Thought this would be a cool thread to unearth some hidden gems...

This guy should be a house hold name by now, surely?

Maybe I'm wrong....

Got any gold?

Amy Macdonald is quite under-rated.

Absolutely none because what is under-rated to you maybe over-rated to other people, for example as I listen exclusively to alternative music anybody in the top 20 would be pretty damn overrated to me.

This. Could have been as big as Springsteen (no, I'm not joking) but never really toed the mainstream line. Extraordinary talent though.

I'd love if Nerina Pallot got more attention for her stellar work.

Well I think Ester Dean is. She has written/co-written the BIGGEST hits in the world like Rihanna 'What's my name' and Nicki Minaj 'Superbass' but no-one ever mentions her when it comes to song writers even though she's amazingly succesful.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Paloma Faith - to me - one of the most talented female singers of all time. Her voice is absolutely fantastic and her song writing skills are just beautiful!

Amy Macdonald for god sake. She deserves to have 6 top ten hits at least and to sell more albums than she already does.
