These are the 3 bands of which you're a fan, but you've yet to meet or speak to anyone who likes them.  Maybe a few of us will find common ground in our tastes.

For me, it's:

1. Nazareth - I like these guys a lot; they're actually in my top 5.  Sure, Dan McCafferty on good days sounds like a cross between a Faces-era Rod Stewart and Brian Johnson, and on bad days sounds like he's clearing phlegm. And sure, they're not breaking any musical ground. But Manny Charlton plays a great slide guitar, and they actually segue pretty nicely from 3 chord rock n' roll to power ballads.

2. Marillion - I imagine these guys were huge in Europe, but here in America no one knows them.  I'm only speaking of the first 3 releases btw (with Fish).  If you wonder what Marillion sounds like, think of Peter Gabriel era Genesis, but with more emotion and better lyrics.  "Heart of Lothian" still moves me like almost no other song.

3. Screaming Cheetah Wheelies - yeah I know, stupid name. But great band. Awesome actually. I only own the first 2 releases, but that's enough. They had a couple of radio hits in 1994 and then faded away. They had a good cult following; more along the order of God Street Wine than the Greatful Dead, but a dedicated following nonetheless. These guys do Southern Rock, or more correctly, "boogie rock", to perfection. Their sense of melody is unparalleled, and lead singer Mike Farris has some magical moments. "Jami/Sister Mercy" is eclipsed in the best song category only by "Somebody To Love", IMHO...

3. Marion
4. Divynls
5. Japan
6. Propaganda.

Oh shite. Must read the question properly.

Mine are mostly prog metal, but here we go:

1. Pain of Salvation - Big huge thumbs up. Okay, I was introduced to them years ago by someone I knew from Sweden, but I talk to him very rarely, and around here in Oklahoma, no one has heard of them. This was the first metal band I ever liked, and it lead me to Dream Theater and a wide range of musical taste that I never had before.

2. Vanden Plas - Funny name for me, but it's another group that's very musically talented and yet, no one I know has ever heard of them.

There are a host of prog metal groups that no one in my circle of friends knows anything about: Rhapsody (of Fire, and a huge, huge, huge thumbs up to them...absolute freakin' genius stuff..it's epic and most everything I like to hear in any music), Royal Hunt, Ayreon, Kamelot (Thanks to Guitar Hero, people do know about Dragonforce now), but I'll move on to:

3. Hilary McRae - I only know about her because I saw a bit on the a morning news show one day, and I was interested in her album. I listen to her album frequently, and she only has one at the moment. I haven't read where she'll have another one or not, so who knows, but the girl is talented enough. Her music is very jazz-ish in nature along with some old school rock. It's great to listen to and a legit style that's much needed in the cookie cutter music biz.

Those are my three (plus four asides).

I wish I listened to more music. I only really like one band that most people don't know.

Morphine. Moody, jazzy, noir-ish rock. Lol. They've long since broken up, but they were great when they were around. Poor Mark Sandman. =(

Sweet. She's worth checking out, in my opinion.

Hmm...

1) Modern English

2) Men without Hats  and Oh yes...

3) short for de-evolution.  Man progressing backwards instead of forward.  Yes, they were largely misunderstood so I can sympathize with them.  For those of you who don't know them...

Men Without Hats! A phrase I haven't heard for at least two decades.

I do recall The Safety dance well. Wasn't their singer called Boris or Ivan or something? Hailed from Sandra's neck of the woods. Doroschook or something like that. That was it.

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Cos your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine


Right, I'm just gonna YouTube them. Good work GW.

So do you.

I love the GO-GO's but I didn't want to say it.  I've seen them in concert six times.  Yes, we both have good taste.  All those groups you mentioned were great in there heyday.

Good stuff

The Shaggs.

Nobody gets them like I do.  And I mean nobody.

Ahahaha...no, you shouldn't have said it.

You've really been dating yourself here Ghostwriter.  I love Modern English.  I've got After the Snow on vinyl, and still give it a spin from time to time.



Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Oh yes, I guess I have.  Oh well, I've said enough.  You also have good taste.  Modern English, so you can't be all that bad, Bert.

Nothing wrong with the Go-Gos! At the least, they produced Belinda Carlisle, who had some great songs in her solo career.
I was gonna mention the Bangles too, but they were proabaly too popular to rate in this topic. I used to have a huge poster of them on my bedroom door...


...which probably explains a lot.

I've met people who like Oingo Boingo, but they rank highly as one of my favorites. I mean, how can you go wrong with Danny Elfman on music, lyrics, and leading the band along with his long time orchestrator Steve Bartek right there as well. Between Only a Lad to their last album, Boingo (not Boi-Ngo), you can really hear how composing soundtracks affected Elfman's songwriting style, and the music on each album is almost completely dissimilar.

And The Shaggs... Really, Bert? You're still on them? My pal's name is Foot-foot, so I shot him to put him out of his misery. Sorry. Not hating.
