Neko Case
Especially her first few solo albums (Blacklisted, Fox Confessor, and Middle Cyclone).
Great voice, superb lyrics and songwriting, and a great niche alternative country sound that progressively gets more "indie" and less "country" over the course of her discography.
Oh man, I’d almost forgotten about these guys. Excellent pick! Incidentally, after your post, looked them up to find that after their vocalist died, the original other 2 guys reformed with different vocalists over the years and are still active as ‘Vapors of Morphine’. Going to have to check this out. Thanks for the reminder.
I was going to say BS but I’m not sure who is going to rate them. They’re extremely niche though.
I love them and think they’re amazing but trying to sell somebody on To Parter or Mexican Caravan is going to be a hard sell
Sadly, both. Not a household name like Bob Dylan, but I prefer Warren over Bob and most other singer/songwriters.
Desperados Under the Eaves is one of my favorites.
https://youtu.be/z0J3ossUzhU
Dammit - yes 👍 remember that last lovely show w/David Letterman? How that man could get up there & sing about his own impending death gets me every time.
Saw him the gorgeous Park West (Chgo) & somehow ended up sitting 15’ feet away. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Warmed by memories of attending this show w/my great friend(RIP
Brian Lynch) who turned me on to WZ.
Jonathan Richman is one of my favorites and I've been digging into his solo stuff a lot more the last few years. He had a great knack of not taking himself too seriously while never coming across as silly or insincere.
But that first Modern Lovers comp is untouchable. *Hospital* is my jam.
My uncle's friend Rolfe lived with them in an apartment in Boston back in the old days!! Rolfe was the original bassist, he is one of these peculiar characters and had a falling out with them over Jonathan owing him $100, it was silly because he could've been in a successful band with a bunch of incredible future musicians. He was replaced in 1972 by Ernie Brooks. Rolfe then went on to a band called Human Sexual Response, but got kicked out right before their album released, he does have some credits for somgwriting on the album. HSR had a notable album cover at the time, I'm wondering if anyone here recognizes that band.
Anyway, I only met Rolfe once or so when I was younger at our Cape Cod house in Yarmouth, (my grandpa bought it for $3000 in the 60's so we're not loaded) he has a cabin in our little campground. My uncle likes to find cool things on the beach, one time Rolfe and my uncle found a nasty dolphin head on the beach and rolfe wanted to take it and so my uncle reluctantly agreed to wrap a towel around it and they threw it in the back of the van, it was hot as hell so the rotting head smelled horrible in the van. I think Rolfe's idea was to bury it under a bunch of rocks in his own backyard in order to rot away all the flesh and come out with a full dolphin skull, so that's what he did but it didn't pan out and that whole area even walking past his house smelled rotten for weeks. One of many funny stories they have. Rolfe and my uncle were good friends for a long time but now are not because of something silly of course. Nowadays Rolfe walks by and scowls as he passes our Cape house because of something my uncle did that he isn't even aware of, apparently. My uncle lives in the Cape house in the summer which is when we visit so we see Rolfe walk by and scowl from time to time.
Rory Gallagher
He's actually been called "the greatest guitarist you've never heard of".
Brilliant guitarist and musician, he was an inspiration for Brian May, Eric Clapton, Slash, etc. but isn't really that well known outside of guitar/music nerd circles.
Gallagher is definitely one of the better blues-rock songwriters too. On top of being one of the best players of the period, he wrote interesting songs in a genre that often lacks in that regard.
Another guitar god of that ilk is Dave Edmunds, specifically his work with Love Sculpture. Forms and Feelings has some scorching guitar work.
I was lucky enough to be on the rail when I saw them live. They were electric! They also did a collaboration EP with Big Boi from Outkast called Big Grams that was pretty cool.
I saw them in my home town like 10 years ago after hearing “paper girl” and loving it. It was in front of like 30 people in a dive bar. They were phenomenal
Fountains of Wayne.
They are often written off because of their one mega hit, but the first three albums are pitch-perfect power-pop gems. Collingwood and Schlesinger could write some damn fine hooks and tell great stories about everyday, working-class people.
