Easy. The Band.
Most underrated song of all time? The Band's 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down', obviously.
This makes me thing of Skynyrd. This convinces me that The South will rise again.

Yeah. There are no good songs about the boring old Union side. I’d definitely have been a keen Confederate. And not just because of the opportunities for whuppin’ slaves, drinking Mint Juleps and saying things like ‘Ah do declayuh..’ while wearing preposterous facial hair.
:nod: Absolutely. To be honest, though, have you ever been to the southern United States? It’s brutally, inhumanly hot and humid. If I found myself living there (which the good lord forbid) I would find myself tremendously keen on a system that involved black chaps having to do all the moving about and working instead of me. Of course, one would have to find the energy to flog the *******s once in a while, but you’d wait until the sun had gone down.
Yes, it has been my dubious pleasure to experience the humidity of Florida, and once the extreme heat of Nevada and Arizona. I suppose I'm really thinking of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, that sort of area, aren't I? Must get out there and take a peek sometime. I wonder if there's a Lynyrd Skynyrd memorial route one might follow.
That was my favourite part of Roots (just ahead of Kunta having his foot chopped after declining the alternative of being neutered).
Kunta trying to get his leg over only to be told 'Kunta, I'm the massah's bedding wench, any baby come outa me gotta be brown!'
:hehe:
Funnily enough, Skynyrd werent from Alabama. They were from Florida.
Similarly, I think only one member of the The Band was from the South.
We have had a lot of talk of the Confederacy today, including Herb quoting Nathan Bedford Forrest...most encouraging.
By the way, the most underrated band by you is The Stones.
Jacksonville, yes. For some reason I'm thinking of Steve Gaines being from Oklahoma... could be wrong.
Surely Robbie and Levon are Canadian?
Maybe I've just got a blind spot when it comes to the Stones; I'm 53 now, nothing's going to change until, following the blessed release of sweet, sweet death, my flesh is turned to corruption and I pass beyond this suffering. Then you'll see a change.
Wyld Stallyns imo
Surprised nobody has stepped forward here to suggest The Style Council.
A brilliant band with some superb singles for public consumption yet a band maligned and in some places hated for no reason other than they weren't The Jam
:hehe: :clap: v funny SW. They were a bit shíte really though.

I thought the general mood and euphoria after such a glorious European night would allow me to slip this in virtually un-noticed.
:-\
However I stand by my comments.
Speak Like A Child, Ever Changing Moods, Long Hot Summer, Shout to the Top, Walls Come Tumbling Down, Have You Ever Had It Blue. Each a classic and I defy you to not dance around your kitchen when they are playing.
So, in summary.
