Tripping Daisy - remember "I've Got A Girl"? catchy, but probably one of the worst tracks off "Elastic Firecracker". similar to Jane's Addiction, but actually good.

A bunch of great UK bands never got much recognition in the US...Pulp, Suede, My Bloody Valentine, Blur and The Verve (other than Song 2 and Bittersweet Symphony).

TOADIES.
"Tyler" is simply one of the best songs I've ever heard.

glad to hear so many mentions of Toadies. Some others:
Hum - maybe you remember "Stars" from "You'd Prefer An Astronaut", but their following album "Heavenward is Downward" is one of the best albums from the late 90's. can't believe it sold less than 15,000 copies
Tripping Daisy - remember "I've Got A Girl"? catchy, but probably one of the worst tracks off "Elastic Firecracker". similar to Jane's Addiction, but actually good.
Shudder To Think - "X-French Tee Shirt" was their only (minor) hit. quirky band, kinda reminds me of:
Faith No More - amazing
Dandelion - "Weird Out" was a sweet song. trippy nirvana-esque
90's Incubus should've gotten more attention (S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Enjoy Incubus were damn good). stupid, but not surprising, that "Wish You Were Here" and "Warning" were some of their biggest hits, when "Certain Shade of Green" and "Glass" go unnoticed.

From what I remember, that second Hum album was pretty good indeed. Only heard it at a friend's house, and never got around to picking up a copy. I do have the first one, though.

Regarding the Live comments, they are one of my favorite bands, and I have been following them for quite some time. Don't confuse "spirituality" with "Christianity". There are plenty of non-Christians who disagree with the wars we are currently fighting.
As for the most underratted band of the '90's...How about Ice-T and Body Count. Not that I was a huge fan, or even "a fan", but they kickstarted the whole Rap/Rock trend about 8 years ahead of time.

Some great bands listed. I'm surprised people put Snot and Machine Head. I like both of them.
God Lives Underwater - Another good band that just didn't get enough credit.

Yeah forget about Run DMC / Aerosmith, Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine and countless others.

I've got one GLU album (Life in the So-Called Space Age) and I dig it. Never come across any of their others, otherwise I would have picked them up.

Ok, well listen to Walk This Way, or any Beastie Boys album and tell me if they even fit into the same type of genre as Body Count. I'm not discounted the others you mentioned, but we were talking about underrated, right? They are all great artists.
Now, maybe for another underrated band, how about Barenaked Ladies. I don't think they get the credit they deserve for being a great, tight band. Anybody else ever see them live?

I guess I'm into repeating other posters:
1. Jeff Buckley - did anyone ever see Duncan Sheik on that VH1 best list show? He listed a Buckley tune as the 2nd best song of the 90's. (Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees was his #1, I think). He won major points with me with that list. See previous comments about Jeff burning himself out, else he would be the definitive vocalist of the generation, and widely respected as one of the best guitarists and a pretty damn good songwriter too.

Body Count sucked. Only reason most people have heard of them was because of Cop Killer. Seriously, it was not a good band and not a good record.
