Agreed, although I think they are quite inconsistent which doesn't help.

There and to the left a bit

Finally getting a bit more credit but criminally underrated for years and written off as that band with the funny videos and catchy singles, when in fact there was, and is, so much more to them, especially on some very deep and sublime album tracks I'd have to nominate Madness who really are a lot more than a good time party band.

I was so into 5Star as a teenager - mind you, this was when they were at their peak.

System Addict still sounds great - I've even played it at the odd gig or two - will probably get an airing on New Years Eve too, as the pub i'm playing are all into 80's stuff

We second this! By far the most underrated band going (not bias only seen them a few times). Also we think Coheed and Cambria are especially when you read the comic books to go along the albums

Yep they're pretty good. I'd nominate Unknown Mortal Orchestra and the Violent Femmes. They don't nearly get the mainstream recognition I think they could easily get.
