Band you think should have been huge?

[timmytom1]

Sacred reich,hit their stride as metal was declared dead although their early stuff was awesome too

 

[timmytom1]

The Beatles, those guys were fantastic and yet the majority of the 'so called' third world couldn't give a stuff about them, those snobs.
come on now people don't quote me to rant

I loves the blatant sarcasm

 

[TerribleTerryTate]

Corrosion of Conformity. Fantastic band, although pretty popular, have no where near the fame they should do.

 

[Dr.Poisonfreak]

sonata arctica, they are amazing

 

[Naeo]

Can't say I'd really want any of the bands I love to be famous. It would mean they have to cater to the masses and that the masses would inevitably catapult them into the spotlight and TMZ or some shit would run stories on all the details of their private lives. And the record companies would start dictating what their style would be and giving them a songwriter.

 

[Ernstige Jan]

None, I like listening to bands nobody knows about.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

In Flames, Trivium, Children of Bodom, Queens of The Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Ministry, and many more.

Joke a little more, In Flames, CoB and QotSA are all huge.

Dope are from what I know, not that big, they've had two hits, but only one sounds even slightly like what they usually do.

In Flames, Trivium, Children of Bodom, Queens of The Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Ministry, and many more.

The ones I've highlighted are huge.

Where I live, nobody knows who they are.

I know children of bodom is huge in European countries, if you live in the states or canada that's probably why they are unknown.

Nope, I live in the motherload of melodeath, Sweden. The problem is the people I associate with.

 

[Mozared]

Hmm... Really, nearly everything I listen to. The Flatliners, A Wilhelm Scream, Streetlight Manifesto... They're all BRILLIANT but have only got a very small audience.

 

[DiamondJim]

Porcupine Tree deserves more attention. Nobody I know has heard of them and it saddens me.

I have! And I agree, they do deserve more attention. Great group, some truly sensational musicians.

 

[superspartan004]

Motion City Soundtrack, I'm probably the only one here who knows who they are.

 

[ThaBenMan]

One band that definitely could do with more exposure is Clutch [http://www.myspace.com/clutchband]. They've been around a good while, since the early 90's, producing awesome and intelligent rock music - thought-provoking lyrics about history and mythology and folklore, with an incredibly varied sound ranging from blues to metal to hardcore. Their new album, Strange Cousins from the West, drops on July 14th.

 

[pantallica95]

Soundgarden > Nirvana.

Personally, I don't get the whole Kurt = Lennon = Jesus thing, one bit.

Kurt saved us from hair metal. Hence, Kurt=Jesus.

OT i think Opeth should be more recognized. They are musical geniuses.

 

[Srkkl]

Flogging Molly should be a lot more famous then they are in the U.S. anyway.

 

[Lukeje]

Big Star.

 

[Hellion25]

my personal opinion is asian kung fu generation.

they're pretty big in japan, but they should get american & euro love, because they're very talented. <3

I quite like em, but I don't know if its just me but I always seem to catch a whiff of other songs in anything I hear by them. Still fun though.

I think The Answer, Black Stone Cherry, Stone Gods, and a whole bunch of others should be hitting the mainstream charts. BSC are close, the other two not so much.

 

[goldenjester]

Houston Calls, Ace Enders, Goodnight Sunrise, Bidwell, Fenix Down, and so many more.

 

[Jerious1154]

The New Pornographers, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Hold Steady

Although those are three of the most popular indie bands around, they're all relatively unknown.

 

[madcap2112]

Flogging Molly should be a lot more famous then they are in the U.S. anyway.

I agree.

Also, along the Irish vein, Thin Lizzy.

 

[mentllet]

The New York Dolls
