Okay, now that I have put the idea into my head I am compelled to list the ten most underrated musical acts, even though I am extremely wary of tripping blithely down the primrose path towards some sort of High Fidelity stereotype doom (I have not seen the movie nor read the book, but I understand that it may be about lame music geeks such as myself who are all too prone to composing lists).

1. Norman Greenbaum
2. Wreckless Eric
3. Sparks
4. The Fleetwoods
5. Gordon Lightfoot
6. Devo
7. Ui
8. Buffy Sainte-Marie
9. Altered Images
10. Lt. Garcia's Magic Music Box
