Does anyone else think that Faith No More was underrated?

[LostInAnomie]

I thought they were pretty cool, but hardly anyone else I know even remembers them.

[Trajan]

1. I loved their stuff ....

I think they were the first Rapping Rockers ....

They still get some airplay on alternative radio ...

2. One of my favorite 80's videos

with the solo piano player and the fish flopping around at the end, right? Am I thinking of the right group?

[LostInAnomie]

5. You are correct.

That was a cool video.

6. The song was "Epic"

That was early 90s I think.

[Blue_In_AK]

7. I think you may be right, but VERY early '90s. n/t

[ghostsofgiants]

8. The album came out in the middle of '89

So I guess technically it's 80s.

14. I mark music by what's going on in my life...

...and vice versa. My oldest daughter was a senior in high school when that video was on MTV. She graduated in May 1990. :)

3. Completely underarated....

They were great. A friend of mine put together an anthology of their work. I hadn't realised all the stuff they did, and how much got passed over by the mainstream.

4. They have greatest hits cd....

... It's called "Who Cares A Lot?". There are a bunch of cool songs on there that I had never heard of.

[Cush]

10. actually, there are two "Best Of" albums

apparently it was to fullfil their record contract.

There's "This Is It, The Best of Faith No More" & "Who Cares Alot: Greatest Hits" (this is the doulbe CD)

9. I always liked them

I still listen to them sometimes. A little ahead of their time perhaps.

11. Saw them live, opening for.. (forgets who)

I thought they were pretty good, and I was not the sort of person who was real receptive to rap-rock at the time.

(I'm scratching my head, wondering if they opened for Husker Du, on their "Warehouse" tour. Might've been them.)

[Maestro]

12. They were underrated along with Primus!

[warrens]

13. No

We Care a Lot was a great song and got a lot of airplay. They were actually pretty big til they broke up.

[Orsino]

15. I liked 'em...

...I'm not a big fan of rap per se, but I *love* what it's done for rock.
