Love Primus me. Not sure if their music is underrated though, I got the feeling quite many know who they are and they got a lot of views on youtube.

BUT I think their musicianship can be underrated, many think of Claypool (and rightly so since he's the most prominent) but the band as a whole is incredibly gifted and has to match Claypool's abilities.

Agreed. That's why I made the Rush comparison.

Mott The Hoople

In Northern Ireland I saw a band called Bronco in a shibeen called the Pound, opposite Oxford St bus station. They later rebranded themselves as Skeboo. My neighbour played for them. Best song was a cover of Wavelength by Van Morrison.

Agree on both.

As an aside, I played football with a Raith fan, down here in Bristol.

We get around

We (football team) were up in Edinburgh years ago, and Raith were playing away at their Fife rivals, so he dragged us to the match. One of the opposition players had played for Bristol Rovers, so naturally we started on him, and he looked aghast that he was getting called out by Bristolians in the Raith End!

I never thought I Am Kloot got the success they should have done, although they didn't really go out of their way to attain it. Great band, though.
