Most Underrated Artist?

    Sound good judging from the links and these sort of threads do popup from time to time.
    Its not they are under-rated which means people have heard the music but didn't get them or disliked them without realizing their genius.
    In a similar vein many bands fall into the 'unheard' rather than under-rated category.
    Compulsion a punk from the 90's where under-rated at the time. They got some exposure but the mass's where not interested.There where too many other similar post punky/pop outfits at the time. If they where around in today's climate I imagine they would be far more successful.Good head nodding melodic punk bands are hard to find these days.
    I honestly think they released two of the best albums in a glorious period of alternative music during the mid 90's and still sounds good in 2014.

    Underrated? Really? I'd say Dexys (both incarnations) have received more than their fair share of critical acclaim. If anything they're a critic's band. Perhaps that's what you meant.
