Best bands that you're not listening to.

Recommended Posts

Nightwish was better with Tarja, meaning they had a more dynamic element. Now they just sound like any other female fronted metal band.

Lordi reminds me of GWAR ;)

I have heard Tarja's new music and its great also. I tend to prefer the more symphonic/"progressive" stuff.

I got Lupe Fiasco's two albums as a gift and I just listened to them both right through -- I can't believe I hadn't listened to his stuff sooner.

Earlier in this tread I was talking about my favorite band Corb Lund, if anybody gets a chance go see his latest tour in north America. I can't say enough good things about his live performances, PLUS he sings his own modified version of the hockey song each show and it's VERY funny. On Canada day I think he had around 8 Verses instead of the normal 3 and it lasted about 10 mins.

I found a link to one of his extended hockey songs so here you go.

If your one of those genuine country music haters, stay far away.

I don't know if this has been added, but Zebrahead is pretty good. They have sort of a Linkin Park sound in a few of their songs.

Another band that's been around a while, but not a whole lot of people know about are the Dropkick Murphys; those guys are absolutely beastly.

Russian Circles .... amazing instrumental rock, think a louder explosions in the sky

Jeremy Enigk ... former member of Sunny Day Real Estate's solo act. very soothing.

Envy ... band from Japan, another one like explosions in the sky, just heavier

65daysofstatic ... another favorite

the felix culpa ... good enough for me to make them my username

all time favorite - The Dillinger Escape Plan ... very heavy, very technical up until their latest album which is a bit more radio friendly.

I never understood how a good band like ATDI can produce an ok band and then the most pretentious crap band ever.

They didn't.

so...which one is sparta and which one is the mars volta in this description?

I like the Mars Volta, but I can't listen to more than one or two songs at a time...I respect what they are creating though.

Sparta isn't anything special, I do enjoy them when I feel like listening to some simple rock though.

Sparta is, like you said, a decent just rock band with not much else to it.

The Mars Volta is the most pretentious crap I've ever listened to. They make Tool look like the 1987 Beastie Boys.
