Most Underrated Artists...

[layinback]

i always thought roger waters got a lot more accolades and credit than he deserved..i mean..



..please...i remember people making a big deal out of that album and that song, and i thought it sucked donkey dick

dam digi............

if he wasn't hideous and media friendly and not such an impossibly aragant
asshole, he would've been a mega super star.

based on his merits alone, he is in the league with dylan , hendrix
he is one of the most gifted lyricist ever and his creative genius is
unparalleled.

even if he were handsome and nice, his music is cynical and dark.
he is more talented than mc cartney but no where near as
marketable. btw, we saw paul in atlanta and he was incredible.
going to see roger in november.

i just remember being really pissed that he couldn't seem to get along with david gilmour and fucking up all the pink floyd fun and then that goddamn pro's and con's of hitch-hiking playing relentlessly on wdve in pittsburgh when i was like a sophomore in college and i just thought the song friggin SUCKED!

different strokes for different folks, i suppose

wanna talk "underrated"...how about neal schon?? the guy is an unbelievable guitar player and musician...was hired to play guitar by carlos santana at age 15...but spent most of his career quietly toiling away, playing cheesy pop music with journey.

or steve stevens?? another incredibly gifted guitarist and musician who spent most of his career playing behind billy idol.

agreed.


btw i think the animals were highly underrated. ( i don't think underrated = obscure ) when you listen to their stuff contextually, they were 10 yrs
ahead of their time and extremely talented. i believe they were consumed
during beatlmania.

It's a trick question!

How could they be the *most* underrated and still be given props even on a musclehead board? Wouldn't that alone make them a tiny bit rated?

a mediocre band that isn't given any props is still less underrated than an amazing band that is given only a little bit of props. so being a tiny bit rated doesn't necessarily preclude a band from being the most underrated

haha seriously though, if we are omitting multi-platinum selling artists who have won grammys like everlast...

crystal castles (not really anymore), aeroplane, the pack, nothingface, nightmare of you, rogue wave, XV, 80kidz

Winning a music award and selling platinum albums are irrelevant when it comes to talent and the quality of music produced...

Milli Vanilli...Spice Girls...BackDoor Boys...etc...

I'm asking about artists that aren't given proper kudos by the drunk ass sorority chick at a party and have "matured" over decades.

when a reporter asked Bob Dylan how he dealt with negative criticism concerning
his music, he said, " The music industry is geared to sell records to 14 year old
girls. I don't really care what the critics say."

when i was a kid, i would ask a potential girlfriend what she thought of Elvis and
Dylan. if she had anything negative to say about either of them, it was over before it got started.

I listen to Bob...

I put my swords in the ground a decade ago...


Some people don't understand a choice versus public relations...
