Most of the artists you mentioned above are pretty old....Well for me one of the most underrated bands is blind melon.....i think they have very cool songs...

"[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feargal_Sharkey]Feargal Sharkey[/url] - Loving You" is great song for example and not known Artist that I like to hear from time to time.

I agree with stax - neil young is often forgotten but was a great musician - canned heat - black oak arkansas - the bands of the 70s were great!

Grass roots - Monkees - Mary Macgregor- Gladys Knight and the Pips!

Since so many have listed multiple artists that underrated/forgotten, I'll add mine (including some songs that you might enjoy), beginning with the one I previously mentioned:

RIP Lonesome Dave Peverett 1943 - 2000.

Just listened to some Foghat, very under rated as a band. Wow, these guys were good. Now I need to get their whole catalogue.

[quote="MusicBringer"][quote="Lightbee"] Steam - Na Na Hey, Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye. Great song.[/quote]
I was on a residential business course for a week in the late 1960s, we sang this song in the minibus as we were taken back to the train station - all together now...Na-Na Nar Nar... :lol:[/quote]

That is hilarious!!! We used to sing it over and over for the last 15 minutes of the basketball games in high school. Somehow the chorous is the only part that ever gets sungm which is fine by me. :D

Clyde McPhatter - A Lover's Question, Little Bitty Pretty One

Brought R&B to mainstream

great, so here is the link to the album:

http://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Little-dolls/dp/B000IONROE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293739874&sr=8-1

i dont see why you can't post a link to it.
if your going to one item that you are talking about in your post.

its not like your posting hundreds of links to random commercial sites in your subject content.

or multiple links in your signiture that go to them sites that have nothing to do with mediamonkey.

but i as well as others do report spamm which is mostly new members with only spam links in their posts.
and no conversations about mediamonkey.

but your not new and your only going to a item you can't find elsewhere. 8)

Wicked Little Dolls, in particular the songs Scarafina's Box, Rocking Chair and Trash Doll.

Is it OK to post a amazon link when it cannot be found at youtube?

How about Minnie Ripperton. She sang Lovin You. then had to leave the business due to illness. trivia bite: the name she says at the end of the song is her daughter.

here's another one, Steam. Don't know them? check out Na Na Hey, Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye. Great song even if they never were a real band. interested? read up on them and find out why i said they weren't a real band.

someone you all should check out : frank Zappa
not so widely known as he should be (although a large cult following, which are very devoted)
if you're into Rock, Jazz, Experimental, Classic, Doo-wop, Hard rock, this guy has it all.
