I had never heard much Tripping Daisy until I got into Polyphonic Spree. Pretty darn good stuff.
I can't believe you forgot The Stone Roses...the greatest band that never was
I'd have to add Adorable as well

Hell yes. I loved all of rubberneck, but everyone else didn't even know the correct name to their one hit single and I couldn't figure out why I was the only one that loved them.
I thought they were gone for good, couple years ago they put out hell below stars above and then the band broke up shortly afterwards. Amazing album, perfect follow up. Took the same style, perfected it and ran with it. I really would have liked to see them live.

From what I remember, that second Hum album was pretty good indeed. Only heard it at a friend's house, and never got around to picking up a copy. I do have the first one, though.
And for the record, Live sucked. The Toadies were cool, but I never heard their second album.
Some great bands listed. I'm surprised people put Snot and Machine Head. I like both of them.
Hum was another great band in the '90's. I saw them open for Toadies and Bush..they blew those other bands away.
FAR is one of the most underrated bands from the 90's. Their music was awesome but they didn't sell squat.
Failure - Wonderful band. It's a shame they broke up.
God Lives Underwater - Another good band that just didn't get enough credit.
Corrosion of Conformity - I'm really glad these guys got back together! Awesome new album
Quicksand -Good band from the 90's.
Self - My fav local band
Had a song on the Shrek soundtrack. Unfortunately Dreamworks sold their music division and they were cut from the roster.

Don't confuse "spirituality" with "Christianity". There are plenty of non-Christians who disagree with the wars we are currently fighting.
As for the most underratted band of the '90's...How about Ice-T and Body Count. Not that I was a huge fan, or even "a fan", but they kickstarted the whole Rap/Rock trend about 8 years ahead of time.

It seems to me (and some music journalists on allmusic) that King's X should have been bigger than they were/are. And since I do listen to Christian music, I'll add Circle of Dust as a band/guy that was easily good enough in the 90's for mainstream attention. Actually, one of his tunes did get onto an MTV extreme sports show or something back then.
For the Chirstianphobes, you should know that Circle of Dust's Scott Albert changed his name to Klayton, gave up doing Christian music and released an album under the name Celldweller a couple years ago.

Yeah forget about Run DMC / Aerosmith, Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine and countless others.
They have an EP, a Self Titled Album, Life in the So-Called Space Age, and a new album called Up off the Floor. They didn't actually get back together. Those songs were recorded after LITSCSA, but never released.
Life in the So called...is a bit different from the EP and S/T. They S/T is heavier guitars and more towards industrial sized of hard rock than pop. They are all great albums though.
Ok, well listen to Walk This Way, or any Beastie Boys album and tell me if they even fit into the same type of genre as Body Count. I'm not discounted the others you mentioned, but we were talking about underrated, right? They are all great artists.
Now, maybe for another underrated band, how about Barenaked Ladies. I don't think they get the credit they deserve for being a great, tight band. Anybody else ever see them live?
My comments were NOT on the fact they are/aren't underrated. My comments were on the fact they "kickstarted the whole Rap/Rock trend about 8 years ahead of time." Which is obviously not true. Not in the least.
Heck even Anthrax did it with Public Enemy 1 year before BodyCount was around.
To say that Ice-T & Body Count kickstarted the rap/rock trainwreck is incorrect. If you had said that Ice-T/Body Count sounded like Run-DMC/Aerosmith then you would be correct.
Run-DMC's cover of Walk This Way (w/ Aerosmith) was on their Raising Hell album (1986)
Body Count's debut album was in 1992.

I heard about him on an episode of Edgewise with John Hockenberry that aired right after he died and was mesmerized. I've never heard any other voice as beautiful.
Fair enough. Rap/Rock was never really my thing. Although I never said started. Kickstarting to me pushes a trend faster, not exactly meaning they did the groundbreaking. So, I apologize for the misinterpreted comment...

I don't think Eve's Plum got the recognition they should have. Their first album kinda fell apart half-way through (kinda like Poe's debut) but the second album was great (also like Poe, but that album wasn't until '01). Of course after they broke up the singer came back as Vitamin C.
Bleh, can't stand those guys either. I think it's mostly the vocals, though.
Body Count sucked. Only reason most people have heard of them was because of Cop Killer. Seriously, it was not a good band and not a good record.
