I don't mean critically. My personal top 4 are my all-time favorite punk band The Cramps ^, D.C.'s Bad Brains, Minnesota's Husker Du, and Milwaukee's Violent Femmes.

Probably got like 50 bands I could list. I’ll get to some of them.

Some suggestions I got from Yardbarker are Anvil, April Wine, Black 47, Blue Cheer, Boogie Down Productions, Cinderella, Exodus, Little Feat, Living Colour (Cult of Personality is my favorite MTV video), Melvins, Naked Raygun, Screaming Trees, Social Distortion, Ten Years After (Alvin Lee is a great guitarist), UFO, and Wishbone Ash. Does @Hockey Outsider appreciate Wishbone Ash? Does @Dr Pepper like Anvil and April Wine? We'll see what they say. I hope @GKJ posts.
@Mescaleroman I'm a big fan of The Replacements.... the Replacements ...
Re: Can: I suppose, but I think they should be even more appreciated. Like at the level of The Beatles, The Kinks, or The Beach Boys.Just going down my list of favorite things, the names I hear mentioned least often are probably Can, Neu!, Faust, Augustus Pablo, John Hassell, Gas, Glen Branca, and Tony Conrad, but they're all critically appreciated.
Agreed. I definitely appreciate Can far more than The Beatles, The Kinks, or The Beach Boys. Honestly, I'd make that argument about a ton of things that it still feels absurd to call underappreciated, though.Re: Can: I suppose, but I think they should be even more appreciated.
