You know....when 800 people say FNM are under rated..I'm not really sure they are. As far as mainstream acceptence..sure...but so are most non pop artists who are of any merit. I have loved the band since I bought The Real Thing 15 years ago....but I think among people wirth wider musical interest they are appciated just fine. One band no one talks about anymore and really should is Fishbone..especially the 88- 94 era... What about Mr. Bungle?

Hate to sound like a philistine, but their name is?... You dirty, rotten philistine.... Is that their name or are you emphasising how much I suck?

I am a fan of Heavy Metal, so I am of the opinion that the entire genre is underrated, but that is neither here nor there. I believe that within the genre of metal, I believe Celtic Frost is the most underrated.
Celtic Frost should be an iconic band and is in fact one of the Godfathers of thrash metal. However, there are a lot of fans out there that have no idea who Celtic Frost is.

Also, this might sound wierd because they're popular, but The Who. People think 60s rock and it's hippies, Greatfull Dead (BLECCHH!), Hendrix (awesome), Beatles, Stones.... but really, aside from Hendrix, I'd take The Who over any of those bands. Hell, even the Doors get more attention just because of their drunk lead singer. I think the reason the Doors are still so popular is because of the movie more than anything else. Don't get me wrong, they were a famous band and had a big hit with "Light My Fire", but if Oliver Stone had made a movie about Love or the 13th Floor Elevators I doubt they'd be selling Doors T-shirts at Hot Topic.

I definately have to agree with Coheed and Cambria. They are phenomenal musicians and artists. They don't get the mainstream appreciation they deserve.
I'll also say Jimmy Eat World. They always have a couple hits from each cd they release yet they never seem to have a hardcore fanbase. I'm not a huge fan of them. I like them but they seem to be underrated.
