But you probably should. List bands that you think no one will have heard of, but are good and should be checked out!

My list:

Beloved (melodic hardcore, really good stuff)
Underoath (melodic hardcore)
Thrice (Ok I'm sure some of you have heard of them, now that they're on MTV, but check 'em out anyway)
Coheed and Cambria (indie)
The Postal Service (electronic)
The Faint (electronic)
Piebald (pop rock)
Kind of Like Spitting (soft rock with a violinist)


And if you're into metal/hardcore,

Every Time I Die
Between the Buried and Me
The Number 12 Looks Like You
Daughters
The Bled
Hopesfall
Glassjaw

I don't want this to turn into a music snobbery fest. Think of it more as a "sharing" thread.

and thats about it...

Mmm. Music snobbery.

I saw the Yonder Mountain String Band live, too. In St. Louis. They were good.

Jesse Dangerously - A brillant Canadian rapper/poet guy. MP3 here, lyrics here. Use together for optimum results. Some language.

the bands i would suggest had music up on mp3.com so it's kinda pointless right now

------------------
wang is within all

Dude, I'm surprised I know about 80 percent of the bands in the lists so far... is that good?

Sigur Ros <3

I've seen Glassjaw in concert, not a big fan, but it's a totally different kind of music than what I usually like, so ya.

dry gear the frog has my favorite list so far

Jump, Little Children (rock) RECORDING NEW ALBUM THIS WEEK IN ATLANTA WOOOHOOOOO!!!

Tinkers Punishment (you've heard Muse right? TP = better)

Doves (kind of electronic/brit pop) good stuff

Carbon Leaf (folk/rock) i love these guys, but it's an acquired taste, first time you listen you're like... em... check the song The Boxer

Owen Beverly (radiohead + jeff buckley?) check out the song Stillborn, oh so good

South (britpop) kind of like Doves, but not really... good stuff, new CD With the Tides is awesome

Rosebud (norah jones/jazz) good stuff, lead singer of Jump Little Children's side project

------------------
<< start the revolution >>

Overseer.

------------------
The Matrix: Unplugged

Godspeed You Black Emperor is excellent.


I like a lot of Saul Williams stuff. It's poetry/rap. It's really hit-or-miss, though, for me at least.

The man knows what he's talking about! Though I've never heard of "The Tea Party"...

Iced Earth's "Gettysburg 1863" from their new album, with vocals by Tim Owens, is their best song ever. Better than a Question of Heaven, Dante's Inferno and the Something Wicked Trilogy, too.

And I only have an awful quality MP3 rip.



I'm not really a huge fan of Hammerfall. It's all a bit power-metally for me. "Glory to the Brave" is probably their one stand out song. All the rest have a tendency to blur together...

And my additions:

Nevermore
Savatage (Metal with a broadway style!)

Really? I didn't expect that.
*raises schming a notch on respect-o-meter*


Woah, more paradoxes in there than I can count.

Let's see if I can provide some linkage...

Lapdog- Father Christmas (Kinks cover)
This is a great Kinks cover, much better than the original.


Glen Phillips- The Last Sunset (live)
A beautiful song by Glen Phillips.

Video for Glen Phillips's "Brain Trust Kid"
16 megs, but nice.

Glen Phillips and Nickel Creek- Falling

Glen Phillips- Falling
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! PLEASE LISTEN! (note- contains a bit of swearing)

I checked out the Tom Petty song and dug it.

gear: Just read the lyrics. They stand on their own merit if the style is too much for you.

This is easy... to see many bands you've never heard of but still play decent music, just watch Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

------------------
"Guns don't kill people, I kill people."

But now for the artist that no-one knows by his name, but his music is one of the best music ever:

GEINOH YAMASHIROGUMI

He's the one who composed the soundtrack of Akira, which is surrealistic great soundtrack. Greatest soundtrack of all time.

------------------
<landfish> FastGamerr > Satan

Avenged Sevenfold
Bleeding Through

------------------
Roach - Steal acceptance, lend denial.

0 of 14.

also, the "Grits" are good, but christian it's rap.. so yah

Yeah.

British bands are the best. Doves, Coldplay, Radiohead, Travis, Oasis, The Verve, Blur, they all rock.
