Thin Lizzy
Ireland's first heavy rockers, Thin Lizzy rocked throughout the '70s with a mix of teenage rebellion and working-class angst, becoming known for wild behavior on and off the stage. Phil Lynott's Bruce Springsteen-meets-Jimi Hendrix voice perfectly suited the band's power-chord hooks and dual guitar harmonies. They hit the bigtime in '76 with JAILBREAK's title track and "Boys Are Back in Town." The group's slow fade-out ended with a farewell tour in 1983, and Lynott's drug-related death in 1986.

I know everybody says that this or that band was underrated, but with Thin Lizzy you hear so much that just was not done at the time, some of which didn't become common for years. It's hard to pick a favorite, because every song sounded fresh, but I'd have to say Still in Love with You, one of the greatest rock ballads ever.
