Interesting nominations. They Might Be Giants, I've liked them since the 80's! The The had a song in some Docker's khaki commercial that was really good. And some names I've never heard, so they must be underrated. 
AC/DC is one of the most popular bands around here, and I'd imagine in most of the U.S. I guess the point is that they could have sold more records, but I don't think for second they are underrated by any means.
My nomination(and the reason why I'm digging this thread up) is Train. When their songs were on the radio, I found them dull and boring. Actually, that was just until Sunday night. Did anyone see them on the "Sound Stage" on PBS? They were amazing, and very talented. I was pretty impressed, so I borrowed their CD from a coworker of mine, but it still sucked.
I guess I just don't like their recordings. I'm going to check out the used CD store tonight to see if I can score their "live" CD. From what I've sampled on iTunes, I'm liking it.

Sigur Ros-They're becoming it bit more well known now, but they still don't get the credit they deserve.

ya, cypress is under-rated. Good thing that the producers of the Simpsons did a lot of searching and, by putting them on an episode, brought them to the world.

Earthless - Kind of hard to out jam this band. Just listening to the music a trip, its just really freakin' good. Makes you feel damn good as well.
Black Cobra - I don't think there will ever be two humans that shatter the rafters like these guys. They can put on a show.
Red Fang - Kind of hard not to like these guys... The raw simplistic riffs along with well executed lyrics. Mix in a few 12 packs and you have the makings for a fun time.
Pentagram - First US born metal band, and never an inch of recognition outside a select cult following. Along with quite possibly the best song writer of all time.
Mark Langegan - People sure love Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell etc... Do any of them really hold a candle of Mark? I really don't think so. His solo stuff is so mindbogglingly good. Period. Maybe its because he didn't kill himself.
Eyehategod - No one out riffed EHG in the late 80's into the 90's. No one.

Rush is not underrated. They have lots of fans and a lot of people know of them.
My nomination would be Wavves:
The only mainstream notability they ever get is the occasional MTV drama. But they deserve a lot more. They're debut album was recorded using the mic from a Mac Book. But they're followup is a much better effort, and a great album all around. They kinda have that stoner surf rock sound about them.

Roll Kiley (Jenny Lewis) - The album "More Adventurous" is excellent. Not always my style, but it's folksy rock with an occassional "was that a few country chords?" thrown in? Or maybe they weren't...
I know, I know, the description sounds horrific. Does it help if Jenny Lewis is absolutely scorching, sings lead, plays guitar, bass and keys?
