Bands which you feel were criminally underrated: 1. Ride - Incredible melodies and propulsive power, and the most optimistic lyrics you’ll probably ever hear. 1000 Miles. 2. Ookla the Mok --Great filk band, terrific melodies and hilarious lyrics. 3. Blue Öyster Cult - yes, they’re known, but still so very underrated 4. Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - seen as just a comedy act instead of the real musical talent they were. 5. Acceptance - great music, poetic lyrics; maybe their name was too nice. 6. The Mockers - good original rock, made it big in Europe, but overlooked in US. Plus I know the drummer. Dated him once. 7. [Splashdown](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashdown_%28band%29) - Electronica/Trip Hop with kick-ass female vocalist, Melissa Kaplan. 8. Timbuk 3 - Made a lot of good songs but are only remembered for their one big hit. 9. Kitchens of Distinction - British band, blatant lyrics, Patrick Fitzgerald was openly gay and in your face 10. Nespithe - death metal band 11. Echo and the Bunnymen 12. [The Dead Milkmen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dead_Milkmen) 13. Teenage Bandwagon Next up: Promising NFL Players in 2012 1. Peyton Manning ---
