    Past or present, bands that never really made it but you think should have been more successful than they are/were.

    My choice are King of the Slums. Clever musically and lyrically, they got lost in the Madchester scene in the late 80s.

    Still listen to their excellent album 'Barbarous English Fayre' which you can download for free these days.

    I wouldn't say the vaccines are underrated, they're very much on their way to the top, imo.

    Go ahead and buzz 'round the ears
    I've been growing that one braid back there for years
    I've had it since the first time I saw Queensryche
    The front may conform to society
    But the back says I have personality
    Even if it's really really,
    Even if it's really really bad.

    - I've Got an Ape Drape, The Vandals. Best song ever written about Mullets.

    If we're talking about bands that never had a hit (top 40) then it has to be The Gents.
