Under-Appreciated Artists?

[MadcapLaughs]

You a Can fan at all Madcap? The Fall's "I am Damo Suzuki" is a brilliant tribute to Can.

Can. Probably the best German export ever. Damo is one of the many reasons I love the Fall. One of the most punk bands of all time. tragically underrated.

Can. Probably the best German export ever.

Nihilists disagree and point to this as the best German export ever.

Very true. Uli Kunkel is a man of many talents.

You can guess what he does next.

Fix the cable?

Seconding Husker Du! Good choice.

#1 Under-Appreciated Artist goes to Jeff Magnum of Neutral Milk Hotel. :clapping:

:sick:

joe higgs. i feel he still gets the shaft in terms of what he actually contributed to the world of music. without him there may have been no marley or wailers. may the godfather of reggae rip.

This is Driving Miss Crazy with Trey Hensley on lead guitar, Grammy winner Tim Stafford on guitar, Duane "Catfish" Frye on harp. Saturday the 14th I am singing with them at the Racks By The Tracks Festival in Kingsport, TN. Over 4200 tickets of 5000 available have been sold with a sell-out certain. It did last year.

I'll add Wall of Voodoo. Stan Ridgeway was a great vocalist and Marc Moreland was an outstanding and unique guitar player (RIP).

This is a great video someone did for a WoV song - the lyrics and guitar are outstanding.

So glad you agree. His awesomeness makes me sick to my stomach sometimes, too.

Mission of Burma

Revolver

That's When I Reach for my Revolver. Classic track

tons of people cover this jam. Graham Coxon does the best.

Great song.

Here's one I came across today - appears they were under appreciated because they only put out about 4 songs.

This one is really growing on me.

I Jog & the Tracksuits - Redbox.

Another one for the category - T Rex (Marc Boland)

Other than "Get It On" most people have only heard of but haven't heard T Rex. Very influential. Boland had great chops.

Been listening to Common lately.

This guy is great at what he does but seemingly never gets the love he should.

Helps when Kanye is in your corner but he has been great since the 90's.

YouTube - Common ft. Dwele - The People

at the top of my list of guys who don't get enough cred.

#1 most under-appreciated artist of all time: Prince

Guy played all the instruments on his debut album at 17 or 18 years old.

 

[GahLee]

at the top of my list of guys who don't get enough cred.

He is phenomenal.

I love the the song that's linked.

Kanye took Gil-Scott Herron's " we almost lost Detroit" and made it one of the best beats I have ever heard.
