The Plasmatics came through in the 80s but they are the greatest band of all time.

Not a "band" but damn good 80's shred.

Even though they had some mainstream hits... I'd say Crowded House is very underrated in regards to their total body of work...

I like both, but I prefer the Neil Finn songwriting (later SE) to that of his brother... CH is just stellar pop craftsmanship..

Though I still say that I Got You... MAY have my favorite chorus of all time...

I must not have heard enough of them. Don't Dream It's Over makes me want to kill puppies. Something So Strong just seemed like pop-crap.

Saw them at Chelsea's last March and they were terrific and played a lot of stuff from "Whisper Tames the Lion" -- most notably Powerhouse.

They were and still are legends in my book.
