most underrated band from the sunset strip?

[mdmatt4ever]

he's the criteria. the band has to have at least 2 albums. it doesn't matter if the albums were released 15 years apart. they album can't have album sales of more than 2 million in the united states. also the band doesn't really have to be from the strip but it would be nice if they were close.
here are some choices but there are others:
jetboy
love/hate
kingofthehill
tuff
pretty boy floyd



my choice is love/hate

The main man Kenny McGee was in a band called 'Lefty' with Johnny Lee Middleton. JLM obviously left for Savatage and KM formed Julliet.

 

[rokk]

I know its not on your list but I'd vote for Wildside! On your list I'd have to go with Jetboy.

 

[poundingmetal74]

Wildside & Cut Throat.

Any idea where Banshee was from? If I remember correctly they were from Kansas.

 

[mdmatt4ever]

[Bone Daddy]

I believe Junkyard were based in LA for a while, then moved to Austin.

EZO are from Japan.

ODIN...

I think the only guy from Odin that made it was Jeff Duncan when he joined Armored Saint in the late 80's after Dave Prichard passed, and took guitar duties with Phil Sandoval who came back after a couple of year departure from the Saint, and Jeff is still a memeber of Armored Saint

You're right. I think they would have been huge if Guns N Roses hadn't stole the spotlight... They were harder edge rock... I wonder if the singer off'd himself like he claimed on The Metal Years? You can also add Seduce and London to the list of great underrated bands...

 

[poundingmetal74]

Seduce was from Detroit.

 

[sixxswine]

Seduce was from Detroit.

Yeah, but moved to L.A. to become stars...
Poison was from the Pittsburg area...
Ratt was from San Diego...
Black N Blue was from Portland...
so you see none of these bands were from L.A. originally...

 

[poundingmetal74]

Yeah, but Seduce built a following and released most of their material in Michigan. Living in LA for 2-3 years doesn't really count.

Ratt and Poison were gained their followings in LA for several years and then made it big.

I'll leave it up to you to split hairs, I'm just pointing out that a good percentage of those bands weren't really from L.A.
