    Big Country. Stuart Adamson lead singer was a genius. Their management and record companies were their downfall.

    Tbh they had to grow on me the first few times I listened to them. Try Repeater or The Argument.

    The Frank & Walters should be much bigger. A criminally under rated band from Cork.

    The Blades, U2's big Dublin rivals in the late 70s, most of the music press of the era predicted the Blades to make it big not U2.

    Rory Gallagher, how many here could name 3 of his songs(and be honest)

    Massive fan. He truly is underrated - one of the best musicians to have ever been produced in Ireland, if not the world.

    Few interesting tidbits:

    Jimi Hendrix was once asked by a journalist what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world and he said 'I dont know, ask Rory Gallagher'

    At one time there was a poll taken of some of the great guitarists (Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, etc.) to determine their choice of the greatest - guess who won?

    I ****ing love Rory.

    Gentle Giant.
    A group of absolutely exquisite multi instrumentalists that didn't seem to take off like the likes of Rush. Stumbled upon them by accident myself, any prog rock fans here should check them out.

    Will check that out. Was massive into Rush back in the day, Gentle Giant is ringing a bell somewhere in the back of me head.

    Microdisney and Fatima Mansions.

    If Cathal Coughlan ever dies, I'll demand statues in his honour to be placed on every mountaintop in the land.

    Someone might cut them down though, if they don't believe in Cathal Coughlan.

    That's a widely circulated but not true tidbit, unfortunately.

    Big time. Also, the Mars Volta. Not enough people know or give this incredible band a chance. The were one of the greatest modern bands, pushing musical boundaries into uncharted waters during their all too brief career.

    Well, I can't prove it's true but a quick google search will show this quote to be widely accepted through various outlets, including Rolling Stone.

    Incidentally, on conducting that search, I stumbled on a petition started by Slash to have Rory inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Its a travesty he's not already on it.

    Its a rumour that was originally attributed to Phil keaggy, not Rory, but has also put numerous people in place of them.

    And for the record I think Rory is an amazing guitarist and musician.

    The gigs they've played last few years have all sold out almost immediately, everywhere, everyone loves them, they're generally held to be legends of 'alt rock'. Not underrated.

    The Butthole Surfers on the other hand...or indeed Bongwater.

    Alice In Chains. They were big in the 90s,but much less appreciated than Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
