I'm feeling like hearing some interesting music that I've never heard before, so I thought I'd start a thread on FReeper's favorite underrated bands. Post several good examples of their music and why you feel they're underrated. Should be fun.
Here you go:
Think I'll order a copy myself tomorrow. Glad I could turn you on to it.
Texas metal before Pantera.
Oh, wow, almost perfect, except how about Artistry in Rhythm for Stan?
Always loved side one of XTC’s Skylarking. Dukes of Stratosphear was an impressive foray into 60s psych-pop.
Your Time is Gonna Come by Dread Zeppelin, I think, is better than the original. The whole album Un-Led-Ed is great.
Becoming Insane is a great Infected Mushroom song. So is Heavyweight. I recommend just about everything they do.
Very good choice.
“Bad Finger”
Such potential. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for that band.
For sheer raging tempo and sonic melody it would have to be Muskrat Love by Captain and Tenille.
I’ve seen them three times. Not quite the same without Lowell George. Last time I saw them the lead singer was the guy from Pure Prairie League, can’t remember his name.
I like ‘Spanish Moon’
I love Iron Horse.
I was a fairly naive and straight-laced kid who loved a lot of music that my friends didn’t. No idea where that came from. Them, if it wasn’t getting airplay and “popular” it wasn’t worth listening to. Me, I didn’t really care about anyone else’s opinion unless those opinions were actually based on something, like maybe musical background or knowledge.
Thanks, I’ve saved it. I do my best musical pondering in the middle of the night during those times when I can’t sleep and there are no distractions. That’s when my head seems clearest and my “ear” is best.
Stan Kenton - “Artistry In Rhythm” (vintage color video, London, February 6, 1972)
For you Yaelle:
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you’ve decided to show me the same
No sweeping exit or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away
I know I’ve dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don’t have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
Let’s do some living after we die
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses we’ll ride them some day
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses we’ll ride them some day
Songwriters: Keith Richards / Mick Jagger

Captain & Tenille - “Muskrat Love” (vintage live recording with a dedication to Henry Kissinger)
Thanks - going to play it now.
