Criminally Underated Bands Thread

[Steve the Tea]

I saw the eclectic Henry Cow at the Temple of Peace in Cardiff in the 1970's.

The ‘Mats are definitely one of those sort of doomed, “shoulda been a contender ‘ma” type bands. Loved their stuff from the beginning till ‘pleased to meet you’.

Bob Mould definitely worth seeing live. Husker Du are/were one of my favourite bands ever, although they’re not recognisable in a mainstream sense they definitely had a big influence (in certain circles) so I never quite think of them as being underrated.

Mentioned Red on Green and I did have a bit of a re-listen to those Paisley Underground bands recently. Rain Parade in particular I liked a bit.

As you mentioned Big Black I thought I’d post Cardiff’s own answer (Slowjam): https://youtu.be/QzA19BnsdGE

Brilliant CF own .

How about this quote :

Skindred's Benji Webb: "punk rock was born in Newport"

He is a top fella

Good shout. Although not necessarily underrated, just not particularly successful. Although, Lee Mavers probably bears some responsibility for that.

There she goes is an incredible few minutes of music

Clearly hugely influenced by the beatles

But who wasn't

Never tire of that song