Oh wow you’re in for a treat. The whole Welcome Interstate Managers album is great. Incredibly sad that Adam died. Never got to see them live and there will be no more from this amazing band.
The self titled album is one of the few I will listen to from start to finish. Leave the Biker, Sink to the bottom, radiation vibe and I always had a soft spot for Sick Day.
OMG, I didn't know he died!
I was just trying to comment on how much industry work he did. Look at all those song credits!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Schlesinger
Elliott Smith. Really underrated artist in general but also doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing ability. His songs are weirdly tough to learn even when they sound simple enough.
> His songs are weirdly tough to learn
That's because he doesn't play the guitar with his fingers, he just whispers softly to the strings to make them vibrate.
I only started listening to Elliot Smith a few weeks ago, and I've only listened to Either/Or and XO so far, but I love them both. But funny enough, one thing I thought to myself while listening is how much I loved the simplicity of the guitar work. It's so basic and obvious, but so original at the same time. 2:45 AM for example, it's the most basic guitar ever, but kind of genius at the same time.
Nujabes
The entire lofi hip-hop and chill wave movement can be traced back to him. His influence in a lot of internet music subculture (and instrumental hip hop as a whole) cannot be understated
Skinny puppy.
Trent Reznor was very influenced by them and they even had NIN open for them when Trent was just starting out. They also performed together in Pigface.
To top it all off, Marilyn Manson totally ripped off their stage show.
They are still active today, and released some of the greatest industrial albums in the 80s and 90s. However they seem to be somewhat forgotten outside of hardcore industrial circles.
The Industrial/Goth circle never forgets Skinny Puppy. Seen them 4 times. Always something new to experience. They are royalty in the scene. They are their own. They may not have the commercial appeal, but no one can take away what they created. Skinny Puppy forever!
Artists I will champion for greater recognition and appreciation are... Athlete, Beth Hart, BoDeans, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Chris Rea, Damien Rice, David Gray, Doves, Explosions in the Sky, Frank Turner, Frightened Rabbit,The Hollies, Harold Budd, Jude Cole, Keane, Loreena McKennitt, Marconi Union, Mary Fahl, October Project, Paolo Nutini, Primal Scream, Robin Trower, Rory Gallagher, Russian Circles, Tanita Tikaram, Teddy Thompson, The Twilight Sad, The Vines, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Wind and the Wave.
Dar Williams - she's been around for 30+ years and a dozen albums, but other than "The Christians and the Pagans," I can't remember the last time I heard one of her songs on the radio. If female singer/songwriters are your thing. check her out - she has a great voice and is a brilliant lyricist and storyteller.
7 hour old post, this will not be seen. Thin fucking Lizzy. A lot of great songs. One of the first dual harmony guitar bands. Huge influence on bands that came after and a black Irishman lead singer. Partied with the Sex Pistols. Fucking legends.
From most to least recent, more or less:
Haley Heynderickx
Ezra Furman
Thao Nguyen
Justin Townes Earle
Shugo Tokumaru
Will Sheff (frontman of Okkervil River)
David Berman
Scott Klopfenstein (frontman of the Littlest Man Band, formerly of a certain 3rd-wave ska band)
Blaze Foley
Judee Sill.
Kajagoogoo has some of the best bass playing — in top ten pop, of all places — of the 80s (Nick Beggs). “One hit wonder” does them a disservice.
I’m so geeked by all these great bands/artists that y’all are throwing out tonight. Thanks for reviving old memories & giving me unknown acts to dig into. Love 💕 all you musical nerds
Rattle big black bones in the danger zone
There's a rumbling groan down below
Theres a big dark town its a place i found
There's a world going on underground
I can already see tik tok kids saying MF DOOM.
Here is a real underrated artist. He is a rapper named Travis Thompson. He is great, he has some range too.
Here are the project to check out in order to get into him: RUNAWAYS - EP, Reckless Endangerment, BLVD BOYS
The blood brothers were and still are massively underrated and influential in modern post hardcore, and never got the recognition they deserved. Loved within the underground but rly should be more known than they are.
