Best underated Brit group of the last 20 years

[azraphale]

The Levellers, especially their earlier stuff

 

[Beebo]

The Lover Speaks

They were a duo around in the mid 80s but somehow never took off. This is their original version of "No more I love yous" I think it is far better than the Annie Lennox version. Their album is in my loft and had some strong tracks on it. Perhaps just an odd name?

Wow.
I love the Annie Lennox version, I didnt even know it was a cover!
The Lennox version is more haunting, but now I have heard this I see that it takes so much influence from the much rockier original.

The Rhythm Thieves

British country music duo My Darling Clementine, they're probably a bit too new to get classed as underrated but they're good enough to rule the world.

 

[TissoT]

"Hurts" .... new group that could fall into this category

Grand Drive. Discovered them be accident: I'd intended to buy something from Giant Sand and managed to pull the wrong CD off the shelf. I think they finally gave up after making 5 or 6 albums.

Aren't Muse one of the most successful bands in the world?

 

[Chromatic]

Death In Vegas

 

[TVC]

Half Man Half Biscuit.

They have been going more than 20 years, but the standard of their work remains very high. Always suffered because at the BBC nobody but John Peel would play them.

 

[Twotter]

I'll ignore the 20 year restriction and give an honourable mention to my favourite Brummie rock band, Magnum

 

[MontyVeda]

Aren't Muse one of the most successful bands in the world?

yes, but they're probably considered underrated because a lot of people think they're overrated.
