Music you've never heard of...

[jjzelinski]

I'll start (and yes this is a shameless plug, but only because I think the music is awesome.)

"The Bas Plus"

It's Jazz, but slightly different. Fvucking incredible though, check out "Dirty Blonde" for something quintessential.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Alan Parson's Project - I'm surprised how many people haven't heard their stuff, it's beyond amazing, each and every album they released.

This thread is worthless without links.

I've heard them/him, but I can't remember the sound. I'm investigating now....

Yep.

 

[jjzelinski]

The Bad Plus, that's all you need to know.


That and their first two albums are great and I think what I've heard of their third SUCKS.

Baby I Love You - The Yayhoos


I recommend that song to all the newly weds.

 

[MyThirdEye]

I'll check them out.

See here gentlemen? This is what we like to call a "Man's Man."

Nice taste in music, bud.

Since people are wanting links, try Heathen. They have their first two albums hosted on their website in their entirety and both are excellent. Think 80's Metallica meets Gamma Ray, but with two guitarists that slaughter Kirk on his best day.

That's what I call self-centered. He thinks all his music is music we should listen to.

Thats just a small list...

well, Dream Theater isn't played on the radio and isn't mainstream, so probably a lot of people.

The Tea Party

Audio quality sucks at the link, but the band is fantastically good.

yes, forgot about them. they are good as well

 

[jfall]

The Jimmy Swift Band

 

[AnonymouseUser]

Ayreon was already mentioned, so I'll second that.

Riverside is another great band most have never heard of - 1) Audio only. 2) Live video.

 

[NanoStuff]

Warning, artists/groups that don't suck ahead:

Mike Oldfield
Tangerine Dream
Jean Michel Jarre
Jan Hammer
Schiller
G.O.L
Aschera
Amethystium
Bella Sonus
Crystal Method
Karunesh
Medwyn Goodall
ATB
Brooklyn Bounce
Dune
Cynic Project

and many others I can't just yet remember.

I hope this anti-suckiness didn't make you spill your coffee, I did warn you I was going extreme.
