Serj would not sniff top 20 underrated. The guy is not even in the discussion of top 100 vocalists.

Underrated mentions, in no order (and not limited to five)...

Lux Interior of the Cramps (Perhaps also my top #1 overall as well)
Henry Rollins of the Rollins Band
Russell Mael of Sparks
GG Allin
Fee Waybill of the Tubes
Iggy Pop of the Stooges
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

ETA: Toss Wendy O Williams (Plasmatics) into that mix.
...and David Gahan of Depeche Mode.

James Hetfield gets credit for being the voice and songwriter of Metallica but I've always thought he was underrated as an actual frontman

I’ll add someone who hasn’t been mentioned in the underrated category… Ronnie Van Zant. He didn’t move around much on stage, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have stage presence. The man stood on the stage and sang his songs from the heart, the ultimate storyteller.
