They are one of my all my favorite bands.
I think most australian bands tend to be underrated, especially outside of Australia let alone inside.

I also have a feeling that because Midnight Oil deals with all the big issues people are put off them for some reason. I know a lot of white australians who are put off them by their songs about racism and aboriginal land rights etc. Or maybe i just move in really racist circles...