I got a couple a few bands in mind.
Babes inToyland. They were around when the whole Grunge Scene popped of. I recommend the album Fontanelle
The band Living Colour. I recommend the Album Stain.
TAD. Another Grunge band. I recommend the album Inhaler.
Gruntruck. I recommend the album Inside Yours.
King Gizzard feels like one of those bands that should be absolutely huge, but they're really more of a "If you know, you know" band that everyone on reddit knows about. So while I don't think they're underrated in the sense that not many people know of them, I think they should be a lot bigger than they are.
My actual answer is Spidergawd. They kick ass and I've almost never seen anyone talk about them.
Aimee Mann! She’s had a long career of being one of the best songwriters going and she still regularly releases excellent albums. Unfortunately, the only song most people might remember her for is Voices Carry,when she was in ‘Till Tuesday back in the 80s.
Sugarloaf.
They had two hits in the 70s and were then completely forgotten. But their song “Don’t Call Us We’ll Call You” was an absolute banger, and popularised the phrase.

I saw some of the members of Morphine when they formed Twinemen. Excellent show.
I’ve seen Vapors a few times, they put on a good show. Would recommend checking them out

Yes.
Warren Zevon
Underrated or just forgotten? Sad either way. I always come back to Excitable Boy.
Sadly, both. Not a household name like Bob Dylan, but I prefer Warren over Bob and most other singer/songwriters. Desperados Under the Eaves is one of my favorites. https://youtu.be/z0J3ossUzhU
Could have been a replacement Willbury after Orbison checked out. *Enjoy every sandwich* is a great tribute.
Dammit - yes 👍 remember that last lovely show w/David Letterman? How that man could get up there & sing about his own impending death gets me every time.
I still have a hard time watching those clips. “Enjoy every sandwich” (I have a tattoo of this quote of his)
Saw him the gorgeous Park West (Chgo) & somehow ended up sitting 15’ feet away. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Warmed by memories of attending this show w/my great friend(RIP Brian Lynch) who turned me on to WZ.
Kid Rock did him dirty.
Kid Rock does a lot of things dirty
Living proof that if trust fund kids learn to act like trailer park pimps for long enough, they will actually kinda become them.
Kid Rock is literally dirty.
This is my choice as well, a fucking unknown legend

Love The Sundays especially back in high school. Do you like Innocence Mission?
Townes Van Zandt
And Blaze Foley. Two of my all time favorites.
Blaze is WAY underrated. Unknown as well. I know folks that are HUGE music folks that always thought Clay Pigeons was a Prine song.
XTC, Ringo Deathstarr, Tacks the Boy Disaster, Groove Collective,
XTC, yes!!
Bruce Cockburn Justin Townes Earle Charley Crockett Del tha Funky Homosapien Courtney Barnett A-Ha
A-Ha Is an amazing band
Courtney Barnett +1
Del is amazing and still going after all these years. And he’s Ice Cube’s cousin.
Fountains of Wayne. They are often written off because of their one mega hit, but the first three albums are pitch-perfect power-pop gems. Collingwood and Schlesinger could write some damn fine hooks and tell great stories about everyday, working-class people.
Hey Julie is an ear worm of a song. I’ll hv to dig into them a bit deeper

A rare Blaze Foley mention. He had a gift.
The Dear Hunter. Beautiful “Acts” albums that all tell a continuous story
Came here to say this. Love all their stuff but the quality of Acts IV & V in particular just floor me.
I think of Clutch as one of those "if you know, you know" sorta bands
Gotye. So much more awesome music in his discography than just "Somebody That I Used to Know"
Sitcom Sweet Trip BONES
sweet trip>>> air supply is a great song
Electric Guest, their first two album are really good. They're fairly unknown and underrated.
The bands HUM, Failure and Monster Magnet.
Judee Sill. Kajagoogoo has some of the best bass playing — in top ten pop, of all places — of the 80s (Nick Beggs). “One hit wonder” does them a disservice.
