Max Fischer Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Uncle Tupelo. Groundbreaking trio launched the alt-country/punk country sound that has influenced wide range of bands today. I’ll go further to say they were easily one of the best bands in music history. Severely underrated. Edited August 19, 2018 by Max Fischer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yeah... Stars is one of those nostalgic songs for me. Just transports me back to my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Staind had some decent songs especially when they first came out, but their stuff was kind of hit or miss for me. - I also liked some of the stuff Stabbing Westward did (if you like that Nine inch Nails, Tool type of sound). They have some great lyrics - I would also list Incubus but I don’t know if they really qualify as underrated.

Great call! This song is like a prophecy. It is more true than ever. Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless seaThey will leave you drifting in the shallows Drowning in the oceans of history Travellin' the world, you're in search of no good But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like I knew you would Using all the good people for your galley slaves As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow That is some fantastic lyrics!

Severely underrated. But you left out the important information that Jeff Tweedy was the frontman of that band (for you Wilco fans). March 16-20, 1992 is a GREAT album. Produced by Peter Buck for FREE (R.E.M). The closest you will ever get to U-T's sound is Wilco's first album, A.M. Edited August 21, 2018 by Seasons1992 Needed to add some knowledge.

I left out naming Tweedy and Farrar to concentrate on the band not the aftermath. But now that the door is open, to me, A.M”. is Tweedy’s farewell to Uncle Tupelo with all the songs bottled up while with UT. It’s personal preference but I think A.M. is superior to Farrar/Son Volt’s “Trace,” which got better reviews at the time. Since then, A.M. has held up as a classic, not one weak link on the record and each a crowd favorite. However, Tweedy’s legacy is the ability to put out a distinct sound on each subsequent album. Of the band’s 70-80 songs I can only think of one or two (see: “Capitol City”) that aren’t up to set list quality. It’s hard to underrate a band that’s churns out great albums over 23 years but Wilco probably still be on my all-time underrated band list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So England had the Stones, Beatles, Sabbath, Zepp, etc. It begs the question- who is the greatest American band ever? I ask friends all the time. It's an interesting question. A good sneaky choice is Wilco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
