Bands that should get more recognition?

[QUOTE="Greatgone12"][QUOTE="web966"]Fugazi and Husker Dudangerd0g24

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

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.

Eden synthetic corps, Siva six, James D. stark, Midnight Configuration, Access Zero, the Strand, Pocahaunteddissonantblack

Speaking of bands, I just started listenign to that birthday massacre band and so far I like them alot. I thought they were gonna be a goth band for some reason.

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

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

Guilemonts sing get over it, i know there other songs too.

They are multi cultured

I'm surprised you know them, I like their stuff alot but some people I play their stuff to find them hard to listen to at first. What do you think of them?

Anyways, I have no idea why Nick Cave isn't widely considered a rock and roll god. Seriously, dude makes nonstop high quality records for over 20 years and still isn't considered totally important. NearTheEnd

agreed, his last album with the bad seeds was great. He kinda reminds me of Frank Zappa for some reason.

Porcupine Tree are so overrated IMO. King's X are a band who deserve more attention.DFan17902

overrated? How can a band that doesnt get much recognition in the mainstream be overrated? More like underrated if you as me.

Because people claim that their music is so original and unique and amazing, and that they're the "be all and end all" of music. In reality, they're not that great. Kind of like what people say about Tool.

Does anyone else here like the bands Dokken and Sympthony X? Film-Guy

I like Symphony X, haven't heard of Dokken.

I havent heard them called that before, I just think they make some really great albums, I wouldnt call them what you say some people call them. Then again I was never a huge tool fan either.

Why?

Their lyrics are so interesting and pretty funny at times. The music is good too.

Its stoner metal for "nerds". If you like to get high, or have a stoner mentality, and you like Lord of the Rings, you might like this group. Its a side project of Rob Crow who just rocks.

Terrible sound as in bad sound quality at the concert or bad band? I kind like them, they remind me of Def Leppard.

I recently discovered a greek metal band called Firewind, worth checking out. Also check out a band called Avantasia. Film-Guy

Firewind are well known. So are Avantasia. Are you just getting into metal?

They're also really good live, Gus G. is nuts.

i just got into Symphony X i havent heard much but i like them so far

I was never a huge metal fan so yeah I am pretty much just getting into modern metal. I didnt know they were well known. What about the bands Knight area and Phideaux. are they well known?

What kinda surprised me is how much great progressive rock and metal is made in europe, scandinavian metal is really good but there are other like Sylvan from Holland are really doing some great music. Film-Guy

Still, progressive rock has lost it's essence over the years.

Sad but true, it seems progressive metal is the best place to find progressive music now. Though there are some prog gems, nothing up the the standard of classics like the lamb lies down on broadway or thick as a brick.

Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement, Nobunaga themed Death Metal is just awesome:D

Linkin Park and Green Day!!1!!

Naw but seriously... Blotted Science. Really great progressive metal band.
