Yeah, not many people here in the US know Muse either. (where I live at least, lots of rednecks around here)srj4 said:

Anyone who follows me on twitter will have seen me raving about these girls. The Freza are my current favourite band, and, despite my pestering, they tell me they're not touring the UK too soon 
Now stop reading this and listen to them!

Where I live basically every band I listen to. But in the Internet I haven't seen anyone mention this band, which is one of my favorite metalcore bands:
Most of the music I listen to would probably fit in this category, if we're defining "people" as "the United States in general" at least. Glancing through the bands others here have brought up leads me to one of two possible conclusions:
- 1. A lot of people think bands are more obscure than they really are.
or
2. I know a lot of obscure bands, because I recognize a lot of those names.
I actually wrote a review [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.230423-Gildans-Guide-to-Good-Music-Hurt-Vol-1] of one of their albums here in the User Reviews section. Good band.Icarion said:
Wow. This thread is like the climax of the let-me-list-some-of-my-favorite-bands-that-you've-never-even-heard-about-because-you're-not-the-kind-of-music-lover-like-myself-now-let-me-smirk-and-tilt-my-head-slightly-upwards-as-I-assert-myself. And no one even cares what anyone has said. Sigh, EM just isn't what it used to be.

Although folk isn't really a big pull here in the corn belt so I suppose it could be expected.

I know. You know what else? The grass doesn't even seem as green anymore. The sky isn't as blue. Everything just isn't as good anymore. Because you're obviously the most sane person here. You don't have to come down from your hilltop estate to look at us lowly, dirty commoners, ya'know.Ben Bazooka said:

I've been saying that British Sea Power is the best band that nobody is listening to for years.
That was a pretty good review i liked it. You described them really well. What do you think of Goodbye to the Machine? (out of curiosity)Gildan Bladeborn said:
I like that album quite a bit as well - the sarcastic little hidden track at the end that takes potshots at their old label was an especially hilarious addition.Icarion said:
end of the spectrum, if u like paramore, or versaemerge i think u will like this band.
check out, 'better the enemy you know', on youtube.
also theres usually a good reason alot of bands are unheard of.

I've yet to know anyone else who knows of Hammerfall, but I love them. (But that might be because I'm a Templar nerd and they have Templar-themed songs XD)
So, no one's mentioned Frank Zappa? That's a shame (though I saw several mentions of Tom Waits which is always good).
First time i heard it i broke down laughing for 5 min. And everytime one of my friends is around i say hey listen to this. The track is named flowers according to youtube, which we all know is always rightGildan Bladeborn said:
Who hasn't heard of Electric Six? FIRE AT THE DISCO! FIRE AT THE TACO BELL!Sacman said:
Also, the two music videos of theirs, directed by Tom Kuntz (famously the director of recent Skittles commercials and the "Man your man could smell like" Old Spice ads) are hilariously unreal.
Heh... Abraham Lincoln...
