What are some underrated bands that never made national notoriety?

I nominate Railroad Earth. While yes, they are well known in their "segment" (jam band fans), most people across the board don't know who they are.

Listen to a couple of clips below when free.
Do you agree?
Disagree?
Who would you nominate?

Railroad Earth - Mighty River
Railroad Earth - Storms

Railroad Earth is one of my favorite bands going but I would agree with you.

The Wood Brothers...very underrated. They're nothing short of incredible but don't get much hype, which is fine.

Not a band, but it has always baffled me that Iris Dement isn't more popular. I know she's not really making new music, but she wasn't that popular when she was making music.

Best prog band out there right now. Insane to me how they haven’t exploded after the last 2 albums, and the bonus of getting to be the house band for Portnoy’s DT tour.

The Replacments. Simply one of the best rock bands ever.

I'm a big fan of The Gaslight Anthem. They sort of got publicity, but never to the degree they should have.

The '59 Sound is an incredibly likeable album. My uncle, who is in his 60's randomly stumbled across it and loved it. I'm in my 30's and loved it.

Love RRE. I've seen them a few times at music festivals - just a great time and they are a great sound. They'd be one of my top 5 music groups that I'd take if stranded on an island.
