Do you guys listen to any bands that aren't famous? I listen to a few bands that none of my friends had never even heard of till I talked about them. Tom Waits and Humple Pie are both amazing and very few people I know have ever listened to them. Do any of you guys listen to anybody that we here might not know of?

My favorite artist of all time if probaly not known around the US. Her name is Utada Hikaru, a Japanese artist that had an English album that came out in October but it didn't do so well... The album's great though, it's a mixture of Pop/R&B but it's way better than most of the other pop acts out there as it's not very mainstream/generic.

A lot of the older stuff that used to be famous that I listen to and none of my friends seem to know who they are. I wouldn't count it as not being famous because bands like Led Zeppelin who used to be the biggest thing ever but my friends only know the song Stairway to Heaven. I also got a friend who listens to a whole bunch of punk bands that I've never heard of.

Wilco, Longwave, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Strike Anywhere, The Mars Volta, At the Drive In, Taj Mahal, Josh Redman, The Postal Service, and loads of other bands.

Taj Mahal! lol such a funny name for a band. I think I've heard a couple of their songs before. Not sure though but the name strikes a cord in my brain.

Damien Rice
Sam Roberts
Sunny Day Real Estate
Spoon
Zero 7
Frou Frou (being used for the Garden State trailer surely got them some press)

It's even funnier -- it's a person, not a band.

The Huffers
The Cubanos
Kill Danny Kill
Look Out for Space Ghosts

LMAO!!!! Crazy indians.

He's not Indian, either.

You should try it, though. It's a mixture of bluegrass, folk, r&b, jazz, and rock. Or, in short, blues. But, his stuff tends to be much more upbeat and quick than, say, Clapton's moody work.

Joshua Redman

Any Jazz fans?

Ninja Turtle Experience
Go Bobs Go
Donkey Racers

All great bands

Pretty much most of the music I listen to, you lot have probably never even knew existed, save for some classic bouts and perhaps a few bands here and there.

It is my father, the great rustopholus who pionered that band :wink:

sweet. I adore dispatch. so much fun to chill out to.. esp. 'the ring' and 'general' or 'bang bang'

Ahh including that great song, "Finding the Loch Ness Monster (on Labor Day)"

*Wayne Brady begins singing in Who's Line is it Anyway fashion*

You got me, rusty.

Actually, I like Underoath, The Fall Of Troy, The Blood Brothers, Gauge Means Nothing, Nitro Mega Prayer, Jerome's Dream, Saetia, Die Emperor Die, Portraits Of Past, Orchid, From Autumn To Ashes, As The Sun Sets....

The general is their greatest song ever!

chowderfoot anyone ?

I know they're well-known with any music fan, but it seems none of my friends know who the hell Radiohead is. I don't think they're less-known, but I could be wrong.
