ManOwaR! They're from New York and 90% of their fan base is in Europe. Considering how intense their music is: how face melting the solos are, how insane the bass guitarist shreds, the insane drumming power of the percussionist, and how outrageously well the singer can sing in a true heavy metal/operatic style... it really says something about American culture.
We are capable of being the best in the world... most of us are just too lazy.

Y&T and ManOwaR came to my mind right away when I saw this thread's title.
Lookin over everybody's post, yeaaap all those bands listed I can about agreed with.
In your opinion, who are the most underrated Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands? Are there any bands you feel should have been huge but never got much attention?
For me, I would have to list King's X, Queensryche, and Sevendust. I realize all three acts obtained a certain level of success, but I still don't think they get the recognition or respect they deserve.
Judas Priest by far is one that comes to mind. Caught in between Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and the 80's hair band Metal. They were not giving the respect they deserved IMO.
Absolutely underrated cause everybody says only their first two albums are good - but in my opinion that's not true.
DRIFT and MY GOD are also brilliant and I hope their new record THE COLD will be a masterpiece again!
