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.
I remember a group called Head East.

also: Cheap Trick
I loved Song of Job too. That was a great album.
“JJ Cale”
The first name I thought of.
Spinal Tap. They had amps that went up to 11. Far out, man.
The Gorillaz of the 60’s, lol. Very cutting edge.
The Archies - “Jingle Jangle” (Original 1969 video)
Government Mule. Their covers are better than most of the originals:
Here, with the Soul Rebels to kick the ass of Who:

The correct answer is:
The Zombies
Three big hits they’re known for but pretty much everything they did was tuneful and well performed. Love Colin Blunstone’s vocals.
Honorable mention: Crowded House
Yep.
My second was Elvin Bishop.
Great psychedelic band!
The United States of America - “The American Metaphysical Circus”
Was there anyone better than Steve Marriott with The Small Faces/Humble Pie?

Bobby Steele was kicked out of the Misfits in 1980 and went on to form his own horror punk band. While never achieving Misfits-like sales, The Undead and Bobby continue to write new songs and rock like no other punk band, young or old.
Here is The Undead at Tompkins Square Park in NYC...Bobby basically invented the downstroke.
