mad season and TOTD deserve a nod even tho they only had 1 album a piece.
 
i guess it's the whole indie title. they never got the mass acclaim they deserved. they put out some solid music for sure. ur right tho, you ask a ton of bands and they will tell you they were influenced by sonic youth. i am also guessing those same bands say they are an overall underrated band.

You have to put it in perspective. They don't make music for the masses but they still achieved about as much as they could. You could say the same thing about Pavement and Pixies as well.

i didn't necessarily mean music for the masses, but alot of people have never even heard of sonic youth. i see your point tho.
 
Some that have been listed:

Robin Trower, Montrose (first band Hagar sang with).

Others:

Teenage Fan Club (reincarnation of Big Star who is probably overrated)
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (2nd gen. FM is overrated IMHO)
Giant Sand
MC5
Buzzcocks
Wire


I love the Pixies but they do get a lot of love so I'd say they are "rated"

I mostly agree re: the pixies. Similar situation to Sonic Youth. But I think Pixies are slightly more rated than Sonic Youth because, at the very least, Pixies got a lot of mainstream recognition from Fight Club.
