The God Machine. They were a shoegaze band from the early 90s. Sadly, one of the three members died, so they never got big.
Sarah and the Safe Word have some absolute bangers
Seeming
Fishboy!
Ass Ponys. When you search for them on YouTube, be sure to search for "Ass ponys band." Otherwise you'll find a lot of softcore My Little Pony porn.
My favorite underrated band is Red Hot Rebellion.
My top three favorite songs of theirs are For the Benefit of Evil, You Bring The Thunder, I'll Bring The Lightning, and Crushing It.

After Midnight Project.
Only one album :(
Petrol Bastard.
They call themselves 'Tesco Value Prodigy', yet when I see them put out tracks like these, I'm surprised they don't have much of a following.

I'm not sure how to look up ratings of bands. There are some I love but did not seem to be well known enough for comparing ratings.
I'm going to mention Filthy Children as an example.
My kids taught me to look at subscriber counts on a streaming service to measure popularity, I go to a lot of live shows and kept getting surprised at which bands were popular or unknown, don't have a good handle on it. So that's generally what I do now.
Dyssidia is pretty good, and barely anyone has heard of them.
Ramsay Midwood
J Roddy Walton and the Business
The Smokey Brights. They have consistently good bangers throughout the years. Some of their music was featured in the indie computer game Pacific Drive, and it was fantastic. Save Us Sarah, Fancy Ketchup, and Ocean Shores are some of my favorites. Sad Boy Song #39 too.
Kruelty is pretty fantastic and so far i haven't met anyone who knows them
Sisters Euclid. They were a Canadian band who recently called it a career after like 27 years of mostly-under-the-radar instrumental jangle jazz, or something to that effect. They did win a Juno for an album of Neil Young instrumentals and reinterpretations called “Run Neil Run”, but outside of the Toronto are and southwest Ontario I don’t think they were widely known. Members of the band have played in all sorts of other bands and with other folks, many of which y’all would recognize like Norah Jones and the Doobie Brothers, they all really accomplished musicians. I saw them live dozens of times before they called it a day, and I always saw and heard something new with every performance. Seeing them live was definitely the best way to take them in, as their studio albums seemed like they were just scaffolding for the live shows.
Hoping for a reunion show in 5-10 years. I’d travel for it.

Halocene. They got noticed for their covers of a variety of songs but they've also got their own music as well. Here's a couple of my favourites.
They're currently touring as well through Europe and back around the US later this year.
Blackberry Smoke is nowhere near as big as they should be.
