What band or person is the most underrated muscician of all time. It can be from any genre or any period of time. Try to be creative with your answer. or not. I don't care.
While you didn't say the magic words, I will still show you 11 links to prove to you that they are a genuine band worthy of mass recognition. But have you ever listened to multiple songs and made a thorough judgment whether those songs sound the same or not?
While I'm at it, Sabaton is another underrated band. Probably not the most, but enough to the point where it hurts and where they deserve more fame than they already have.
But that's because we've moved onto a new generation of music.
These 2 bands were the total shiz-nitz back in their time, and I'm pretty sure many people have heard of them today, even.
See, thee guys have talent. People know that. People acknowledge that. MANY people acknowledge that. And even if they are underrated, we're talking about of all time--which is impossible to answer with the sheer range of styles and bands. No way that those 2 mega-bands are more underrated than, say, Dragonforce (high-five, Freakenstein!).
Foo Fighters are most recognized by one song, like Dragonforce, but there are other good songs too.

LG: -- What are your memories of the 2006 Ozzfest then?
Herman: -- I thought Ozzfest 2006 was a good tour, even though at the end it was a total disaster.It seemed we were the only band there that had never really played America (laughs). DragonForce was really gaining recognition worldwide. We even did a television show, but that was a disaster because Sam fell over, and the guitar went out, meaning there were a few things we couldn't play. Actually, I've learnt that the reason why we receive so much hate and have been called StudioForce is because at that time in the band's career, the only available videos of the band live were the crappiest performances - like Graspop 2006. It's funny when I see such footage - I go "Oh my God, this is horrible", but how do you play without hearing the guitar?The band couldn't hear anything. And shows like live on TV - Sam tripped over, and the guitar went out of tune. We began to play, but the lead sounded out of tune. These were the only things people could see when they searched for "DragonForce live", or ""Through the Fire and Flames"". That did a lot of bad things to us, but we're still here at the moment.
LG: -- DragonForce followed up 'Inhuman Rampage' with August 2008's 'Ultra Beatdown', the group's latest album.
Herman: -- Yeah. Technically, 'Ultra Beatdown' is the band's most successful album. It went up the charts around the world, and we were in the top twenty and the top ten in certain countries. In the album charts - I don't mean the rock charts. We were even nominated for a 'best metal performance' grammy in '08. We've been touring ever since we did the Mayhem tour with Slipknot and Disturbed last July , and we're still touring it right now.
LG: -- Entering the touring schedule for 'Ultra Beatdown', would you say that DragonForce was much more prepared and everything, and had learnt lessons from touring 'Inhuman Rampage'?
Herman: -- People say this and that, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to one secret. I'll tell you. The secret for the success of 'Ultra Beatdown' is, above everything else, having a great crew to make the shows happen, who keep everything in tune, and everything set up well. Since touring 'Ultra Beatdown', we can even hear the monitors now, and that makes pretty much hundreds, hundreds of difference in terms of our playing. We can finally hear what we're playing wherever we go onstage.
LG: -- So basically, DragonForce will stop touring in December, will spend time at home for Christmas, and then will begin writing and recording a new album next year?
Herman: -- Yeah. We'll start writing next year.
....So yeah Kirby, they are going to make a new album this year, and since they have in-ear monitors, their successes have only been higher with every concert they have been doing. Makes me excited and makes me hope that Dragonforce will finally get the recognition it deserves.

It's pretty much 85% Ignorant skepticism coupled with bandwagoning with everyone else, 10% assume that all they make is fast music, and 5% don't like their kind of metal. I'm fine with the 5%, but the other 95% need to try the band out; they aren't giving them a chance.
I concur that they are popular (to me), however, they receive so much criticism that they are severely underrated and deserve more. Actually, half of that list of underrated bands shouldn't even be there! Metallica? Linkin Park? If they are underrated then Rap is the best music eva!
