unknown bands

ok, everyone knows that they have some band in thier arsenal of music that they think others either havn't seen or havn't hardly heard of. i want to see the bands. im not sure if people have ever heard of psycostick but thats what im putting. what bands do you know?

ummm.... hang on a sec...In here there HAS to be one someone doesn't know, unless there like me and don't have a selective taste(they like almost any music)
strange bands I think some might not know, mainly cuz they went out of 'style' a while ago, or they aren't well known, or they are old as hhell,
311, Eurythmics, Alice in Chains, Apocalyptica, (A few months ago I would have said Atreyu, Ten Years or A7X, but they are growing like wildfire), Beck, Billy Squire, Bush, Fuel, Oasis, Blur, Toby Mac, Cake, Butthole Surfers, Collective Soul, Daft Punk, Eiffel 65, Everclear, Flobots, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Jimmy Eat World, Jane's Addiction, Lemon Demon, Lit, Live, Men At Work, Pearl Jam, REM, Safety Suit, Ludo, Skillet, Snow, Stone Temple Pilots, SoundGarden, B-52s, Raconteurs, King Harvest, Teriyaki Boyz,

If you by some chance know at least a song by everyone of these bands then Dayamn, although King Harvest and Eiffel 65 may be a little difficult, unless you were around back then or came across them one morning :P

i know a lot of those bands, eiffel 65 is an awesome techno band, alice in chains is awesome, apocaly[tica, oasis, everclear, are just a few of them that i know. yeah, thier all good too. rock on.

theres a lot of bands i dont know and i knew about half of those

Oasis... they did Bittersweet symphony
(the song with the orchestra at the begginning going doo doo dooo doo doo dooo(Yes I can't write sounds well :P))

my big sister is starting a band but she dose not know what to call it

There's a Canadian band known as Moxy Fruvous that's quite overlooked.

They did a number of fantastic songs. I recommend Darlington Darling if you want an introduction to the band.

This is quite odd topic.
Here is some bands I'm currently listening: www.last.fm/user/nimimerkillinen/charts?rangetype=overall&subtype=artists
Most of people haven't heard most of those bands. Atleast most of people I've met don't know even 10% of the bands so I guess they are pretty unknown in Finland but what can be unknown here can be very known in USA for example.
I would rate band unknown if you can't find it in rateyourmusic.com nor www.last.fm

eiffel 65 is an awesome techno band

????

thanks for the laugh this morning, william.. lol.. made me squirt coffee out my nose!

and in terms of best unknown band, I'd have to go with Audio Bullys. That's right, you haven't heard of them. It's ok. But you should.

do not be mean to William

I dont discriminate against William. If anyone else dared to call that crappy Italo Pop group as being 'awesome techno band', it'd mock them too. Just because a synthesizer is used by a group, doesnt mean its Techno. And its an insult to the true Detroit Techno scene to call Eiffel 65 a techno band.

hey, effil 65 is an awesome band. so shhhhhh! and i got another one for you guys, the band is called alien ant farm. some people might have heard, but no one i know has.

Full Scale - australian band. They made lots of fans in fresno, CA.
Wolfmother - another aussie band
Pantera - I'm still surprised they aren't as well known
Pennywise - super indie rock
MxPx - all these years and I still don't know what to make of this band
Social Distortion
The Hellacopters
Dick Dale - surf rock
Henry Rollins Band
the Misfits
Megadeth - metallica's main rivals
Motorhed - southern metal?
The Cranberries - quite popular in the mid 90's
Sixpence none the Richer
Lacuna Coil - kickass lead singer
The Donnas - the first all girl band that I thought rocked
Kittie - ahead of their time? probably. it was like an all girl visual kei band
PJ Harvey
No Doubt - Gwen's hot and all, but I liked her better when she was with a real band
The Distillers - punk rock atypical female vocalist=rock!!
Blondie - early 80's synth pop/rock band. they killed it, yo.
Kings of Leon - They're going with a cleanshaven look now. looked and sounded better with beards
Pearl Jam - haven't stopped playing shows big and small since the early 90's, possibly late 80's.
Speakers for the dead - old local area band, just before going big one gets picked off by cancer. not sure if they're still together or not.
Six Ounce Gloves - good local area band. constantly tours all over creation. Go see them if they're in your area
Fiona Apple - damn she was hot!


If we're including bands that were semi popular in the last two decades but have been forgotten in time....
Oh and yes, Eiffel 65 is trash.

i know a lot of those band.... and WAT????????

i'll admit, eiffel 65 not have as many good songs as metallica or pandera, but i do like two songs. move your body and blue... that's it. what is up with you guys and dissing eiffel 65?

oh... hell... no. this is what i hate about this site, stupid stuck up asses like you always got to start a fight over the stupidest stuff. why can't you people just leave your comments to yourself, or at least IM me so that we can argue in private.

hey 3501, if you know so much, what bands to you know. that haven't been named there, that you think no one has really heard of?

well then, keep your comments to your self, a lot of these bands were around in the seventies and back on, and not a lot of peole know about them. besides, you are nowhere near as stuck up as me at music, tell me somthing. do you listen to any rap at all?

No matter how unknown you think the band you like is, someone here has quite likely heard of them. Thats an unavoidable fact when you have a membership ranging over many decades and various countries. Sorry. Remember that members who are older than yourself will have had a wider and longer exposure to different music and thus probably already have experienced wonder that is finding "old and unknown" bands and thinking that no one else knows who the heck they are. But the internet is not school, it is not the social group you hang out with in real life. As a collective theres more information out there than we can each deal with and no matter what you say there will usually be someone out there who will be able to say "no" and conflict how you've said something. When you say "not a lot of people know about them" its obviously going to mean something different to another user as we then tend to think about our own, different, social circles and what we listen to there. Just because you think the Eurythmics went out of style doesn't mean everyone everywhere just stopped listening. Personally I go to club nights where most of this stuff is on regular set lists (and yes, even on the radio).

When asking people about finding new music I tend to stick to a certain genre and fill it out from there. But mostly I, like 350125g0, tend to stick to what I like or explore the new options for myself so that I'm sure I'm finding something I really like. Its just a matter of preference.

320, you've heard of Eiffel 65, i'm sure of it. Its that one-hit-wonder that had that really REALLY annoying song way back, 'da ba dee, da ba die' repeated over and over... people used to try to guess what they were saying, and general consensus was 'I'm in need of a guy', or 'if i were green i would die', or maybe the idiots really did just sing 'da be dee, da ba die' for 5 minutes straight.

It ranks up there with 'Crazy Frog' on the annoyometer.

lol

it's been stuck in mine for past few days thanks to this thread... ugh..

May I suggest some 'Smack My Bitch Up' by The Prodigy, another VERY catchy tune, but not annoying? it may smack that 'blue' song outta your head.
