Really, you think no one knows about Something Corporate or The Shins? 😛

Mine: The Besnard Lakes | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ify-buS9JUU

It's like The Beach Boys, My Bloody Valentine, and Led Zeppelin made an album together.

Half of you are posting bands plenty of people have heard of. Take your music snobbery to 4chan

 

[ahenkel]

holy crap you are S-M-R-T you figured out other people listen to music too. Shocked I am I tell you.

You would be quite surprised. Of my friend group most people don't know either, the few that do know 1 song (either "Constantine" or "Caring is Creepy) and have no other experience with the music.

Half the people I know don't know the shins at all which is quite upsetting.

As for Something Corporate I rarely find people who know them. I saw them in concert once at the TLA and it was far from packed too sadly.

The Radio Department

Its not possible to have a band NO ONE knows about but you. Cuz if you were the only one who knew about them, then obviously they arent selling enough albums or concert tickets to keep them in business and would no longer be a band.

Anyway, as for bands few people know about: I like Artificial Joy Club and Skunk Anansie.

 

[Pollock]

Nada Surf
Jets to Brazil
CAKE
Air

Not total unknowns, but they do not get the respect they deserve.

Also, tons of people know about The Shins.

 

[yllus]

Matt & Kim

 

[nageov3t]

my favorite bands of the moment are The Gossip and The Bellrays

not completely unknown garage bands, but they're not mainstream either.

I've got a major thing for hard rock bands with female lead singers.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

They Might Be Giants
Tom Waits
Bôa

I'm not into music that much so they might be more well known than I think.

 

[Chaotic42]

The only one I can think of is Widespread Panic and they're pretty well known.

 

[xanis]

Murder By Death
Comeback Kid
RX Bandits

The only one I haven't heard of is Jets to Brazil. All the others I've listened to and I think they're pretty good.

I just made up a band called the Fighting Mongooses.
I looked online.
Sure enough.
Somebody already took it.

Fuck.

Not completely unheard of, but not popular to the general public:

A Wilhelm Scream (melodic/technical hardcore)
Clutch (stoner rock, blues rock, funk metal)
The Methadones (punk rock, pop punk)
Nikola Sarcevic (singer/bassist from Millencolin, his solo stuff is pop/acoustic)
Zero Down (punk rock)

The Dreaming... Same singer and drummer from Stabbing Westward

Which drummer? They had 5 of them over the years...lol.

I just went and checked out The Dreaming because I used to be a SW fan. Wow, they were just bad. I listen to 4-5 of their songs on myspace and they're no SW!
