I know it say it all the time -- and even the Sun City Girls agree with me on this -- but the most underrated band ever is probably Thinking Fellers.. you're talking about a band that is just consistantly amazing and completely competent and forward-thinking as musicians who got NO press whatsoever (I mean, I HAVE seen Polvo mentioned in small capacity in music magazines and press, even Ryan Adams talked about them in some interview he did for Spin; I've never seen any mention of Thinking Fellers anywhere outside of the internet). It's hard to find a band without a single bad song. Their approach to structure, craft, melody, riffs, etc. was completely off-the-wall and inventive, yet oddly accessible. Very rarely did they degenerate into tunelessness, even in their most of out of tune moments. It seems like they stuck all that filler in their albums just so people didn't take them too seriously. But in all seriousness, probably will always be the most underrated band ever. I've seen bands listed so far on this thread that have been listed on the Billboard Top 200.. on the other hand, I kinda doubt that all the Thinking Fellers record sales combined would be equal even 200,000. Sad.
