Underrated bands from the late 80\'s/early 90\'s
I have been thinking about this for sometime and my answer is that the Smashing Pumpkins are totally underrated. They released several major records, all to critical acclaim although Adore was not well recieved by the public. If I recall correctly, they sold ~10 million records and they flat out [censored] rock.
The pumpkins can cover the entire panorama of music, from gutteral guitar's to almost dreamy/lullaby love songs. You could probably put Tool in there as well but Tool has such a massive and extremely loyal fanbase that you could probably call them overrated to an extent. Anyway, what other bands that flat out kick ass are under the shadow of Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and Nirvana from the late 80's/early 90's?

Smashing Pumpkins are awesome, and nowhere close to underrated.
plus they were in an awesome Simpsons episode Corgan: Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins. Homer: Homer Simpson, smiling politely. Homer: I'll miss you, Pumpkins, but I just can't share your bleak world view. I've got too much to live for. Corgan: We envy you, Homer. All we have is our music, our legions of fans, our million of dollars and our youth. [pause] Woo-Hoo! Iha: Let's all go out and buy fur coats!

Also, to the OP, I typically support the general idea behind this thread (that the Pumpkins were [censored] awesome and even though they were very very highly rated, were even better than the hype), but it's hard to pull this off.

Yes, the smashing pumpkins in hind sight were a poor choice for for a "most underrated" band, however the pumpkins get no respect from anybody I know or the general media today. If you watch any rock show or countdown list they are never mentioned in the top bands of the time or mentioned as any form of rock gods throughout the recent history of music.
I'm drunk while typiing htis so please forgive any weird wordings/spelling errors.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd say a lot of people havent heard Rusty Cage. Badmotorfinger is a tad before the time of a lot of our posters, and it was lost in the success of nevermind and ten. The album doenst really get talked about like Superunknown, which a lot more have heard.
