Underrated Bands That You Think People Should Check Out.

[Paroxysm]

What are some bands that never got the success they deserved?

I nominate a band called Splashdown.

Splashdown, formed in Allston, Massachusetts, in 1996, was an American pop rock band. The group disbanded in 2001; their last show was at the release party for the debut CD of Freezepop on February 2 of that year. Splashdown gained a small but extremely loyal following in the Northeast United States for their combination of electronica, rock, jazz, and Middle-Eastern influences. The band is sometimes described as a trip hop act.

My friend gave me a mix cd in 2001 with a bunch of Splashdown songs, They made some really great music.

not a band, but i think that David Gray has to be the most under appreciated artist out there

Cool, I haven't heard of him but I'll give him a listen.

I listen to a lot of metal, classic rock, soft rock, and etc. But a lot of the metal bands I listen to are pretty underrated in my opinion.

My recommendation as far as bands are concerned is Nightwish, Sixx A.M., Still Remains, and Sevendust.
