Absolutely. I saw them at Latitude last year and was SO underwhelmed considering all the hype surrounding them. Like a VERY poor man's Arcade Fire, some of the atmosphere (but worse fashion) but no tunes that grabbed you immediately.
Most underrated? The National, by an absolute mile.

Touchy and Cry Wolf are probably the weakest 2 songs in their entire repetiore. Well done.

Irrelevant - they've had about 6 WORLD TOURS. They cannot be underrated.
This band was underrated:
Garage_Doors
Originally the Swankers
Think your probably right, it wast influenced as they were the first band i connected with as a teenager, + Bob gave me a fag down the Suite when they supported the Jags
Think this selection was seduced by nostalgia.
I therefore withdraw this nomination.

The Men They Couldn't Hang and Blaggers ITA deserved more success than they actually got.

Was considering saying this band.
Was in a bar in Worthing last night and Wide Open Space came on. Absolute tune.

Would certainly agree with some of the above:
It's Immaterial
The Divine Comedy
Lightning Seeds (and if we're talking pure sugar-coated pop music then Frazier Chorus must be mentioned)

A band I felt were MASSIVELY underated mostly due to the massive over exposure of the average Happy Mondays and one trick ponies Stone Roses were the incredible Northside.
Or perhaps it was due to the fact I was out of my tits for most of the early nineties.
