Squeeze and Smithereens were great calls.

Archers of Loaf.

INXS without a doubt. Hutchence was a boss. Kick is literally a perfect album. Great musicians too. The Wembley show from 91 is one of my favorite concerts to watch.

I would not have guessed anyone here even knew this band much less how underrated they were. Good call.

I will add Stabbing Westward

90's- Type O Negative

Was listening to The Connells Fun & Games the other day.

I think Chapel Hill bands are underrated.


I was looking at the cover of Life's Rich Pageant and for the first time ever, I noticed two buffaloes on there. I've literally looked at that album cover a 1,000 times and always saw Bill Berry on there but never the two buffalo. Just thought it was a wash of color.


BTW, I cannot turn on the 80's station or New wave without hearing Howard Jones.

I think many of us on here could list about 100 artists that are underrated from the 80-90's.

Public Image, Ltd
XTC
Sisters of Mercy
Killing Joke
Cabaret Voltaire

so many.

I know them on a personal basis.
