were underrated in your opinion.
I remember seeing The Motors live in the late 70s and when I saw there videos on youtube it brought back some very fond memories:
Everybody will remember their hit single Airport

And who can forget their legendary appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test performing Dancing The Night Away

Years ago I saw The Beatstalkers live and at the time wondered why they didn't make it big.
Your thread made me look them up on youtube and I got my answer, they were chyte.

Loads probably
60ft Dolls - like Oasis, but really good
Bomb Disneyland - Deeside thrash/hardcore band at the height of the period. Should have been huge, or at least medium.
Brakes - Debut album got Rough Trade's LP of the year. Ridiculously good. Think a British Pixies. Just pooted along and then gave up.
Cathy Davey - another one who's debut LP was sensational. Now stays at home minding the farm while Neil Hannon goes out getting paid for arching his eyebrows.
Cotton Mather - their Kontiki album is one of those almost flawless albums. Ridiculously strong song writing.
Death Angel - another thrash band from back in the day. Act III remains the greatest thrash album of all time in my opinion. Never reached the heights of less talented peers.
dEUS - Their 1999 album The Ideal Crash is - imo - the single greatest LP of all time. Heroes back in Belgium but have enough talent, style and imagination that they should be international stars.
Future of the Left - like a re-incarnated Nirvana. Falco is one of the best lyricists around.

"You've got a smiling face'
Brilliant keyboard player in the video. Standing up and for four minutes hardly looked down at the keyboards once.

Great band but 'Forget About You' does sound uncannily like the Grandstand theme tune.
One for the oldies - Savoy Brown (Blues Band)
Dome in Brighton (1970?) warm up act for Jethro Tull - they couldn't get them off the stage to get Tull on
Mac - we should do a fred on bands we saw live 40 years apart - saw Curved Air a few weeks ago, 40 odd years on - they're still not very good

Cecil - Supported Skunk Anansie and headined a few gigs in and around their native Liverpool back in the late 90's. Try and get a hold of 'No Excuses and 'Fishes', the latter boasting the immortal line 'I've been unwillingly screwing rabbits'
Also Flowered Up, Diamond Head, New Model Army and Callow Saints

Be Bop Deluxe were the most underated Band, these days The Brian Jonestown Massacre are but I like em like that , under the radar.
Two bands I rated but were never "big time", Brinsley Schwarz and The Raymond Froggatt Band, both excellent imo.
Remember the forumite Yorkshire Terrier, he was a massive be bop deluxe fan.
If Bill Nelson had come from London and not Wakefield he would have been as big as Bowie
