Crowbar and Eyehategod didn't really click for me but...Corrosion of Conformity is amazing. Damn you, really. If I get obsessed with them it's gonna be entirely your fault ;_;
As for the rest, I'll check them out when my net will stop hating me 🤢 .
Is Down is a separate band or does it refer to System of a Down? ...feels dumb

Er, yeah another underrated band: Arch Enemy. MOAR ANGELA PLZ~<3 (you can NEVER have enough growling frontwomen). In this moment has another screamo female vocalist, but her voice seems a bit too edited :-/
A Perfect Circle is pretty nice too, although a bit more well-known than most bands listed here 🙂

Down is a separate band. Also check out The Sword. It has like power metal/heavy metal vocals with a kind of thrash/gothic/sludge/groove feel to the riffs.

I'm eh on arch enemy. I think it's a little... gimmicky.

How is Green Day underrated? There are people who don't like them like any other band but they are highly praised by their fans.

Green Day is one of the most popular bands on the face of the planet. They get more credit than they deserve. Also underrated just means that something deserves more credit than it gets. Saying that Green Day is underrated is like saying that Naruto is underrated.

Muse is definitely underrated though.

@Sakon: first off please learn proper punctuation (your posts are hard to read) and then learn what underrated and overrated means.

GD underrated=only when all their fangirls move to Mars or fall in a black hole.
Half of the world knows of Green Day and My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park and Fall Out Boy and Panic at the disco and Evanescence and stuff like that, so that's the first criteria that takes them out from being "underrated".
We'll make abstraction of quality and only focus on the fanbase.
You've all seen the fangirls...(oh god the fangirls...shudders) and how much they worship the ground those bands walk on...when obviously even for the best band ever out there that would be waay too much. So no matter what, even good but very popular bands will still be overrated, no matter what. Remeber that sellout is a completely different term *cough

Oh yeah right we're talking about underrated bands..>.<...soo...
@Ahoaho: Arch Enemy is still nothing compared to KISS or Dimmu Borgir, or Lordi for that matter. Yeah their lyrics and titles are a bit gimmicky but seeing as I can't understand a word of what they're singing, it doesn't matter to me 🙂
Speaking of gimmicks, I can't wait for this year's Eurovision to see if they'll fork out another Lordi or another drag queen in shiny aluminium foil (last year's Ukraine--HILARIOUS!)...but I'm disgressing again >.<

Atmosphere
K'naan
Natty
Mystery Jets
Sam Cooke (old but good)
Hot Chip
Blu (Under the heavens was the best hiphop album of '07 in my opinion)
Sons & Daughters
Corey Smith
Iron & Wine
A Silver Mt. Zion
J*Davey

That was what first came to minc but if I thought about it there would be more.

Sam Cooke (old but good)

Good times are to be had by google image searching him.

@heaven- I meant Arch Enemy is gimmicky in the sense that they have a female vocalist that growls. She sounds like a dude, but is a chick. Not that that is bad, but it seems like a gimmick, much like KISS is a walking gimmick(and terribly overrated)

I never really gave Dimmu Borgir a proper listen, but I personally cannot stand black metal. And all black metal bands, save Cradle of Filth and maybe Children of Bodom are underrated. All the other ones are a kvlt as can be.

Did you listen to Down and the Sword yet? Have you heard Testament? or Kreator? Underrated and pretty good.

Yeah it seems like little Sam here jumped through time and posed in FHM..Oh and he's an idol too 😃 . I think I'm starting to like this guy...soo...what does...he...er...sing?

Oh that kind of gimmicky. True true, but I find it more of a pretty interesting deviation from the normal band than a gimmick.

I'm currently checking out the sword (Freya is pretty nice 🙂 ) and I'll have to listen some more before I can form a decent opinion.
Heard some Testament before I think but I'll have to check them out again.
Funny how I felt from the first seconds that the sword wasn't North European metal. American south metal has a distinct feel and I have to admit it's pretty good...I don't know why I've never got into it until now 🙂

Dimmu Borgir is pretty interesting, but nothing to write home about. I can't listen to them because I get these strange urges to burst off laughing when I hear them...they take themselves so seriously it's soo funny~ 🤣

English isn't his first language as I've discerned so don't be so hard on the fella.

@sakon: overrated means that they're played so much or that they're so "popular" that they become trite and cliched (it doesn't necessarily mean they're bad) underrated means that they're good but no one really knows that.

I don't think that muse is THAT overrated, seeing as many non-musicians don't know them
