Your underrated bands/artists?

It's tough because there's also a lot of really successful bands that still make good music, but are past their "Hipness" expiration date, so it becomes cool to hate on them, despite the fact they're still really good, just "different" from how they were when it was "cool" to like them. It's like you're only "allowed" to like a band for about three years or two albums, whichever comes first, after that "They Suck".

So I'd argue that even bands that have reached a certain level of acclaim can be underrated, simply because everything they do past a certain point is automatically dismissed by most people. "Are they still around? GOD, they should just hang it up. The fact that I personally haven't heard of them since (Name Of Their Biggest Record) means they really must have gone to sh*t."
