Most Underrated Post Grunge Bands

The Top Ten
1 Fuel

These guys really rocked! They had a lot of range with their song writing. Their Sunburn album was REALLY amazing, heavy punk-sounding influences an a number of tracks. Their second album (Something Like Human) showed even more range with some heavier songs like "Down" and "Empty Spaces". Definitely a band that should have had more exposure than they did. I love me some Fuel and they are still in my rotation today!

Incredible band

Highly agree

2 Puddle of Mudd Puddle of Mudd is an American post-grunge band formed in 1991. To date, the band has sold over seven million albums and has had a string of No. 1 hits, with their most famous hit being "Blurry". They have gone on to release six studio albums. Their music has been heavily compared to Nirvana due to Wes Scantlin's similar-sounding singing voice.

Puddle of Mudd has a lot of diverse and catchy songs, they indeed have a lot of quality, just not the right exposure they deserved.

7 Lifehouse Lifehouse is an American rock band from Los Angeles comprising Jason Wade, Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. and Bryce Soderberg.

A lot of people dislike Lifehouse but I have always loved them

Oh God... Just some songs are post-grunge, but this doesn't mean that they are post-grunge. They are melodic rock and alternative rock. Please... Don't call them pop-rock too. Just ''You and me'' is pop-rock. And last thing... They're my favorite band
