"Pop will eat itself
From grebo to dance "
What they did was so groundbreaking and ahead of it's time, This is The Day... is an absolutely magnificent album. Always saddens me why they don't get the credit that they deserve |

Because they were from the Midlands, not London.
Same with Slade- outsold Elvis and everyone else for a while (and i think Roy Wood deserves and equal mention), some really awesome songs- yet Glam rock is often T-rex, Bowie and The Sweet |

Yes they were a great band too but lets not mention Vile Evils!
Their reformation gigs were brilliant, shame it will never happen again |

I was at those and the Stourbridge Rock cafe gig a few years later that Clint failed to show at, still a great night |

If we're doing The Poppies and Neds- then we can't leave out The Stuffies.
Mr Hunt is possibly one of the best and most underrated song writers of the last 32ish goes around the sun |

Neds are my nostalgia band, still happily put Are you normal on and listen to the whole album whilst dreaming of my bmx and a bottle of special red.
Underrated bands... The verlaines

Growing up in the area it was compulsory to like them. I remember a coach trip to Matlock with Wonder Stuff playing the whole way. The teachers must have been on the whiskey early on. |

"Hanna Peel, the albums called Mary Casio: Journey to Cassiopeia.
It's a concept album,a mix of neo classical, electronica and brassbands. And it's ace.
"

"I think the cure are very underated. Lots of hits, a huge back catalogue, but never heard of.
"
Any of the 'Goth' era bands are unfairly viewed as miserable eyeline wearers in black. Siouxsie is probably one of the most uderrated females in music- been there, done that, lead from the front but too busy to make a fuss about it. Sister of Mercy- playing round with guitars and electronic beats while others were still scratching their arse thinking about it- wrote some epic tunes (Floodlands is often on loud for a late night drive home), The Mission also wrote some spanking tunes- Tower of Strength is huge! while the rest of their back catalogue ranges from some quite humours lyrics to some great covers. The Cult- although more rock than Goth, they kind of sat across both at the right time and can give most of the top metal bands of the 80's a good musical slapping with She sells sancutary, lil' devil, rain, spirit walker, bone bag...i could go on  |

"Always thought 'Faith No More' were underrated. A band called 'deus' too...especially the old stuff"
Exactly who I was going to say, they we're so versatile, and made stuff that could be pigeon holed in so many different genres. Not to mention Mike Patton's vocals, he is unreal. |

"Pulp. They never got the praise they deserved because everyone seemed obsessed with oapiss in the 90s "
Criminally underrated. Were that good, they should’ve headlined Glastonbu.......oh .
There’s some pretty big bands in this list!

Oh my god! There is soneone else who remembers that Neds had a female singer very early on!
I got in to TWS and poppies around 88 by which point they'd pretty much fucked off to London although you'd occasionally see them around Brum, I actually met Miles at the height of his rude amd unapproachable days (outside the old virgin megastore in brum) and he was so engaging and pleasant, the opposite to his reputation.
Neds were always about, you could pretty much guarantee if they weren't on tour one of them (usually Rat) was at the same gigs as me.
This thread is turning from underrated bands to Brummie grebo's reminiscing! Looking at the age of other posters we must have brushed shoulders at a lot of gigs! |

I remember as well- if i dig round in the loft, i may well have a VHS with what i think was Neds first go at a music video, which i think she was on?
From memory, it mainly involved them dicking around in a shopping trolley, possibly on the hill down the side of The Crown pub? (halfway down the high st on the bend between the two halves)- been rather a while since i last saw it |
