As my highest-played and favorite band, I feel like I'm obligated to stick Brand New under the "most underrated" section of this thread. I would admit that they'd be rather ordinary if it wasn't for Lacey's brilliant lyrics. They're one of the few modern artists who've mastered Emo without sounding like the popularized overdramatic retards who pollute the genre. I've also got to credit them for the remarkable evolution from their first album to their second. Deja Entendu is one of my top albums ever.
