What bands do you think DO NOT get enough Credit? (metal, album)

Since we've already covered the most over-rated bands, what do you think are the bands that don't get near enough credit?

plz give your opinions, no matter what they might be.

peace,

There are alot of unheard metal bands that I love and I ask people if they know them and no one has the faintest clue about who they are....I think there are hundreds of bands that need more publicity....But then again that will make it go all to their head and make them crap so none LOL

Cake, The Kinks, Placebo, Leftover Crack, Still Life, They Might Be Giants, R.E.M., and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Morphine, Wire, My Life With the Thrill Kill Cult, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Skatalites, The The, Prince, Dag Nasty, War, The Cramps........I could go on forever

I think The Skatalites and Dag Nasty get enough credit as is.
Everyone says The Skatalites' self-titled is the only c.d. you have to get if you want to hear REAL ska.
Dag Nasty, they're just a HUGE name in emo.
I was going to say The The, but yeah, they could definitely use a little more credit.
They get really high album reviews and all, but aren't too popular in mainstream culture.

I can see how that's probably so. I'm not into emo (in the 80s we just called it punk), but I can see how Dag Nasty probably does get a lot of credit within the genre

Simply not true, and you would be surprised how influential they've been outside the realm of Jamaican music.

Prince? Really? You don't think Prince gets enough credit?

Prince gets plenty of credit for being a pop star, but as a guitarist and blues/gospel singer/songwriter? Not at all.
