    I'm a closeted 80's pop fan. Love a lot of that stuff. The more pithy the better.

    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.

    Re: Bands no one loves except you

    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
    Old 97's
    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.

    Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, and Transatlantic are all great. Marillon is pretty good too.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    what, no Mars Volta or Flaming Lips?

    Anathema, Marillion, and Porcupine Tree are very good.

    I didn't realize the barometer for measuring popularity was tied to this site!

    I just saw them a week ago and they were great. Hung out with Tate a bit...really cool guy.

    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.

    I think Steven mentioned them today, though (and may have in the past).

    I really like them.

    Here's a sample (a little bit of a slow intro, but stick with it):

    If we're talking about popularity on this site, I could probably list Hank Williams.

    I wish Porcupine Tree had a better following. Of all the bands I listed, they (Steven Wilson) deserves it.
