BongoBob Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I recently discovered the group The Mars Volta, and I bought their album Deloused In The Comatourium, and it's easily my favorite cd ever made. But there is only one person I know of that's even heard of the mars volta. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever been in this type of situation.

ET Warrior Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Very few people I know of have heard of Ska-P and their CD 'Que Corra La Vaz' (I think that's the spelling...) They're from spain.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Nobody knew about Ill Nino until I seen them open for Kittie, then I got everyone into em. Next thing I know their song is the lead title for Freddy vs Jason : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I'm going to see these guys on the 22nd at the same place I just saw Goatwhore. Nobody I know listens to them, and they're pretty good. They're American Head Charge, and they kick much ass. I picked up the promo not for sale version of their album War of Art. Give 'em a spin if you like the heavy tunes and weird lyrics. Also any Mr. Bungle album should be mentioned in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckcsaber Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Anything by Roy Buchanon. One of the greatest guitar players most people have never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I've heard of him... I have most of his CDs too. Another great "semi-unknown" guitarist is Danny Gatton. For Jazz guitar check out Bireli Lagrene... scary jazz chops! Someone I listen to for just straight-up pop music is Anggun. In my opinion she is much better than any of the American Pop vocal divas, but very few people know who she is. Amazing production values on her albums too...

toms Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 My mates LOVE the Mars Volta. We saw them spporting the chili peppers, and they have now bought all their albums. I have to say that personally i don't get it... but that us just me. Snow Patrol are fairly big in the Uk, but i dunno if they have made it outside the borders.. final straw is the album. Do as infinity: japanese pop/rock band. Interpol Britney Ferderline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Imaginarium, by Terry Scott Taylor. It's actually the soundtrack for the games the Neverhood Chronicles and its sequel, Skullmonkeys. The music's really wacky and crazy. Neverhood fans such as myself love it, and I've even gotten my parents to develop an "acquired taste" for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Originally posted by CapNColostomy Also any Mr. Bungle album should be mentioned in this thread. Damn. F**king. Straight. Basically, anything with Mike Patton in it is gonna be bloody brilliant. There are lots of bands that people I know have heard <i>of</i>, but not actually listened to. Fugazi are one. Frank Black and the Catholics; another great example. Mind you, I could go completely out on the left field, and ask if anyone has ever heard of Béla Fleck & the Flecktones... They're pretty difficult to define - think Dave Matthews Band, tighter musically, a bit more jazzy and without any lyrics. Sublime. My musical tastes are so wide ranging, I doubt many people would have heard of all the bands I listen to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Night in the Ruts and Rock in a Hard Place are some of my favorite Aerosmith albums, but neither were never popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 The MArs Volta is great. Tie sent me a song by a band called "Local H" called "Everyone Alive", and its an awesome song. Im sure theyre a great band too. Blind Faith is great too. They were a band only in 1969, if I recall correctly. They only made one album, but its really a great album. I doubt many people heard of Blind Faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Originally posted by The_One ...and ask if anyone has ever heard of Béla Fleck & the Flecktones... Yup. Seen them live a couple of times. I have almost all thier CDs, but I really like the older lineup (with the keyboard/ harmonica player) better than the current one (with the horn player.) I didn't think they were that unknown a band, though... but then I tend to travel in Jazz-head "Muso" type circles where they are well known,.. at least for a jazz-leaning band.

BongoBob Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 I like what this thread has become. I'm surprised that even one person has heard of The Mars Volta. I'm trying to look into some of the bands you guys have posted. Right now I'm looking for Ska-P - intifada EDIT: Originally posted by jebbers Taproot One band I know, and love They are actually kind of wide known here in the US.

Rogue Nine Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Dispatch Off Kilter (really good Irish music) Traci Lords (yes, she did porno when she was young, but she makes kickass techno music now) Placebo (Brian Molko is a god. ) E.S. Posthumus (amazing new age music, you've probably heard some of it, as movie trailers are fond of using their stuff) See-Saw (awesome Japanese music group, don't expect any of you to know them) Kotoko The Indigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
