I heard this today...Did Coltrane actually exist? This is like being blind for 50 years, regaining sight, and then peering directly at the sun.
I can tell how little I know about music because I don't know one band mentioned which I guess is the point of the thread.![]()

Adios Pantalones

Tough one. Some of these are probably less obscure than I think, and there are others that I left out that probably belong here. And...well, there's love and then there's love. I don't necessarily love everything these bands did, but I passionately love at least some of it.
The A-Bones
The Collins Kids
The Detroit Cobras
Eels
Gang of Four
Iris Dement
Johnny Dowd (And you think Dylan can't sing? Hah!)
Leaders of the New School

Pere Ubu
Petra Haden (singing The Who Sell Out)
Rev. Gary Davis
Richard Hell & The Voidoids
Saturday Looks Good To Me
Sun Ra
The Wailing Souls (especially Psychedelic Souls)
X-Ray Spex
Then there are people like Nick Lowe and Art Pepper, who aren't obscure at all, but to whom I have a possibly unhealthy attachment.
And then there are the Shaggs, who are in a class by themselves.

^^ I love Meshuggah. Especailly their 90s stuff. Destroy Erase Improve is a sick album. obZen is one of the better metal albums in the last few years.

Porcupine Tree is fantastic. My Boss got me listening to them. He also loves Spocks Beard and Transatlantic out of the bands you've listed.Originally Posted by JDPNYY
Have you ever heard dredg? they're not as prog rock as the others you've listed but I guess you could consider they're style somewhat similar.

Gaslight Anthem

What? You crazy. They are the heir apparent to that Jersey Shore rock blending band. People (summers I hang around Bradley Beach/Belmar) I run across love those guys. They are starting to get a Phish like following.Originally Posted by THEBOSS84
Or worse Government Mule.
I swear I will be hanging out having a beer in Asbury (boardwalk is fantastic, not what I remember 10 years ago) and someone will blurt out they went to school with so and so or heard them at Brunswick field days....
They are very popular and I think headed to a very good career.

Anathema, Marillion, and Porcupine Tree are very good.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
well, add to it that besides my oldest brother I haven't known a single person IRL since 1993 who's mentioned or liked the band.Originally Posted by Hellsing
I think Steven mentioned them today, though (and may have in the past).
