Good album, I found that I really have to be in the right mood to listen to Rusted Root, they aren't one of those bands I can throw on for any occasion...
Here are some of mine:

btw...no U2.
Pop is too easy, eh?
I would have to say:
Happy Days by Catherine Wheel (1995) - a change in sound, they ditched the shoe-gaze and went more straight forward rock, one of my favourite albums of theirs and extremely underrated imo...
Visual Audio Sensory Theatre by VAST (1998) - it amazes me that this guy isn't bigger than he is. Incredible album among several that he has released, it's a crime that he is overlooked when many other lesser bands break into the mainstream. Not that I'm complaining when I can go and see him in a 500 seat club...

If I have to choose one:
Outside by David Bowie
In my opinion, it is Bowie's best.
Honorable Mention:
Earthling by David Bowie
Along with Outside, this time period represents Bowie's best in my opinion.
Voice of Love by Julee Cruise
Most people haven't heard this album so...
Von by Sigur Ros
In my opinion, far and away their best.
Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1. by George Michael
A truly beautiful album.

I like it, but I'd still say the opposite about it.
For those who don't recognize it, above is DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...

I wouldn't call DJ Shadow or Built to Spill underappreciated, at least not within indie circles. Don't both of those make frequent appearances on Best of the 90's lists?
Harry Vest
Refugee
I second that. Horribly underappreciated band.

No way. Both albums are classics, but they have received more than their due praise over the years.
For me, I'll go with...

It really does have some beautiful songs!
Cowboys and Angels Jar Of Flies, mentioned earlier.. that's a good one!

Thank you. Glad to hear someone else remembers how good these guys were. Maybe if we keep spreading the word, they won't be underappreciated much longer.

I'm a fan as well. And although I know many Buffalo Tom fans think it was too mainstream, I really loved the follow up Big Red Letter Day.
And there's also the non-album track they did for the No Alternative compilation, which is seriously one of their best:
YouTube - Buffalo Tom - For All To See
Hey Laz
Thanks for that blast from the past. Don't want to turn this into a Buffalo Tom thread, but I think Let Me Come Over, Big Red Letter Day and Sleepy Eyed were a fantastic trilogy regardless of the latter two possibly being shots in the dark at more mainstream acceptance. Their whole catalogue is full of coulda-been hits.
I think both you and Laz still didn't read the actual thread title. Yes, lots of people were talking about them and still listening to these albums 8 years ago. They're not now. Hence why I think they're the "most currently unappreciated". If the thread was "shit from the '90's no one else liked but you", I'd have given answers like the rest of you.

How about these:
The latter is probably more underappreciated, but these guys never get enough credit.

Here's a peace offering:
It's true though. Emergency & I was and is criminally overlooked.Here's a peace offering:
YES

Kerosene Hat was kind of a big album because of hits like "Low", "Get Off This" and "Euro-Trash Girl", but the follow-up kind of got lost and that's a shame because I think it's an even better album.
Morrissey - Southpaw Grammar
This initially fell flat as a follow-up to the brilliant Vauxhall And I, but it's become somewhat of a fan favorite in recent years and it contains a couple of the most memorable album openers and closers I've heard.

U2 should be banned from B&C just like it is in IO.
