Boston- they're shit, therefore anything is a bonus.
right now the band are huddled around a computer, going through forums and looking for people who remember them, starting threads about themselves and having a gay old time doing it.
Oh and Mako Victim, I'm not sure with AFI, sure they dont get acclaim and recognition from the general music scene, but they're held pretty high still. Im not sure with them

Pick 3 (in any order). But, come up with at least one.I'm going with The Who, The Beach Boys, and Fleetwood Mac.
...probably had a 4th and 5th, but that would be going against my own thread! 😱
The Beach Boys? Underrated? Are you mentally derranged, or are you just some idiotic fourteen year old who found All Summer Long in his dad's music collection and since then considered it "underrated" for the sole reason that his friends had never heard of it.
Well, in my experience Soungarden do usually not get as much recognition as they deserve.

Sadly, I'm older (compared to most KMCers here). It is perhaps that today's generation has never even heard of the Beach Boys? But yes, I am occaionally mentally deranged. 😛 😉
Counting Crows - They have a few popular songs but the majoraty of their songs aren't widely known and IMO they're one of the best bands in their area of music.
Soulfly - A great band that doesn't get mentioned often enough.
gah, hard to choos only one more band lol
Faith No More / Mike Patton - He covers such a wide wide and obscure variaty of music, his talent one of a kind, he defenatly deserves more recagnision.
can is a very good choice, they were extremely experimental yet remained high quality.
REM strangely doesn't get the word of mouth they ought to, at least in my circles.
the bicycles are brand new, but they made a brilliant brilliant pop album in '06 that absolutely EVERYBODY failed to cover.
the zombies, the monks, tom waits, brian eno, talking heads, suicide...there's alot of underrated/underappreciated bands.
Bob Marley, I'd argfue, is underrated. Kids like his sound, but never take the time to listen to the lyrics. They just smoke pot to it and call it a day. He, Lee Scratch Perry, and Jimmy Cliff..all underrated.
But my pick would have to go to the Deftones. I've never been disappointed by an album, they've been around almost 2 decades, and they're still very much a diamond in the rough.
