakness of the hard.
