Bands that should get more recognition?

There are a few I know that should get more recognition, here are a few:D

Iron Butterfly ( They were one of th first heavy metal bands)

The Idle Race

Tomorrow

Porcupine Tree

Shearwater

The Creation

Pulp

Supergrass

Spocks beard

I personally believe that bands get the recognition they deserve. If they work hard, are talented, release good music, and tour extensively they will get the recognition.

So I won't name any bands because of that.

Enter Shikari - Amazing band from Britain. Their music is a very unique blend of post-hardcore, trance and electronics.

London Elektricity - Another blatant attempt to promote english music, but these are awesome too. Drum and Bass/ Jungle/ Breakbeat goodness

Tomahawk

Mondo Generator

Porcupine TreeFilm-Guy

I second that.

Listen to them folks, they're pretty sick.

Arctic Monkeys, in my opinion.jointed

Are you being serious? Well in the Uk they are probably the biggest band of the 'indie' genre

FragStains

They often dont though, especially these days.

I'm pretty sure everyone in this country knows who Iron Butterfly is. Their one hit to this day is one of the most famous rock songs of all time. Pirate700

I have never seen or heard them mentioned anywhere.

The U.K has a very different music scene than the U.S does. Lots of the so called indie bands in the U.S are pretty much mainstream in the U.K. Bands like the kaiser chiefs, kasabian and Elbow are much more widely known in the U.K. I kinda prefer the music scene there.

There's tons of bands from the 80's and 90's, but the bands I'm about to list are from the 60's and I think created classic albums that have been overshadowed by their contemporaries.

The Millennium

Kaleidoscope

Haha Arctic Monkeys deserve more recognition? Gimme a break.

They're ok. Soft little sounds and monotonous lyrics to appeal to the masses. Nothing special really. To be fair, they're f'ing huge as it is.

Yeah, in the UK... but they're virtually unknown in the rest of Europe.

Tbh Elbow aren't that big in the UK either, although i must admit the 'indie' scene in the UK is on fire atm you just neeed to see all the festivals that have popped up in the last 3 years

I went to one of those festivals, the hop farm festival. Supergrass, Primal Scream, Neil Young and My Morning Jacket played there. Great show.

Hmm, yeah. It may have been a slight exaggeration but they're certainly not as big in other EU countries.

Pirate700

Yeah it was a bit random, great show though. Rufus Wainright and the Guilemots were there also. Nobody here knows the Guilemots though.

[QUOTE="jointed"]Arctic Monkeys, in my opinion.Big_Bad_Sad

Agreed, catchy but thats pretty much it.

Avenged Sevenfold

Enter Shikari

The Arctic Monkeys should be buried alive, along with McFly, Snow Patrol, Scouting for Girls and Coldplay.

I thought avenged sevenfold were pretty big already.

Fugazi and Husker Duweb966

Enter Shikari - Amazing band from Britain. Their music is a very unique blend of post-hardcore, trance and electronics.

Not in Britain they arent.

Out of everyone I know, theyre only 2 other people I know who are fans.

Soundgarden foxhound_fox

Huh? Soundgarden are one of the "big 4" of grunge. Compared to the other three they might be the least observed, but they are still very popular.

Anyways, the Toadies are a very under appreciated band.

That's a good thing. A7X sucks.

[QUOTE="web966"]Fugazi and Husker DuGreatgone12

the only reason that Fugazi probably got credit is because Ian Mackaye is in it.

Porcupine Tree

Radiohead (in the U.S.)

Muse (in the U.S.)

Opeth
