The People's Hero Posted 16 April 2006 Posted 16 April 2006 I'm clearly running out of ideas for threads here. Anyway, this is my latest idea. Bands you like who you may well have brought to the attention of others but no one who you've spoken to about them likes them. In fact most people think they're sh it. Here's mine: Hefner The French The Hidden Cameras Motion City Soundtrack Ambulance Ltd As an aside here, I would like to withdraw my assessment of the Kooks as horribly mediocre. They're great. Factoid. MOR great, but great nonetheless.
shen Posted 16 April 2006 Posted 16 April 2006 Nobody shares my enthusiasm for Tool on here, so I guess they would count
Jay Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 Nobody shares my enthusiasm for Tool on here, so I guess they would count hey I have nothing against Tool!!! I saw them live back in the day supporting Rage Against The Machine
Jay Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 I love Fugazi, The Nation of Ulysses and other Dischord bands but many people have never heard of them let alone enjoy them as much as I do!!
FoxInTheSnow Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 Here's mine: Hefner The Hidden Cameras I like them both. I like the Beatles. Not many agree I find.x
Dr The Singh Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 You probably never haerd of em but here they are; Safri Boyz Avtar Maniac
shen Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 hey I have nothing against Tool!!! I saw them live back in the day supporting Rage Against The Machine You're the first then... The vast majority (of what I've read) on here do not listen to music that comes remotely close to Tool though...
Jay Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 You're the first then... The vast majority (of what I've read) on here do not listen to music that comes remotely close to Tool though... The only thing wrong with them was the one piece orange romper suit that MJK was wearing!!! SHOCKING STUFF!!!
shen Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 The only thing wrong with them was the one piece orange romper suit that MJK was wearing!!! SHOCKING STUFF!!! Well that's what he wants..to shock people They take the piss out of journalists all the time and have a quite weird and sinister sense of humor
Phube Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 I like the Beatles. Not many agree I find.x The Beatles, I think I might have heard of them!!!
dynamite foxes Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 I like a band called Radio 4. They are quite political and anti-bush, but if you like the Killers and that sort of stuff you will probably like it. # I like Dogs and all I thought their album was brilliant.
Nationwider Posted 17 April 2006 Posted 17 April 2006 I've been a big fan of Saint Etienne for pretty much as long as they've been in existence (roughly since 1989, I think). They don't seem to register on many people's musical radars though. I also like The Wedding Present - again, they rarely get a mention anywhere these days.

Yeah, they're ok...haven't heard much of them though

hairy Posted 18 April 2006 Posted 18 April 2006 I also like The Wedding Present - again, they rarely get a mention anywhere these days. I love the Wedding Present. When they released Bizarro I ditched my job (which was shite anyway) and followed them around the country with about 60 other people. Those were the days. Seamonsters is probably the best album of all time with another long time hero Steve Albini producing it. Should say I like the Butthole Surfers. No one likes them. Test Icicles are the current passion. Anyone like them?
Deathside Posted 18 April 2006 Posted 18 April 2006 I love Fugazi, The Nation of Ulysses and other Dischord bands but many people have never heard of them let alone enjoy them as much as I do!! Not heard much of Fugazi, but what I have heard I liked. I worked as guitar roadie for Ian MacKaye on Fugazi's first UK tour in 1988 - Have to say they were class live in their early days Also had the added bonus of seeing a new band from London who supported them in Nottingham - I was absolutely blown away by this London band and ended travelling all over the country to see them over the next several years - The name of this band? - SNUFF

I saw them live back in the day supporting Rage Against The Machine I met up with an old friend a year or two ago and we went to Brixton Academy to see Tool He thought they were brillient...I was bored - (Did see Jack & Kelly Osbourne at the show - not that it made any difference )

Seamonsters is probably the best album of all time with another long time hero Steve Albini producing it. Brilliant band. Hearing "Kennedy" when I was 13 was like opening the door to a completely new world. This sounds a bit twee, but hearing it still excites me today. David Gedge is my favourite ever male vocalist, even more so than Morrissey.
Jordan Posted 20 April 2006 Posted 20 April 2006 Ambulance Ltd You can scratch them from your list because I like them, too. Mine? Hmm... - The Oranges Band - 50 Foot Wave - Dappled Cities Fly
martyn Posted 21 April 2006 Posted 21 April 2006 Whoever said the Wedding Present then kudos, they were a superb band I'm listening to Seamonsters right now. Super Furry Animals are my all time favourite band and none of my mates like them. They clearly have no taste.
Nationwider Posted 21 April 2006 Posted 21 April 2006 St Etienne de Crecy? Yeah, they're ok...haven't heard much of them though Etienne De Crecy was, I think, some geezer who put together the Super Discount albums - I think he is/was a DJ. Saint Etienne are a London-based band. Depending on which hat they're wearing, they make folky, electronic and pop-based music.

Super Furry Animals are my all time favourite band and none of my mates like them. They clearly have no taste. The Wedding Present shout was me. It's good to see they are still pretty popular. SFA have been/are a great band. I can't say I've followed their career too closely but they've knocked out some top singles over the years. I should really get a Greatest Hits.
