I think these guys are pretty underrated and are overlooked. Overall there music is great.

I find the Red House Painters to be incredibly tedious. Their music is already slow and subtle...why the hell is that album so damn long? Half an hour in and I'm completely satisfied...I check how much more there is, see I still have close to an hour's worth, and decide I just can't handle it anymore.
As for me...
The Sundays - Fans of the Smiths should love these guys. Their albums Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic as well as Blind are really good.
Lush - Actually, these guys are a pretty well known shoegaze band, but I think they are underrated. Gala is great as well as their slightly-change-of-direction album Lovelife.
Pale Saints - Again, another band that gets some recognition around here but I still think deserves a mention. The Comforts of Madness is a classic.
Underworld - Not sure when these guys started, but some of their best work was done in the 90's. Some of the best electronic music every created. dubnobasswithmyheadman would be their classic 90's album. Oblivion With Bells is very recent, but its freaking GOOD.
Madder Rose - Some straight ahead guitar rock with a VERY 90's feel. Their album Panic On is a good listen.
Swirlies - We Spent Our Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons is required listening. If I had a list of the most underrated bands of all time, these guys would easily make top 3.
