I could go on but all the above hugely underrated mainly because of other so called better bands of their time.

Such a subjective thread... The three for me that immediately come to mind are Efterklang, Versus and Autolux.
Efterklang have had critical acclaim at times throughout their career, however the live shows I saw when they were at their peak were awe inspiring. They've also done some brilliant film projects with Vincent Moon.

Versus - perfectly crafted early 90's noise pop from NYC with the marvellously named Fontaine Toups on bass and vocals.

Autolux - such a unique sound and hugely creative band from LA.

Saw Mike Peters this week - those Alarm tunes are still epic!

Del Amitri!
Why they were never bigger than they were in their heyday is beyond me. Unfortunately, radio and TV seemed to latch onto the likes of Manics, 'Phonics, Blur and Oasis at the time. IMHO Del Amitri were a better band than the rest combined. Good songwriting, clever lyrics, thoughtful subject matter and catchy hooks and much better live than on record.
Saddest thing is how everyone knows their songs (and can sing along when they come on the radio) but nobody really paid them much attention at the time.
Funnily enough it was Del Amitri that first introduced me to how awful the music industry can be. Russ Williams was/is a huge DA fan and was working for Virgin Radio during the late 90s/early 2000s. I phoned him up one day and asked why he wasn't playing Del Amitri's new single. He basically said that the station management didn't like it and refused to air it.

Bit of trading feedback here.
Twenty Twenty Sound is a great record.
Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
