Most underrated rock/pop group or star????

[ChrisW]

It's got to be Free..

All Right Now is a bit dreary and cliched, but songs like "Love You So" or "Get Where i Belong" are fantastic tuneful, soulful, bluesy pop songs.

Free are said to be the session players favourite....a true music lovers group.

 

[LordoftheTeapot]

"...All right now, baby, it's all right now..."

I think it was there's

 

[ChrisW]

Lord (do we address you as that, or is it just plain Mr Teapot?),

Yes it was one of theirs, but the problem is that it is probabaly one of their worst songs yet it's the one that everyone knows..hence the underrating.

 

[LordoftheTeapot]

I'm only called 'Lord' when 'on duty' Please call me Dennis

...ah...but less is more as they say

 

[ChrisW]

Aha!!! Point proven etc etc

It is because the common man believes taht to be the only song that they miss all the brilliant stuff, hence, underrated.

The Who, great band, but loved by most...so not applicable.

 

[Elmer Fudd]

Bucks Fizz

 

[asterix]

but all right now is their only song.

Rubbish! That's not strictly true. What about 'Wishing Well'?

I don't think Free were under-rated in their day. I may even have seen them live..

 

[Slim]

Los Lobos.

Like most of the other nominees they are mostly known for their one real hit (La Bamba) but the rest of their stuff was excellent R&B/TexMex. Thinking about it, they may be the only foreign band I've been twice to see live.

Father Abraham and the smurfs?
