    NRBQ.

    I don't know that they are underrated, but certainly they are not as known as they should be.

    Sometimes I think the point of band names is to make their fans sound silly when they talk about them.

    That'd be 30 Seconds to Mars; click and hear their new song. It's a good one.

    Re: Underrated Rock Bands

    Sinch is by far my favorite rock/metal band. I only know one other person who knows who they are.
    I'd also submit Strata (they have a lot of room to grow, but I've seen them live three times. They put on a great show.), Finger Eleven (seen them twice), Maktub (funk rock), Greenwheel (rock band from St. Louis, had a song nominated for a grammy), and Lennon Murphy. I just listened to a Coheed And Cambria album. They're pretty good, although their vocalists high pitched 80's-ish voice gets a on my nerves a bit. Slipknot and Mudvayne seem to have become somewhat respectable this year. Still a bit too much pointless screaming for my tastes, though.

    It is...in fact their entire catalog is great. Right now I am listening to their b-sides collection that just came out, and it's ace.
