First off Dharmatma hats off to you for recognizing Vito and White Lion...one of the greatest bands ever..Pride, Big Game and their best Mane Attraction all three great and presently underrated albums..even Mike tramp's(vocalist) solo albums are good now onto my list Iced Earth...the most underrated mainstream band and the most widely accepted underground band Nevermore Children of Bodom (are they still underrated) Lost Horizon Lillian Axe (please someone tell me you've heard em...the best band to come out in the late eighties) -the wabbit
SPINAL TAP is the most underrated band ever cos everyone thinks of them just as a joke. Each one of them is an awesome musician. Christopher Guest is an absolute genius. Just watch what they play in the movies "This Is Spinal Tap" and "A Mighty Wind". They are a hard rock band in Spinal Tap and a classic folk band in a mighty wind. They even released two albums as Spinal Tap featuring Satriani among other artists on the album. Simply awesome.
*bump* How come no one knows anything about Jesu Isis Pelican Or Sunn O))) ???? I know one person (wizard) who knows two of these.... mwa...
Metal God band Black sabbath is under rated in India i think.Not many people have listened them. Ozzy is not also very famous here in India. Racer X Grateful Dead Pearl Jam people dont listen them here Alice Cooper not a band but not famous here Alice in Chains There some few more who are famous outside but not here in India.
