13. I'd Replace The Kinks With The Cars

And, i like all the bands you listed, but The Cars were unique. They sounded like nobody before them and nobody after them sounded much like them. The quirkiness, the interplay between the 2 guitars and keyboard all playing different figures, the 2 lead singers.

I know it seems counterintuitive to say that a band that sold 30 million albums was underrated, but remember they're just now getting in the HoF and one of the guys has been dead for a decade.
