Saw them at Glastonbury two years since and they were surprisingly good.

Rumour has it they've reconciled their diffences. I hope so, because I saw the Pursey led group and they were dire.

I saw them first time around, they were dire then but so were many of the second wave of punk acts, UK Subs, Penetration and The Ruts were the only ones of note live.

Underrated for me?

The Aquabats
Balaam and the Angel
Hanoi Rocks

Was going to say Dr Feelgood but I think they've had a lot more recognition of late, a lot sadly because of Wilko's diagnosis.

So I'm going to go for ( and a few of these have already been mentioned) Nine Below Zero, Squeeze, Beta Band, British Sea Power, XTC, Pete Wylie (and all his Wah incarnations), Go Betweens, Josef K, The Bees and The Coral.

For me it has to be Tyketto, Valentine, Damn Yankees, little Angels, Baby Tuckoo and Excalibur
