Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Soul Asylum and Collective Soul.

If you want something edgier, I'll say Stabbing Westward or Machines of Loving Grace.

88horsepower · 02-25-2019, 01:09 AM

For me, it’s Luscious Jackson. To me, their first three albums are flawless works of art.

jdandns · 02-25-2019, 01:29 AM

Concrete Blonde
Digital Underground
They Might Be Giants
Dramarama

...are all criminally underrated.

The correct answer is Live.

BOboy · 02-25-2019, 09:17 AM

Helmet, "Aftertaste" is one of my all time favorite albums.

Two of those hits are from the 2000s so I dont think Fuel qualifies.

Live is always among the first bands people bring up, so I'm not sure they're really underrated anymore.

I'd like to shout out Soul Coughing, myself. Not "most" underrated, but a fun band I dig.

Also, maybe its just because of my age, but I think Aerosmith's 90's work is very underrated despite their commercial success.

Second Stabbing Westward.

Maybe its because I live in Central PA but I never thought Live was underappreciated.

Had a chance to see Soul Asylum live in 2014, when they toured with Everclear, Eve 6 and Space Hog. I went to see Eve 6 for the first time but it was Soul Asylum that stole the show and absolutely killed it. I remembered liking their music in the 90's but became a fan after seeing them live.

Agreed. Still love Shimmer though.

Are they? I never hear anyone talk about how much they like Live. But also I don't talk to many people.

Collective Soul's "Dosage" is one of my favorite albums ever ever.

Third Eye Blind is still overrated simply because of how terrible they were live.

Pearce77 · 02-25-2019, 12:33 PM

The Nixons
Jimmie's Chicken Shack
Stabbing Westward (saw them in a small venue in 1999 - so good)
The Faint

race774 · 02-25-2019, 01:49 PM

The Tragically Hip gets my vote.

Throwing Copper is a magnificent album. As is The Distance to Here which has Dolphin's Cry on it. I just feel like no one talks about them. At least from what I've seen.

They really should have rethought their band name though. Have you ever tried searching for Live tickets? It's exhausting.

hairysasquatch · 02-25-2019, 04:20 PM

Some great feedback in here! I always associate Fuel with 90s but perhaps I should have rephrased the query as fin-du-vingtieme-siecle band??

LVDan · 02-25-2019, 04:24 PM

My 90s underrated band list:
Morphine
Black Crowes
Wilco
Cracker
Screaming Trees
Tragically Hip
Kyuss

They eventually became Queens of the Stone Age correct?

Yeah at least the 2 main guys I think. Wasn't really into either band back in the day but both were waaay ahead of their time and Ive delved in recently.

fordman · 02-25-2019, 04:51 PM

Alice In Chains for me in the 90's. I quit listening to music radio about 1993. Switched over to talk radio. We had a ZRock affiliate here in Cincinnati until June 1992. They switched to country. Their competitor was 107.1 The Power Pig. That lasted until April 1993. They switched to Alternative rock. Only listen FM now because my 13yr old listens to the local pop station.
