Most Underrated Band?

[Isla]

OK...

What band do you think is awesome but doesn't get the respect and attention they deserve?

My choice:

Collective Soul

 

[Fathom4]

Thin Lizzy. Best Irish band ever.

In reference to the Suicide Thread:

"The paper called it Suicide...
...a bullet from a .45.
Nobody cared, nobody cried...
...don't that make you feel sad."

Suicide (Thin Lizzy)

Time for bed soon, 'night all.

[Isla]

I met Jon and Chris Oliva (sp?) once... They are Tampa boys.

 

[jonnyGURU]

Pop Will Eat Itself.

They were one of the originators of the Hard Rock / Hip Hop fusion that is now used by Limp Bizkit, Korn, Incubus, etc.

 

[M00T]

limp bizket is suck

 

[mooncricket]

Finger Eleven all the way. The most talented unknown band out there.

 

[convex]

hey, i know about finger eleven now swank

 

[convex]

also, i personally like sunna, inner fear (hey, we played with them...), out of genre but aphex twin..

 

[piku]

Chemical Brothers. Their Dig Your Own Hole album was unbelievebly fantastic, but they didn't gain much recognition. They were one of the first british techno bands to gain popularity in the US (their songs released from Dig Your Own Hole gained a small bit of popularity), but ask most people who they are and they give you a blank stare.

 

[Xzaver]

-98degrees-
-wallflowers-
-Lit-
-POD-
-Bush-
-Creed-
-Eve6-

Thier are many artists that do not get the atention they deserve.

-Garbage-
-Filter-

The list will continue to go on....

 

[piku]

Xzaver: 98 degrees had their 5 minutes of fame. its over for them. same with lit.

POD is on TRL every fscking day. How can they not get enough attention?

 

[ltk007]

Creed got way to much attention in my opinion. I gotta give you Bush though, they are one of my favorite bands.

 

[zippy]

Chemical Brothers...formerly known as...Dust Brothers. They worked with the Beastie Boys on the BBoys album "Paul's Boutique"...its one helluva album!

 

[piku]

They did zippy? I'll have to check out that album. The Beastie Boys rock so that should be a good combination

 

[snoogans]

I was going to say Morcheeba and Underworld but they're known in Europe so I dunno if that counts

Then I thought about Tool but they're just not commercial so radio rarely plays 'em but quite a few people know and respect them so there went that.

The Dust Brothers paved the way for many but I've rarely heard them mentioned anywhere (Fight Club Soundtrack was excellent)

Soul Coughing gets my vote as well...

 

[zippy]

piku, you have good taste. Yeah, its a GREAT album! IMHO, its the best beastie boys one.

 

[Napalm381]

Opeth, a Swedish metal band. Zero radio play, virtually zero exposure in magazines, etc (with the exception of a few metal magazines).

 

[piku]

heh. I like the Beastie Boys, but I don't follow them enough to know naything about them... I just love songs and such with lyrics that make no sense, like the Beastie Boys. I absolutley love, LOVE, the song Body Movin'. However the original version is much too slow, the Fatboy Slim remix is much much better

hehe i love body movin...

"Let me get some action from the back section
We need body rocking not perfection
Let your back bone flip but don't slip a disc
Let your spine unwind just take a risk
I wanna do the freak until the break of dawn
Tell me party people is that so wrong....."

hehe great stuff

 

[zippy]

A few songs on Paul's Boutique are stories...great stuff! Oh, and of course some nonsense lyrics too.

 

[convex]

tiamat, paradise lost, apocalyptica, trans siberian orchestra, wesley willis (ja!), the yardbirds, dimmu borgir, blah, blah blah...there's alot now that i think about it..
