Not sure about bands that nobody else likes, surely even the most hated singer in the world has a Mum or sister who listens to them?
I was at a gig once, years ago in London and the support act blew me away, one of those moments where you see someone and instantly recognise genius and yet cannot understand why nobody else sees it.
The Mull Historical Society, effectively a one man band, I think he is one of the most underrated song writers around.
Seems I cannot read thread titles properly. Three bands. I guess Radiohead don't count do they? A few people like them.
I have always had a great fondness for Elbow, at one point not popular at all. A brilliantly original band who have recently, and deservedly, found commercial success.
And Turin Brakes, another underrated band who write great songs with just fantastically oddball and wonderful lyrics.
Hmm, it's hard to think of artists that I listen too that I think people like to think suck.
The Proclaimers (I'm proud Scottish like that) The Flaming Lips (out there. really.) Robbie Williams (huge. but has a lot of people who don't like his arrogance) Neutral Milk Hotel (either you hate their album or love it) Queen solo (Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, The Cross)
The German expressionists create music by banging various pieces of metal against each other. Of course it is easy to create noisy music by doing that, so the truly remarkable thing about this band is that they manage to create beautiful music doing it.
The Japanese electro/rock/prog/punk/metal/experimentalists do not only defy categorization, they make a mockery out of the entire notion of one. I guess nobody ever told them that music like this is completely impossible to create, and I sincerely hope that nobody ever will.
Eels - Actually, I don't think it's that nobody likes them as they have a pretty good cult following all over the world. It's just most people I talk to have never really heard of them.
primitive radio gods - Sure, everybody probably knows 'Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in my Hand', but they have some great other songs, too.
Wow, Mark, yous and mes seem to be on different planets when it comes to music. All 3 of these would have to fall somewhere in my bottom 10,000. Absolutely horrible with a capital H!
Damn...I gotta go listen to something cool and get those sounds out of my head.
Lol. Definately on distant planets. I like a lot of music, actually. I hate a lot of music too, though. Those were the ones that I liked back in the mid-90's that no one else was really talking about that have stuck with me through the years.
I don't mind some of Arjen Anthony's music, but the vocals and lyrics are what always put me off his stuff.
Never really listened or heard of the others you had mentioned. I'll have to check them out.
And Rob, if you're out there... I've always loved Smile Empty Soul. And 90's do rock. I wish I was in my mid-20's in the 90's. Guess I was born a decade too late. I feel cheated.
I can't think of very few albums and bands that I really, really like from the 90s. The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies are one. Candlebox is another. Maybe the Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier was an awesome album. But the one word I attribute to '90s music is "inauthentic". It either all sounded like coffeehouse crap, or it was trying NOT to be coffeehouse crap, or it was slick and commercialized like it was trying to get airplay...
Oh, the John Butler Trio is another one that rocks from the 90s - or are they more recent than that?
