Titz Towers, North Notts

What bands do you think are great and should be far better known?

For me Terrorvision are almost cruelly underrated.

Their album, Regular Urban Survivors is fantastic

The Coral.

For me, the best UK band from the last 40yrs!

Will be watching them again in Liverpool and Manchester, this Saturday and next.

"James "

They are massive they have had number one albums

Underrated should mean that they have had no hits

Somewhere In The Ether…

They sadly split some years back but the Italo Disco band, Aleph.

They were apparently successful on the continent but are virtually unknown here in the UK

Not enough of them for the quality of the band. And they were mostly the second act. Kelly Jones is amazing and they rock live

Whilst they did enjoy some chart success I think Squeeze were the most under appreciated band of their time.

Just around the corner

World Party

Karl Wallanger is an amazing song writer and musician, and yet he never quite managed to turn it into chart success. Which seems astonishing when he wrote and recorded the original version of She’s the one. All Robbie Williams did was record a nearly identical vocal track with the same band and have more sales appeal.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise.

Ignore the goofy name. They're massively underrated band. If you only listen to one song it has to be Cold Love. Devil Like Me is also amazing.

Got to number 2 in the album charts earlier this year, but as usual with a rock act they get barely any airplay or acknowledgment from the vast majority of Radio stations
