Post your favorite underrated band

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'll kick it off with a band from the late 80's - early 90's that would be easy to dismiss as that sort of jangly Brit-pop that was so popular at the time, but then you get into the lyrics, so... biting, almost apocalyptic. And the music itself, very tight with a lot of surprises for the close listener.

World Party.

Led Zeppelin doesn’t exactly qualify as underrated, lol, they’re seared into the memories of several generations.

I’ve always liked the Little River Band. “Reminiscing” never gets old, IMHO.

Question: Underrated by whom?

I think Social Distortion is underrated by many “regular” rock and roll fans because they were labeled a “punk band”. When I listen to them what I hear is well-played, straight-up, rock-n-roll.
