The Kinks - Most Underrated Band

[BiffMan]

Agreed on the Kinks... Always been quite partial to "Father Christmas"

I'd also toss in Oingo Boingo as a very good, seldom mentioned band.

Oingo Boingo is a great choice. Danny Elfman is enormously talented, and that was a hell of a great band.

"Only a Lad" is still one of the most fun songs I've ever heard, and always makes me crack a grin. I can't think of it without smiling. Wild Sex in the Working Class, Dead Man's Party, etc. ... lots of good stuff. Tons of energy and originality, and those boys could PLAY.

Any band that quotes "Island of Lost Souls" (or was it Isle?) has got its head in the right place.

Dead Man's Party is one I can pop in and listen to in pretty much any mood. Quite a lot of variety in that song. Very cool that Danny managed to make the transition to other things since that's one remarkably talented dude.
