I know this gonna sound weird, but Stephen Marley. Before you react, think about the fact that when most think of Marley's sons, they think of Damian or Ziggy. IMO Stephen is the most talented. Stephen was co lead vox in Ziggy Marley & Melody Makers, and even sang lead on that Sugar Pie clip from 1982 that was well known. He also produced the majority of Damian's material. So Stephen essentially has all the Grammy's that Ziggy and Damian have plus two of his own. You may say that is not underated, but as I mentioned, Ziggy and Damian get all the attention. Incidentally, he sounds the most like Bob as well.

I'd have to argue that the whole reggae genre is seriously underrated and under-represented in today's music world, whether on the radio, TV or any other media, considering what it's contributed to modern music in general. Arguably, dub, hip-hop, drum & bass, jungle, house and quite a few more directly derived their inspiration from reggae. That's not even mentioning the obvious influences on one of the west coast's most popular music genres, "Cali-reggae".

Yes, Stephen's the one who sounds most like his dad and is most musical of the Marley Family Singers, but I don't think any of the Marleys are underrated by the general public, compared to the artists who've been laboring for decades in ill-deserved anonymity.

And needless to say, an enormity of fine microphone MCs/Dee-Jays/Toasters-On-The Mike, who can rock the house free-style way better than the vast majority of their hiphop counterparts.

I have to disagree with Treez calling JahSUN under-rated. He definitely makes my over-rated list. IMHO Ishi Dube is better and more original. I think Rocker T is under-rated as one of few american reggae acts to make my playlist. and Pressure asunder-rated but I m no expert only a listener.
