While we know how much you Mojoholics love bands like Rise Against and Muse, we will be excluding them based on their large and devoted fan bases and critical and commercial success.

Wait a second, Deep Purple? What the fuck? How are they underrated? They are literally one the most successful rock bands all time. Think about it, the first song one learns on guitar is by them.

+7101998GreenDay Man, these top ten vids are bullshit! How is Deep Purple underrated? They're rock icons in an elite class that any jack ass would know. I'll never watch another one of these top ten vids again. Next they'll do top ten most underrated British bands....."And our #4 most underrated British band- The Beatles."
@dplzgb101 8 жыл бұрын
+7101998GreenDay I agree with you but maybe mojo's point is that in the US they are not given the respect that other bands like LZ and BS are given. For most clueless people here DP was a one hit wonder and never heard of In Rock, Fireball, Made In Japan, Burn, etc. Even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame called them a one hit wonder. Go figure.
@jaxflfreebird 8 жыл бұрын
+Matthew Di Flumeri I'm not a Deep Purple fan but I'd have to say that all of Machine Head is a "one hit wonder". As a live band I may have two of their recordings. Some of their jams are just awful, imo, but the album Machine Head is a complete and essential classic rock album. This said they were much less talented than Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath simply due to the songwriting. Then too I haven't really explored the band because I haven't liked music beyond Machine Head. I had one greatest hits collection of theirs once which had some other songs that I liked a bit at the time but really Deep Purple doesn't do it for me. Zep and Sabbath do a whole lot more for me.
@markdignam3525 8 жыл бұрын
+jaxflfreebird Folks, Deep Purple made 21 albums - a bit rich saying that they were a one hit wonder. Further, I can't believe that The Kinks and ZZ Top are seen as under-rated. Sheesh. Maybe The Kinks are not as well known in 2015 as they were in the 60s and 70s, but they were absolute pioneers of rock riffing and songwriting.
@thetruthhurts6652 8 жыл бұрын
+jaxflfreebird Do you know what you are talking about? From 1968 to 76 Deep Purple were chart toppers, Hush, In Rock, Fireball, Machine head, Made in Japan, Burn and Who Do We Think We Are and their Perfect Strangers comeback in the 80's were huge. To say DP is not as talented as BS and LZ is simply uninformed. Blackmore, Paice, Lord and Glover were all better musicians than their counter parts.

The Kinks were underrated because there was a time period in America where they were banned from preforming there so their popularity in the USA did not grow as much as it could have. Deep Purple really only song that is well known, but even then people may not be able to name the band when Smoke on the Water comes on. ZZ Top is also not that well known except for the fact that they have crazy beards. Don't get me wrong, I like all these bands but just because you have heard of them doesnt mean everyone else has.
@sammyyo8410 8 жыл бұрын

@BlunderCity 5 жыл бұрын
But are they still huge successes today and has their music stood the test of time? It's about bands that are underrated today, not in their heyday. I think out of these 4 bands, only Deep Purple has a massive following. Also, one has to take the scale of their body of work into account and that's why the Kinks are at number one. Their discography is absolutely massive. That's why I'm surprise Yes wasn't on the list.

They still do well, their last three albums sold really well, reaching number one in numerous countries, with their most recent getting to number 3 here in the UK, not bad for a 52 year old band.

Very true. First saw them on the Thick as a Brick tour in May of 72, then again in November of that year, and many many times since. Not sure if people know or care just how popular they were. Selling out the LA Forum 5 consecutive nights. Literally as big as anyone including Zeppelin, the Stones and Elton John for about 3 years there, between 72 and 75. And bigger than Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead and Black Sabbath. It's all there in the world wide box office numbers. And winning that grammy which they probably could have taken a pass on. But that that is what they seem to be remembered for. People seemed to decide it was a heavy metal award when the title was hard rock/heavy metal. No one who has seen Jethro Tull, particularly in the early 70's but still the case in 87 when that grammy award is from would doubt that one of the colors in their incredibly wide pallet was hard rock. I daresay Cross Eyed Mary makes the grade. Or Farm on the Freeway or Jump Start off the grammy album.

I could go on and on about all of there good songs but that would take to long, go give them a listen. Also they just released a new album this year, out of all of them if you’re into hard rock definitely listen to ‘the alchemist’ if you’re into more soft listen to ‘box in my head.

Better list: #10: The Sweet #9: Barenaked Ladies #8: Tears For Fears #7: Boston #6: Little River Band #5: INXS #4: The Doobie Brothers #3: America #2: Chicago #1: Toto Yes, I’m aware that most of these bands achieved incredible fame, but some of them have also been underrated, Chicago and Toto especially. Toto has contributed a lot more to pop music than just “Africa”, and Chicago’s guitarist was a favorite of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.

you made my day. finally someone who has some real knowledge of great, yet very undersppreciated, music... my list has some differences though: 10.Queensryche 9. The Black Crowes 8. Uriah Heap 7. Three Dog Night 6, Little River Band 5. Thin Lizzy 4 The Animals 3. The Doobie Brothers 2. Toto 1. Steely Dan And for a bonus, my top pick for the most underrated/underappreciated band in music today: Halestorm. They deserve SO much more success & fame than they currently are afforded. Lzzy Hale is such an amazing vocalist. She is so underrated imo. (Of course, it doesn't help that rock music is dying a slow death, thanks to record labels churning out & pushing the same simple music formulas in every song, due to shorter attention spans and lack of patience in the ones who make up most of today's music market; millenials. Not that I blame them, they can't be faulted for lack of exposure to truly artistic music. I blame the record labels - they shove the same revamped bullshit down your throat, to where you hear a song in every store, on every radio station, in commercials, movies... you can't escape it even if you wanted to. They oversaturate a song so much these kids are almost forced into liking the garbage that passes as music today, simply because of mere familiarity. and sadly, it might just be the death of real rock music.

Sellout Alley is a pretty young band but def underrated too. I love these guys and went to a concert during a stay in Germany. You guys need to listen to their music. They rock!
