The most Underated pop band/artist

[Two Headed Boy]

Conversation that came up tonight

My nom for this has always been Carter USM

The perfect blend of pop and punk but probably too weird to ever be properly cool.

Difficult one, the definition of “underrated” being lack of big commercial success, or critical acclaim? Find it quite quite hard to think of many artists I rate who tick both those boxes.

Would XTC maybe fall into this category? In the words of Billy Brown, strugglin’..

There is a young hand from glenrothes called sergeant who I thought we're excellent then faded away.

Kyle Falconer ( the view) isnt just a junky Ned fae Dundee, a very talented songwriter and chanter when he wishes.
The vaccines are top notch also.

Graham Parker and the rumour.
Saw them twice brilliant.
Think they only had a couple of minor hits. Protection and Local girls.

One of those bands, like the Cars and Joe Jackson that probably made it onto a punks admmited listening list-Graham Parker, that is.Don't Answer Questions was quite big i think?Think I remember one of those Rock College gigs.Mink de Ville comes to mind too.

In one way I quite like that perhaps only me and about 10 thousand others only liked a band.I remember how put out I felt when Simple Minds went huge.To think that I saw them supporting Magazine and my brother interviewed them for a post punk fanzine he was puting out.

I remember seeing them as Johnny & The Self Abusers right here in Glenrothes many moons ago
