QuoteIMO Randy Newman is the greatest lyrcist of all time, yet clowns like Neil Young seem to get more credit.
cruacahan, most underrated, they are known world wide and have played on many foreign soils, but remain relatively unknown. anyone here ever heard of them. shane mcgowan produced one of their albums and sung on ride on.quality song.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

Most underrated Irish band = Bawl
Teenage Fanclub never seemed to get the credit they totally deserved.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Mellencamp or Chris Rea, both legends who never got the status they deserved.
Most underated album...
Smashing Pumpkins 'Adore'
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
You do know that Bawl are pretty much Pony Club now?Originally Posted by ifk101

honestly!
their first album is unbelievably good
Hmmm, not a fan of it myself, you definately miss Jimmy on drums. And a lot of the songs are about Billy's mother dying, and him losing his faith because of it.
Second album wasn't great, sounded way too overproduced.
Then they lost Hilary!
New album due "soon"
I'll probably pick it up, a mate of mine is a massive fan
aimee seems treading water a bit on her latest, i wish she'd f*ck her style up a bit. but her lyrics can be superb sometimes. live she's good. billy oldham is a weird one, he seems to have his head up his own bum (re-recording his older Palace stuff with country music session musicians?) sometimes but you can't argue with his lyrics, delivery on a lot of his songs. dunno if either are underrated though? 'indie press' plaudits for both in recent years.
neil young overrated? jaysis. try 'on the beach' and 'american stars n' bars' or zuma or decade or - -there's loads. a **** period in the 80s a la bob dylan but most songwriters have a middle aged blip it seems. his poetry stands up on the page and when it doesn't, the guitar .. ! the man's a god with it. i guess his style is 'make do with what you have.'
beatles/beach boys would be my shout in this thread (and all the old r+b artists they ripped off)
he certainly did in ireland.old "benny santini" is a god here
I saw them support somebody i can't remember a few years back,Jaysus they were sh*te
...and as for that he-banshee of a singer
"I don’t want to tempt fate, but Thierry Henry is not having one of his best nights." - RTE co-commentator Jim Beglin, minutes before TH struck the stunning winner.
Damien Rice and Bloc party.
I don't think either of them would be under-rated to be fair, there's huge hype surrounding them both.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
What's so underrated about them. DR was on one of those poxy teen shows in the US wasn't he? Or was that someone else? Plus every bird in the country owns his stuff. Bloc Party are so 'hot right now' it makes me want to kill myself. Two of the most overrated more like.

Damo Rice is underrated imo,he gets credit but not enough
Yep, they broke up after a few singles + one album, then reformed as Fixed Stars, and now the one-man show Pony Club.
I seen Pony Club 4 times now. Bawl were class. One man show? More like 4 man show?
what like ...do you want him on all the time on all the stations instead of most of the on most of the?
...and then they fill in the gaps with his girlfriend doing white stripes cover versions on a cello. jesus fcukin wept!!!
aint it a good thing that there's plenty of alternative radio time for everyone else.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
