Band you think should have been huge?

[Mondo_Generator]

Kyuss.
Mother Love Bone.
Blind Melon.
Godflesh.

 

[G1eet]

I would say Protest the Hero but I want them to retain their musical souls...

 

[FlameOfArnor]

the Barenaked Ladies. great band, great talent, but gets less coverage than they deserve.
i only got into them by searching for the theme tune of "The Big Bang Theory" on youtube.

 

[Faps]

The Cure. Not enough people recognise the awesomeness that is Robert Smith

 

[Salem_Wolf]

I don't know how big they are, but "Demon Hunter" should be pretty big, they're a great heavy metal band. But one band that I know isn't huge, but should be, is "Eyeshine", a band founded by veteran Anime Voice actor and former Black Power Ranger: Johnny Yong Bosch. Amazing band, their album "Red Stripes White Lights" was a hell of an album. They need more exposure.

Wolfmother, wolfmother a thousand times wolfmother. Most of the people I know know one or two of their songs, but have no idea who they are.

For reference:

Cacophony ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jamc3NYRFMI ). Seriously, thats talent. To bad if they got popular then marty friedman might not of joined megadeth, quite possibly one of the very few bands better than sex.

 

[AgentNein]

The New York Dolls

Yes yes and more yes. Same goes with every proto-punk glam rock outfit. But definitely The Dolls.

I'm personally gonna say Siouxsie Sioux and The Banshees, while they were a hit with the underground and had a successful single here and there, everyone should both know and worship Peepshow, one of the best albums of all time.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Shaman's Harvest. They're from Jefferson City in Missouri.

 

[HotShooter]

Queens of the Stone Age, Hostile Groove, Throwdown.

 

[Isalan]

Rise Against. Already got a reasonable following, but deserve to be so much bigger.

 

[Vivaldi]

Maximum the Hormone. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0CWpabTA6U]

Great band. It's a shame they haven't gotten more Stateside exposure.

Don't worry, we can make them famous ourselves mate

 

[Just_Karol]

Pavement but then again its so much better they are unknown.

Agreed, they're are times I wished more people knew about them, but i have to face the obivous truth that they wouldn't of worked as a mainstream band.

 

[Flying-Emu]

Queens of the Stone Age,

You're kidding, right? QotSA WERE huge. Not as big as the 80's giants, but still HUGE.

Great band. It's a shame they haven't gotten more Stateside exposure.

Don't worry, we can make them famous ourselves mate

TO THE MARKETING BOARD

[Pm0n3y]

"Make Good Your Escape" and "Army of Me" should be more famous but the only place i ever hear their songs is in Burnout Paradise.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Fightstar. Most people that have heard of them ignore them because it has "Charlie from Busted" but they seriously are a good band and deserve to be up in the charts.

EDIT: I would've also said Kings of Leon 2 or 3 years ago.

 

[Reverend_Randy]

Probably The Ergs! They had the hooks and talent to get huge, but they never did. I'd say The Gaslight Anthem, but they're getting huge. They've been on the festival circuit all summer. Fugazi was popularish, but they transcended the talent that their scene generally allowed for. If they invested some money into advertisement, I think they could've been much huger than they are.

 

[new_age_reject]

SikTh.
They died before they got famous ;_;
Luckily I have me SIGNED POSTER to remind me of them ^_^
