Northern Uproar - Most Under-rated Band Ever?

This is a difficult one for me because I love Menswear and I am also partial to a bit of U2 and Guns n Roses (neither gets the credibility they deserve).

you like U2, no way DG man, get back on the beer, is this what your current abstinence is doing? wow thats awful!
is it true that menswear played with v/vm in japan. ha, intentional crimes against pop music vs unintentional crimes against pop music?

Calum Robert is being a wanker, in his usual manner, and so not surprisingly I didn't start this thread.

― The Real DG, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who you calling a wanker fug breath?

And stop trying to blame me for your bizzaro music tastes.

DG is being a wanker and blaiming me for stupid threads.

I see your parents forgot to activate the Net Nanny, Calum.

― DG, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No - they were shit.

― Zanny Gognet, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You're all boring.

― Calum Robert, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But Calum is exciting! And has sex! And a sense of humour! All the other people are weird and bad!

Calum took the only girlfriend available and we are all JEALOUS!!

Underrated bands = bands you love
Overrated bands = bands you hate

Siegbran is a man full of wisdom.

Calum: What do you think of Iannis Xenakis? I think his electroacoustic works like ''La Légende d'Eer'' rock like a motherfucker!

― Julio Desouza, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

XENAKIS == GOD!!!

― Calum Roberts evil greek twin, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Bach swings, man"

Xenakis does not rock in any way whatsoever, but he is amazing.

― Clarke B., Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Xenakis rocks! And he's amazing!

― Julio Desouza, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Please!! At this rate we'll be starting a discussion on the merits of fucking Northside next. Shall we take a trip?

― tacit, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Northside is better than the Beatles!

Dodgy and Ocean Colour Scene are way more correct answers than Northern Uproar or Menswear.

Underrated bands = bands you love

I love The Beatles, but they aren't underrated. Not overrated either though - they belong up there.

I bought a single once, I don't remember much about it. Was going to say, they were probably underrated.

Very sad, feel for his family and friends. He obviously enjoyed what he did, so what does it matter what the 'press' or random ILXors thought? The only thing that really matters is what the people in front of the band watching, thought.

RIP

only 36 too. they must have been tiny sprogs when they were at their 'height'. very sad.

Never heard this band, I think, but someone posted this on Facebook, A Night In Memory Of Jeff Fletcher.
