Weekend Jukebox - UNDER-RATED

[ODShowtime]

I felt like this could be a good jukebox topic considering where we are right now.

What artists and songs do you feel are under-rated? Tell us about it!

Here's a good one. These guys kick azz!

Masters of Reality should have been huge.

 

[Mile High Lion]

The Tubes were always underrated. A very tight band. One of the comments on this You Tube video said it best 'they combine complex song construction with a feeling of complete abandon'.

FLC opened for U2 in the late 1990s in Philly - thought they were really good....

 

[psuro]

Although a popular song, and popular artists, this version is....Under-rated....

Great choice I just picked up a nice early pressing of this LP. I love finding the building blocks of hip hop.

This is a great rock song by a guy I’ve never really heard of beyond this song:

IDK if this is unrated but I think it is timely.....

 

[Mr. Potter]

For Rap and Hip-hop fans this is one of the most sampled beats of all time.

My daughter wrote and sings this song.

Most under-rated guitarist, to me: My main man Alex Lifeson!

Lerxst has finally gotten a bit of his due over the last decade or so, but he's a Pillar of rock guitar to me.

Here's a nice fresh cut to appreciate his genius. Two killer solos for the price of one.

Ocees are well regarded here, because we're cool. But they are still under-rated. This song is hype; it makes me wanna get up and walk around for a minute before I set back down.

 

[ODShowtime]

Atlantic totally screwed up AC/DC's 1976 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap album in the US. Released years late with a different track listing and cover. This song was excluded, yet it pulls the whole album together. It's UNDER-RATED!



Hmm, looks like Angus is in the middle of his under-rated "PJs" phase in this video.

LOVED this cassette (that’s right, I didn’t even have a CD player when this one came out). Definitely underrated.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

I don’t follow current music as much as I used to, so I have no idea whether or not this band is “underrated,” but I first heard Lord Huron on the final episode of Longmire, and have since become a fan. This is one of my favs…

 

[PhillyBillyReprise]

 

[LionsAndBears]

I was at the gym this week when this song came on and I immediately thought of how underrated it is. This song somehow gets overshadowed by Here I Go Again on the same album.

It only hit #18 on the US Rock Charts that year but it way outperforms that number! It is Zeppelin-esque with it's hard driving guitar rifs, Coverdale's over the top vocals and then all of a sudden it hits you with a symphony. Great song from the best musical decade of all-time!

These guys need a lot more aiplay. New album drops Sept. 23...



Always thought Interpol was underrated...

 

[LaJollaCreek]

Takes me back to NOLA, but from Leeds. Never heard them before 30 minutes ago. Some good phunk.
