I feel that UFO is a fairly underrated band that very few people seem to talk about despite them being fairly big back in the 70's

When Martin said Guns n'Roses is probably overrated, I could see Pete was thinking 'I don't even rate them'.

Armored Saint and the John Bush era of Anthrax.

Being a Canadian, never understood why April Wine, Max Webster and The Tragically Hip were not a lot bigger in the U. S.

I think Uriah heep is well known, but very underated

Fates Warning is criminally underrated... they've been around for close to 40 years and paid their dues for them to end up touring small venues in Europe in the middle of winter (January/February), sad!

Flotsam and Jetsam - great riffs, vocals, hooks and layered guitar harmonies. Unique stylings. Variations in song writing.

Van Der Graaf Generator. Absolutely love Peter Hammill. Unbelievable (and underrated) Prog band.

Agreed 💯 with Kings X Each of the three members are constantly overlooked and underrated, great records.... should have been huge.

Blue Oyster Cult is my choice of most underrated band.

Mountain, one song everyone knows. Not a lot of people know anything else.

King's X and Savatage are both in my list, also: Saga Camel Galactic Cowboys Jellyfish UFO Magnum

Badlands = true stuff. And so is everything Jake does. No heavy merchandising, no big deals, but true rock.

I'd Put SWEET in this catagory as well! They should have been ginormous imo!

Thin Lizzy and Blue Oyster Cult are easily the most underrated hard rock bands of the 70s
@kevinturchin 3 years ago

This list starts with Thin Lizzy. They had a string of fantastic albums.

Helstar - metal band from Texas in the 80's. Their third and fourth albums, "A Distant Thunder" and "Nosferatu" were conceptual proggy metal that predated what would eventually come along with Dream Theatre and Symphony X.

Underrated for me: XYZ, Y&T, Extreme, Triumph,

You picked one of the two bands that immediately came to mind for me. One is Kings X which you picked. The other one is Porcupine Tree. They should have been much bigger than they were. They have such a great catalog.

I seen Starz and Angel on the bill at EJ Thomas center right after theyre first albums came out. I thought both of these bands would be big. Nope, now I know what happened. Thanks , great show.
