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.
